MSNBC: How do we combat 'Duck Dynasty' clan from doing what's legal?

Because MSNBC long ago stopped being a news channel in favor of becoming visual left-wing talk radio, the "Lean Forward" network continues to make a fool of itself in ways both big (mocking a black infant) and small. On a slow news Friday, MSNBC rising star Thomas Roberts and a guest spit-balled on the air over how to "combat" the Duck Dynasty clan from doing something legal -- like releasing their own line of firearms:

MSNBC didn’t get the note from the Gay Mafia to shut up about the whole thing because it backfired.

LOL

Ladd Everitt has served as the Director of Communications of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence since May 2006.

I guess it beats having to work for a living. The boy looks like a fairy.

So this family earned $200,000 per episode that season and they represent and they speak to a large swath of the country. Primarily the stereotype almost that you just pointed out. But how do you try to combat that? Because, obviously they're within their rights to go ahead and do this. This is all legal.

You're right Flaming - you can feel in Thomas Roberts' comments he hates that it's legal for Phil of Duck Dynasty to hold different views than he holds. Roberts is one of the creepier totalitarians on MSNBC ...

The show is rated higher by women of all ages than men. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2229907/ratings
Females under 18, 18-29, 30-44 and 45+ all rate the show higher than their male counterparts.

I suspect A&E wanted to portray the Robertsons as a modern day version of the Beverly Hillbillies. Some back country patriarch comes into some money....is too stooopid to know what to do with it....hijinxs ensues. It didn’t work out that way.

I believe you're right lacrew. Liberal elite haters at A&E wanted to laugh at traditional Americans - NOT give them platform from which to speak. I'll bet Phil knew that... and allowed the A&E buffoons to feel 'oh so superior' until he had them right where he wanted them...

A&E knows what they are doing. Just when DD should start flagging in the ratings Phil grabs the national spotlight? And then AE doubles down on episodes? Watch what AE does not what they say.

As for DD their mission is to make money. That is not a family of rednecks. Pay attention to pre-DD pictures, notice the college degrees, even the church is not redneck. Heck, duck hunting is not generally considered a redneck activity.

My guess is that they are social conservatives and populist. In a former political age they would have been blue dog democrats.

Who cares what they say? Nobody is watching.

Thanks for the stats, doesn’t surprise me though, my little sister lives in West Monroe and says they’ve practically become a tourist attraction...

I'm sure A&E thought they'd be nothing more than Honey Boo Boo with facial hair.
