What do they mean, “selected products”? Just the ones with Phil on them, while leaving the rest of the Duck Dynasty products on the shelves, maybe? If they’re on the fence and trying to please all sides, they will end up pleasing no one.

And now the lowly duck call sounds in rebellion...

“It just astounds me how many corporations are completely clueless when it comes to knowing their customer base.”

Example: J C Penneys.

And let us not forget A&E. Theirs is perhaps the biggest blunder in television history.

It looks like CB mostly pulled the Duck Dynasty stuff. The Duck Commander stuff is still being carried.

For what it’s worth the Duck Commander line is owned by the family and is what we should be buying. The Duck Dynasty line is owned (as far as I can tell) by A&E and A&E collects a percentage of everything in the line sold. That’s the line we don’t want to buy!

in the optical department there is a card board stand up of Willy and Si. Both say Duck Commander on them.

I need new specks..

I think these companies believe they can capture the attention and new business from different markets. Whatever, it certainly is more about money than values.

It is said that humor never killed anyone,
however ridicule has driven some to suicide
so at least we can put our faith in ridicule.
Blowing a duck call when liberals lie calls
their hypocracy out.

Dunno how that works, but I'll bet that anything with the Robertsons' likeness on it at Walmart is under contract to A&E.

Best to buy directly from Duck Commander, in my opinion.

Cool! Another business to boycott. Any business that takes sides in the culture war against me and mine can write my business off. There are almost always alternatives. There are certainly plenty of alternatives to Cracker Barrel.

Phil’s comments on race didn’t help, and Cracker Barrel is sensitive about that. I think it’s that, more than the faggotry, that’s responsible for this.

In Minneapolis we did manage to put the CB in maple grove (or was it Brooklyn park?) out of business in a few years. I did some POS (point of sale) upgrades at the lakeville one not to long ago. I think it’s still there.

There is a Machine Shed in Oakdale I’ll have to check out.

We also really love Pizza Ranch. They are a Right/Christian company too.

check out their blog :)

C.B. offers this explanation ... "We operate within the ideals of fairness, mutual respect and equal treatment of all people. These ideals are the core of our corporate culture."

That 'fairness' doesn't extend to people with Christian beliefs who have the nerve to express them... Remember, we must not judge... well, unless you're a liberal elite judging conservatives or Christians - then JUDGE away.

Conservatives are told to 'turn the channel' if we don't like something. But when they don't like something they want us off the air. Yeah, that's 'fairness'....

Not saying there's two standards - one for liberal elites which allows anything and everything... and one for us that allows nothing...

the frames say duck commander on them. I agree most of the other stuff in the store is A&E but I am pretty sure duck Commander labeled stuff is NOT connected to A&E.

Haven’t been to a CB in years so they won’t miss my business when I never go back.

While we don’t care for Chick-fil-A’s sandwiches, we make a point to stop by the only one within an hour of here if just to grab a coke.

Please people, buy a clue. Duck Dynasty merchandise is owned by A&E. Duck Commander merchandise is owned by the Robertsons, and A&E gets nothing. By keeping the later and ditching the former, they are siding with the Robertsons!

I’d say it’s Duck Commander/Realtree selling them through walmart. Has nothing to do with A&E

I haven’t read all of the links to “DD” threads.
Has anyone mentioned that this is also taking place during the season of the celebration of the birth of Christ.
