Facebook Suspends Administrator of “Boycott A & E…” Page

Posted on December 19, 2013 by Dean Garrison


Wednesday evening social media was fuming with the news of Phil Robertson’s suspension. I joined a Facebook page called “Boycott A&E Until Phil Robertson Is Put Back On Duck Dynasty.”At the time there were about 10,000 likes which I found pretty amazing in such a short time. I was unaware of what would happen after that. About 25 minutes after I joined the page the likes were at 32,000 and evidently the page was just getting started. As of now there are 1.1 million likes and it is roughly 24 hourslater.

CBS Houston reports:

As of Thursday evening, more than 1 million people have “liked” the “Boycott A&E Until Phil Robertson Is Put Back OnDuck Dynasty”Facebook page.

“This page is to show support for the freedom of speech of Americans. Unless Phil is reinstated to the show, we refuse to watch the A&E Channel!” the page states.

The page exploded when it was launched Wednesday, breaking over 200,000 likes in less than six hours and 700,000 after 20 hours. The page received more than 1 million likes in less than 24 hours.

The administrator, who is named Michael, claims he was even banned from Facebook for 12 hours because the page was generating 4,500 likes in one hour.

“The administrator of this page was banned for next 12 hours because this page generated 4.5K likes in ‘1 hour.’ People you are getting the word out! Continue to spread that we will boycott A&E until PhilRobertson is put back Duck Dynasty,” the page states.

Thousands were voicing their support on the page.

“I am going to buy a duck call from Duck Commander. I have never owned a gun or gone hunting in my life,” Watson L. Clark stated.

Teddy NeSmith said: “I stand for the U.S. Constitution and the 1st. Amendment, Phil can say anything he wishes about his religion. “

Facebook has some ridiculous rules. How can they suspend someone for putting up a page that is too popular? As of now the page still remains up and if you would like to add your support to 1.1 million people you can go here.

I should note that something may have been done to reduce the original suspension because the Administrator is back and currently posting updates. It doesn’t appear that it lasted a full 12 hours.

I read a story last night that the rest of the Robertson family has come out and said they don't see the show continuing without Phil. Good for them. Take their multi million dollar ball & go home. A&E committed financial suicide and if anyone is going to apologize for anything it will be them.

“This page is to show support for the freedom of speech of Americans." Despite what that Facebook page says, this isn't a First Amendment issue. Phil Robertson had ample opportunity to speak his mind. Seems to me that's what started the brouhaha in the first place.

He exercised his First Amendment rights. And sprained his tongue doing it.

Good luck to all,

ROFLMBO. .. It seems 1.4 million viewers and climbing by the minute disagree with you.

He and his family will laugh all the way to the bank while A&E cries on way to the bank...

I just have to laugh at these libs on here that totally miss the point. A&E purposely produced a show that features outspoken opinionated southern rednecks and it blew the roof off the ratings charts. Now they are pissed because one of the cast was a little too outspoken ? Is it because he deviated from the script or what ? It ain't like Ward & June Cleaver used the "n" word. This fake outrage is a joke and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it was all a huge publicity stunt.

But, but, but, I thought private companies had the right to do what they want! People on the right constantly defend and rationalize what the private sector engages in! A&E is a private broadcaster, so why doesn't that apply to them in this case?

Phil has the right to express himself, and A&E has the right to run their private business the way they choose to. TRUE OR FALSE?

I'll play. The correct answer is true of course. And if the share holders of A&E are cool with them slashing the throat of the biggest cash cow they have ever had then why should I care...

According to at least one article I read, the A&E exec that made the decision to axe the ol' boy said that her final decision came when he had compared homosexuality to bestiality. I'm not sure but I don't think HE compared the two, he was quoting what he said was written in the bible. It was a list of "sins" that, if comitted by a person, would keep them out of heaven. Thieves were also on the list. He didn't say they were the same sin but the punishment would be the same. Now, if he had just said thieves and people that participate in bestiality weren't going to heaven, and he was talking about bank robbers, would we still have this huge stink?? Just wondering but I'm sure the answer is no. The pc police pick and choose what everyone should be upset about. If he is a Christian and, if the bible says what he quoted it as saying, I guess everyone upset about this should also ban the bible. Just sayin'. What he said may not be politically correct but could possibly be considered biblical fact.

In breeders? Seriously? They aren't a bunch of dumb rednecks if that is what you're saying Pippin.The Robertson family is very smart and very savvy business wise.They sure don't need A&E's ratings nor their money.

Their audience is 12 million not 350 million, a loss of millions of viewers hurts.
