If you remember all the anti minority outrages that have happened over the years, then it is almost certainly being self perpetrated. They are sending those things to themselves. Or they are just saying they are receiving them. They mention “suspicious packages” but I didn’t see where the police were involved.

[FerociousRabbit]

I don’t see A&E’s position on this. The family was hired to do a “reality” program and Mr. Robertson was being true to the character that A&E contracted with and they want to fire him for it? Even though Robertson is at the height of his popularity?

Just doesn’t seem to make logical sense.

Does it make sense that CNN and MSNBC continue to watch their ratings swirl around as they go down the toilet? To leftist TV execs, it is full speed ahead — ratings be damned. They have an agenda to push that is more important than anything else.

[Carriage Hill]

Death threats? $10 says they’re coming from the homos an anonymous accounts, posing as Conservatives.

Well, it fits a pattern. Hollywood serves up dud left-wing movie after dud left-wing movie while movies embracing conservative values rack up big box office numbers. One would think the starting point to making a ton of money in show business would be pretty obvious, but they simply don't want to see it. And you cannot cure deliberate ignorance.

It's akin to the situation with the GOP-E - they would rather lose than embrace conservative values that bring electoral victory.

Add Cracker Barrel to A&E as a boycott target!

Phil Robertson for President!

I’m having bumper stickers printed. Millions should do the same and watch the heads of the Left explode....along with the heads of the weenies in the eGOP.

[Texas resident]

The civil rights act of 1964 doesn’t apply to white Christian males.

Also, there is a difference in the merchandise out there.
There is Duck Commander stuff and Duck Dynasty stuff.
The family gets royalties off the Commander stuff.
A&E gets a cut from the Dynasty stuff because it has the A&E logo on it.

The boss and I went to Academy and bought up a bunch of Duck Commander stuff for our like minded family and friends.

An opportunity for Phil to sit down with gay families to discuss their lives and the values they share????

1.not an opportunity for Phil,opportunity for GLAAD
2.they share no values

So this would be some sort of an ‘intervention’ for Phil I assume.

Perhaps the ‘gay families of lousiana’ along with GLAAD reps.would be open to a Sunday church service with the Robertson family for some real value sharing.

Of course that would never happen, libs aren’t interested in ‘sharing’ ANYTHING besides other people’s money

[txrefugee]

Such a meeting between GLAAD and Phil Robertson would be the usual horse manure, where the Left gets publicity and the Right gets the shaft. If a conservative doesn’t cave, the Leftist media brands him an “extremist, bigot, racist, homophobe.” Think House Republicans and Obama/Harry Reid here.

[Lacey]

I just don’t believe that there are death threats against GLAAD or other homosexual pressure groups because of this.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Duck guys are the ones getting the threats...except they're not drama queens and just deal with it.

[Uncle Chip]

I think when A&E use the phrase “death threats” they are really talking about the threats to their livelihoods — the death of their paychecks.

There are a lot of people there involved in this decision who are going to lose their jobs over this — and hopefully it goes all the way to the top.

[who knows what evil?]

On Friday there were reports of beefed security, death threats, suspicious packages, merchandise sell outs and a lot of backlash toward the gay community.

Death threats? Suspicious packages? Yeah...right.

[ZULU]

I hope the whole damn network goes bankrupt.

[who knows what evil?]

This is an unpopular decision but there are ways to make a point without calling for violence.

Tell it to the lefty communists...THEY are the 'violent ones'.

[who knows what evil?]

I read where Cracker Barrel is pulling all DD products from their shelves

Considering their clientele; that would be incredibly stupid.

[who knows what evil?]

The Anus & Erect Network is now blocked on my system.

Doesn't matter...A&E still gets a cut from your cable bill.

I wouldn't be so quick to condemn retailers pulling DD merch off the shelves.

It is my understanding that A&E gets a cut of the revenue from the sales of DD merchandise sold by retailers like cracker barrel, walmart, etc.

I'm told that if you want to support the family and ensure A&E is deprived of the revenue, then you should ONLY BUY FROM THE FOLLOWING:

http://duckcommander.com/
--or--
http://buckcommander.com/

So if my understanding is correct, Cracker Barrel is actually depriving A&E of revenue by yanking DD merch off their shelves and in that regard, I support their decision. You should too!

[Guenevere]

It is being reported that they're only pulling anything with Phil Robertson's face on it....WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE!

There is a Cracker Barrel nearby and I intend to visit it today to see for myself, and if need be, have a talk with the manager.

[ZULU]

O.K. Makes sense to me.

[snappahead]

Absolutely correct. This is nothing more than a big opportunity for the Robertson family to “admit” they were wrong, apologize and fade off into the sunset,anything short of that will be road apples as far as the left is concerned.
