Cracker Barrel statement:

Cracker Barrel’s mission is Pleasing People. We operate within the ideals of fairness, mutual respect and equal treatment of all people. These ideals are the core of our corporate culture.

We continue to offer Duck Commander products in our stores.

We removed selected products which we were concerned might offend some of our guests while we evaluate the situation.

We continually evaluate the products we offer and will continue to do so.

Well, as a Cracker, Cracker Barrel, I find your name extremely offensive to my people.

Kicked off a message: "Very disappointed in your decision to cater to social-manipulation politics instead of the down home country moral ambiance and good cooking you have long stood for. Your restaurants used to be bright stops in my travels - no more."

Probably won't do any good to take the polite approach, but cussing/ranting/raving is the general tactic of the Left.

” I suspect there will be a LOT of empty rocking chairs on the ‘ol front porch come tomorrow morning”

While I agree on principle with your post I think freezing weather is a bigger consideration for porch chair rockers tomorrow.

“I suggest a name change to Packer Barrel Metrosexual Cafe.”

I don’t patronize Cracker Barrel, I have never watched DD, and I will never waste money on any DD merchandise. I cut the cable just over a year ago, and I don’t miss it one bit.

And this has nothing whatsoever to do with Robertson’s personal views on homosexuality or his religious beliefs.

Good for you.

Travel I 95 and you’ll see plenty of other places to stop. Chick fil A for one.

From my reading of this, if Cracker Barrel pulled the “Duck Dynasty” merchandise yet kept the “Duck Commander” stuff, they did the right thing.

“Duck Dynasty” is the brand-name owned by A&E. “Duck Commander” is owned by the Robertson Family.

Be smart in who you choose to go after.

What stupid fag came up with this bright idea? "Cracker" Barrels very existence pisses off blacks who avoid the place like the plague, now they want to piss off white rednecks, their core constituency , becaue a couple of homosexual communist front groups have their panties in a wad over nothing?

People running most corporations are clueless.

Imho, the CEO of Cracker Barrel better extricate his cranium from his anal cavity before he winds up losing money for his stakeholders.
