While there has been a widespread media backlash over anti-gay remarks made by ‘Duck Dynasty’ patriarch Phil Robertson, it doesn’t look like demand for the hit A&E show’s merchandise is waning.

“Most people who are buying the brand, they are like-minded to Phil anyway,” Hans Wilz of Great Ideas LLC, told USA Today. Wilz’s company helped create Duck Dynasty-scented candles that are sold across the country. “That demographic is not offended by what he said.”

Cracker Barrel initially pulled the show’s products from shelves only to return them days later following a barrage of emails, tweets and phone calls from Duck Dynasty fans threatening to boycott the 625-store chain. Upon resuming sales, Cracker Barrel issued the following statement, Forbes reports. [...]

Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, has not commented on its future with the show, even as T-shirts bearing Robertson’s image, bobbleheads of the family and scads of other merchandise soar in sales.

Yes, Robertson will be able to sell his stuff to people who wax nostalgic about Jim Crow and who think Gays are all Murderers and terrorists. Ann Coulter is able to make a niche market on this too. But she, like Phil Robertson, will never be mainstream again.

Its interesting Robertson is using Walmart to sell his stuff. I guess he's such a great Christian that he'll use a store where much of the stuff is made by a Godless, mandatory abortionist regime like China. I wonder if he cares if China is using all the $$$$ their making off Walmart to force people to have abortions against their will and shut down Christian churches. I don't think he's prepared to put his money where his beliefs are. Unless, of course, he doesn't care about abortions or human rights abuses when they are being foisted on non-white persons.

You getting all preachy about someone selling goods at Walmart is absolutely rich.

Duck Dynasty's brand and therefore manufacturing is controlled by A&E since Duck Dynasty is their brand. Duck Commander and Buck Commander are wholly owned by the Robertsons.

Maybe you should get all up in A&E's grill over their using Chinese labor?

Hey, Robertson is calling all Gay people murderers while using a distribution channel (if not a contract manufacturer) that actually forces people to have abortions against their will (and they do).

And those two are unrelated. But leave it to tom to find a red herring and post it like it matters.

So tom now believes in economic sanctions for Robertson, but wants people out of business if they won't bake a cake.

pssst.

There's more of us "inbred hillbillies" than there are of you queers and communists. We have plenty of money and buy stuff like guns and duck dynasty camo.

Just a friendly reminder.

The bottom line truth is this whole thing is blowing up in the gay community's faces just like the Chic-Filet issue did. The CEO of Chick-Filet and Phil gave their honest opinions and the gays don't like it.

Tough sh^t. If the truth hurts, we can tell you some lies to placate your hurt feelings.

I love it that RaceBaiter Jesse Jackson chimed in on Phil's comments. Go try to shake down Cracker Barrel, Jesse (when you're not busy fathering another love child through one of your skanks). Here's a hint to the racebaiters - Phil Robertson ain't Paula Deen. He is not backing down.

A&E certainly is, though, since they are in negotiations with Duck Dynasty to extend their cash cow series.

Just like Chick-Fil-A...AE will sit back and reap the profit off the "outraged" rubes...

and just like I said when this all started...AE will reinstate him...conservatives declare victory because the shows back...Glaad declares victory since he got suspended...and AE makes lots off $$$ of the exposure and ratings.

Network execs are smart people...that's why they make big bucks.

What was flawed about it? It showed a shocking disregard of Jim Crow's impact on African Americans, even in Ouachita Parish while he lived there. I wonder if he voted for David Duke when ran for governor (West Monroe's white population went heavily for Duke). I think someone should go look up the campaign contributions to Duke from West Monroe.

He didn't show much disregard. He said what he saw with his eyes.

As I've said before, my entire family from the generations before me would say the same thing he said. They went to church, they worked, they went downtown on the weekends, they shopped at the same stores, life was life. The Hedonic treadmill doesn't allow a stable person to be but so unhappy, no matter the circumstances. That doesn't say that they were happy because of segregation, they were happy in spite of it. They were happy in the manner that Phil Robertson spoke.

When I heard about this I had a chuckle when I realized that I, as someone who has never watched a minute of that show, is doing more to combat A&E than any of these outraged fans blowing their wads on redneck swag.

You're not the only one suspicious of the whole event

Pfft. That's where you err.

I was wrong about something. A&E does indeed own Duck Dynasty rights.

ATK (Obama's war mongers) owns Duck Commander rights.

Don't buy either, and sorry for the misinformation.



ATK's site hosts the Duck Commander catalog:

The truth must really pain you. You and RobertN are both so butthurt that 90% of America supports this guy that you call them all inbreds or supporters of terrorists or whatever retarded crap it is that you believe. You two stand alone.
