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.

Then they need to get “un-vague” Smarmy, ambiguous press releases won’t cut it here. That’s playing into the enemy’s hands. Look at the intellectual contortions going on at Fox where they all feel the need to trash the Robertsons while insisting on freedom of speech/religion.

I sent a very stern message.

The CB Facebook statement is being MAULED by many EX-customers, mine included, outraged at their statement & action against Phil R. I can't wait for the next company to wade in. Come on Target, Starbucks. What do you think about Phil's comments?

I think there are going to be a bunch of PR people around the country looking for jobs in the next few weeks. Merry Christmas to them!

Folks, this is GREAT! The Leftists have poked the sleeping bear once again.

My wife got a canister of popcorn for Christmas & I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Here is a stock to watch on Monday:

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (CBRL)
-Nasdaq

Friday close: 108.63 +1.25(+1.16%) Dec 20, 4:00PM EST

Looks like the anti-Phil statement came out after the close.

I suggest a name change to Packer Barrel Metrosexual Cafe.

“Cracker Barrel is pulling Duck dynasty products licensed to A&E .. The Duck commander is the family’s products they will continue to sale “

I don’ think that’s accurate

I just went on Cracker Barrel’s website and Uncle Si’s book is there but not Phil’s

Don’t give one dime to the Crap Bucket!

I left baseball in ‘94 after the strike.

Yup...I did as well...

Though I have to admit I caught a bit of Rays fever (Tampa Bay Rays) when they starting to actually win a few years ago...

20 years is respectable protest...

Mandela set the mark at 27 years...so I'm a mere piker / S

Thank you for the link in your #8. I freeped the company with a polite but strong message.

There's a CB about 5 minutes from me. I shall make my displeasure known to the manager in person as well.

C’mon man. Cracker Barrel is doing the right thing?

I personally don’t care who owns the merchandising. They are CENSORING Phil Robertson for his CHRISTIAN viewpoint, regardless who makes, sells or makes money off the transaction.

Cracker Barrel just bit the hand that feeds them. Let them make a go off of 1.5% of the population and see how that works out for them. Maybe they could host a Mardi Gras party at their stores. That’ll pack in the customers.

[savedbygrace]

Sounds like Cracker Barrel just “screwed the duck”.

That’s a twofer: LOL at Obama AND Cracker Barrel.

[ZULU]

Contact them and TELL THEM that as followers of Judaeo-Christian values, you resent their actions and will boycott them until they return Duck Dynasty Products to their shelves.

We are engaged in a KulturKampf with the Devil here - LITERALLY.

Bad move by “Cracker Barrel”!!! I wonder if they think the “GLAAD” Gay extremists will buy up all their unsold rocking chairs. By the way, “Cracker Barrel”.... many Gay folks abhor “GLAAD”....and, want absolutely nothing to do with the radical, bigots and haters of Christians that reside in that radical Gay orgnaization!!! Cracker Barrel, my family loves Cracker Barrel.....but....no more!!! Won’t see a penny of future business from this American Christian family!!!

[ZinGirl]

to CB: "wait...so you removed some products because "someone might be offended"? Well, now *I* am offended. My family is offended. My friends are offended.

We USED to eat at CB often. Heck, I did shopping there! Get a clue. Wow...get a backbone. This country's lame "someone might be offended" stance is destroying us. Where does it say we should be guaranteed from ever being offended? Being offended is a CHOICE.

CB has joined the club of spineless weenies making our country a laughing stock to the rest of the world."

[Uncle Chip]

Maybe Cracker Barrel isn’t all its cracked up to be —

[Popman]

If that is correct...CB needs to fire their communication head, because their statement on FB sure is ambiguous...

As Churchill said...

“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”

[chiefqc]

Boy, once again it proves that you can’t cure stupid.

Gee I would what leanings caused this moronic decision?

[moovova]

I don’t stand at CB’s front doors and survey the restaurant goers...but I’m betting the majority are older, bible-reading, church-going, white and hetero.

Probably not the crowd you want to offend.

[who knows what evil?]

That might fly at Cracker Barrel’s sodomite-loving locations in Red England, but as for America..? BAD idea. ‘New Coke’-level stupidity.
