But they've just defined themselves as an organization that supports hatred and bigotry. Maybe that won't affect their bottom line but it sure makes a clear distinction of who they are. And the people can now make a more conscious choice whether to support their establishment or not.

The "cracker" barrel. Sounds like the appropriate place for the Duck Dynasty's stuff.
