And now, this is happening.

An inspired conservative organizer has dreamed up "$4," a movement to combine the Christian right's support of suspended "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson with its love for $4 Chick-fil-A.

With the tagline "Stand For Free Speech. Sit For Good Food," Chick-Phil-A Day encourages participants to wear Robertson's Duck Commander-branded clothing to a Chick-fil-A on Jan. 21.

The event will serve as a protest of the A&E's decision to $4 from appearing on his reality television show after he made anti-gay and racist remarks in $4.

Here's one of the images posted in support of the rally:

Chick-Phil-A Day founder Eric Odom said he chose to hold the event at Chick-fil-A locations because the Robertson controversy reminded him of what happened to the fast food chain's CEO, Dan Cathy, $4.

At the time, Cathy's comments inspired $4 at Chick-fil-A restaurants and $4 to show their appreciation for the chain by patronizing it on the same day.

"I see them [the comments made by Robertson and Cathy] as similar, not discriminating. They are just expressing their opinions," Odom $4$4$4, a conservative news site.

So far, the $4 for Chick-Phil-A Day has been liked more than 24,000 times, with many commenters on the page expressing the sentiment that A&E's suspension is the latest in a series of attacks on Christians who want to express their faith in public, as Robertson did $4.

"Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there," Robertson answered in response to a question about the sinful acts he feels America has deemed acceptable. "Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men."

Odom works as a director of interactive media at the conservative organizing website Grassroots.com, but said he has taken on Robertson's cause on his own. Odom created the "$4" Facebook page, which now has more than 1.5 million likes, as well as the website $4.
