That’s what they get for so publicly jumping onto the bandwagonof a POLITICAL choice not a business choice

Since my local area has many, many different restaurant, CB will not be missed. Also, I removed A&E from my Uverse tv channel selector. All gone . . .

is this great news because they might have put back Duck Dynasty but what about Phil’s imagine and picture, have they put him back too?

If they have not then they can forget my money or this family’s money

Impressive. The not-so-silent majority speaks and is heard loud and clear.

next up ... force A&E to apologize for placing Phil on leave and reinstate him to the show. These networks and businesses are playing a dangerous game by supporting one faction vs another. Their safest move is to stay out of politics and welcome all

seems to me they might be having it both ways here because have they put back Phil’s picture and merchandise?

Bet they had plenty of time to rearrange those shelves since they weren’t that busy....and right before Christmas, to boot. The genius who thought hopping in bed with GLAAD was a good idea should be fired.

Looks like all merchandise including Phil

Was at Kmart last night, wife pointed out some DD underwear but I passed

Wouldn’t mind a duck call though

I wonder if J.C. Penney will realize that also.
Pander to 1 to 3% of the population and loose your base.

Wealthy elitists who support gay don’t shop at J.C. Penny

Too late...they're off my list...

That would be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. We could be on a roll now, defending free speech and speaking freely against groups such as blacks and gays determining what views they'll allow us to express.

I will go back. At least they rejected liberal Obamahole logic.

CW II is coming...and the forces are finally becoming aligned.

“where was I going to be able to browse and buy my iron cookware,”

I pick it up at garage sales around here. Younger women inherit Gram’s old pans and put in the garage sale because it's too heavy. 50 cents is about the going rate.

That is why a business should know their customers. I very seriously doubt they have many gay customers since they are seen as the “hicks” place to eat. I’m sure these gay elitist wouldn’t want to be caught eating with “hicks”

Too late, they made their bed. Cracker Barrel caved to the Gay Gestapo.

It is my belief that what you are calling for is being scripted as we speak....the biggest problem A&E has is Phil Robertson might decide he doesn’t need A&E....and he doesn’t!!!!

They were under pressure from conservatives AND from A & E to put the goods back on the shelf. The A & E products are a huge money maker.

A&E needs to fire that CEO. She's a ratings whore. (did I say that?) A&E was pandering to an audience they didn't believe in and they used an interview one of the members had as an EXCUSE to try to rein them in.

She's ignited a firestorm, I suspect. Time to exercise our freedom of speech and not give a damn what blacks and gays want us to say.

We respect all individuals right to express their beliefs. We certainly did not mean to have anyone think different.

Cracker Barrel woke up in time. Yes, gays have a right to speak, but so do Christians. The fact Cracker Barrel didn't 'get' this from the get go means their head office is filled with knee-jerk liberal elites. I suggest they go for a little more diversity - hire a conservative or two...

just been told that Duck Dynasty is A&E products but Duck commander is the product which this family gets money from, is this true as we have bought a bunch of Duck Dynasty products which will go back if A&E gets my money?

I was going to buy a duck call to show support...$89.00 to $179.00. They had one for $19.95 put it didn’t have the DD emblem on it.

That's common sense. Not sure why it's called 'common' though, I don't see a lot of it in the world, and business, as we've seen, isn't immune from lapses in it.

When a business decides to cater to the loud, aggressive lefty political activist minority and pisses its customer base off- it isn't something that many of us soon forget- and it always goes badly for them. I still remember Smith &Wesson signing on to some gun control crap and getting hurt real bad for it.
