While I understand your sentiment...
The difference in this is that the Dixie Chicks record label did not drop them. The people just boycotted their product.
Here, PR has been suspended for an honest opinion outside the show. Let the customers speak to whether or not he should still be profitable, not political correctness.
Honestly. If he had been on The Jesus Network and came out in support of Gays and they suspended him from the show for saying something in conflict with what the network believed? wouldn't people in the opposite side feel the same way?
And I know I'll catch flack for this.... 41 was a classy guy. Made big mistakes (huge) while in office but you have never seen that guy come out and bad mouth the people who did things like what the Dixie Chicks did.

The record label may not have dropped them, but they were "suspended" from many radio stations. Also, new episodes with Phil will be aired in January, and none of the merchandise featuring Phil has been pulled from the shelves.
The network is probably just waiting for all of this to die down, then it will be business as usual with Phil continuing to be on DD.
