I know that the assumption of Conservatives and the media was that "liberals" whined about Phil's comments. I generally do not assume such assumptions are fact until I have evidence of such, like a quote or admission by a party. I often find that such assumptions are false. That is one of the reasons I asked for a cite.
Your cite simply does not say what you claim. This is one of the things I dislike about Breitbart and Huffingtonpost, the articles are written to support an assumption that may be true, but the there is not there. A&E executives had a telephone call with GLADD, sometime the day after that call A&E took some action. Now it is implied that GLADD whined about Phil, and it may well be true, but I am not accepting that as fact until I see more than the implication that the media is making.
Be outraged as much as you want, call my personal ability to keep up with current events into question all you want. I simply want to know something like this, before I assume it to be true. I understand your desire to assume its true, based on your political identification, but I don't operate that way, so call me beyond hope or whatever.. that's your prerogative, but I tend to think that says more about you than me.
