While many in the liberal media are cheering A&E's decision to suspend Phil Robertson from further filming of the network's Duck Dynasty reality show, MSNBC's Thomas Roberts suggested that the move by the network may not be "enough."

In a Facebook post, the openly gay MSNBC Live host posed to his fans the "big question" of the day (screen capture below page break):


Did A&E go far enough in suspending "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson for his anti-gay remarks?

Roberts also asked this question during his 11 a.m. Eastern program on Thursday to solicit feedback from his audience via Twitter and Facebook.
