When someone throws hate our way, the main response seems to be...wait for it...hate them back. In the most recent media hate-epsiode, the
Duck Dynasty patriartch Phil Robertson said some rather unsavory things in discussing his beliefs on homosexuality. A&E promptly sent him on "indefinite hiatus" (what happened to a good old-fashioned-jump-all-the-way-in firing?) setting off a firestorm of opinion and reaction...and while many are rushing to the anti-phil robertson camp, some even asking for the show to be canceled altogether, some are asking why we automatically silence those that disagree on such important topics?

and another article on the subject, this time from a self-described "lesbian, feminist & atheist" which can be summed up in the following phrase.
Paglia went on to point out that while she is an atheist she respects religion and has been frustrated by the intolerance of gay activists.
