Fans of “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson are being invited to sign a petition addressed to A&E demanding the network reinstate the duck call maker on its hit show.

“Mr. Robertson’s comments in GQ Magazine are simply reflective of a Biblical view of sexuality, marriage, and family – a view that has stood the test of time for thousands of years and continues to be held by the majority of Americans and today’s world as a whole,” the petition by Faith Driven Consumer reads. “Many members of the LGBT community may not agree with this view, but the notion that a free-thinking American should be discriminated against simply for expressing a perspective that is in conflict with another is patently un-American and flies in the face of true tolerance and civility.”

The petition, published on the website IStandWithPhil.com, had almost 2,400 signatures when this story was published.

Sarah Palin and Lousiana Gov. Bobby Jindal are also among those who have expressed similar outrage since Robertson was canned for his remarks to GQ magazine critical of homosexuality.

The gay rights group GLAAD and many others have praised A&E for its quick action in indefinitely suspending Robertson for his remarks.

Nope. Apparently, I don't need to. They're covering about 1000 signatures every 10 minutes or so.

Well, that's the issue. Regardless of any contract, a person should have the right to speak his or her mind regarding any issue.

It's funny, I wonder if GLAAD bombards the pope with little letters about the subject..

All these groups are nothing more than cowards. Ruin somebody else's good fortune because they don't agree with your lifestyle/beliefs. If they had half the balls that Phil had they'd walk up to him and give him a piece of their mind directly. Might not turn out very well, but...
