Costco Bans "America"

Post by travelinman67 »

Costco has ordered its stores to pull Dnesh D'Souza's book "America" from its shelves. Costco's CEO, Jim Senegal, is a well known progressive fellator.

http://mobile.wnd.com/2014/07/costco-re ... m-shelves/

Confirms what I've said for years: Progressive paradigm does not include the Bill of Rights. Book burning will be antithetically marketed as Free Speech.

Exactly. I figured Tman, if he truly cared about freedom, he would post something like,

" I don't agree with it, but it's his right as an American."

You can't say you are a champion of freedom and then get pissy when people exercise it (especially if it is contrary to what you believe).


Now, let Tman come on here, call me a liberal pussy or something like that for exercising my 1st Amendment right. :kisswink:

I wonder if it has anything to do with Costco customers being smart enough to not read D'Souza? :lol:

It's no secret that the CEO is an Obama supporter, so this isn't really out of left field. But, would a Republican be outraged if Sears refused to sell Clinton's new book? Or if Christopher Conner of Sherwin-Williams denied the White House gallons of paint? :coffee:

No, it's not ok with me but if that's how you want to run your business then who am I to say otherwise? I think it's silly to not sell the book, that's lost revenue, but it's his prerogative.

This. It's obvious there's a political motivation. I think it's stupid but it's his right.

Get the business or upgraded membership and go there before 10am. Did that this morning at SAMs club. Didn't have to negotiate around a single person throughout the entire store and then walked right up to the cashier without a seconds wait

Republicans love Hobby Lobby (for making a decision as a private company) and hate Costco now (for making a decision as a private company)

Just another case of the "its freedom only if I agree with it" mentality that continues to be perpetuated by both sides.

Actually incredible wages
and a percentage of ownership
and they write their own work schedules for the most part

:nod: Welcome to Seattle

And YES South Carolina can have Boeing (good luck and careful what you wish for)

Choosing not to sell a certain product isn't discrimination. Wal-Mart does it all the time, but I doubt you'll be starting any threads about that. :roll:

Super! I have a renter at my apartment who has repeatedly spoken in support of Democrats and Obama (remarked she'd vote for him a third time if he could run again ).

Since you say it's ok, I'm heading over there this morning to serve her with a 30 day eviction notice.

I have rental applicants lined up around the block. With first and last monthly paid, I won't lose one cent.

Thanks Ibanez! I really shouldn't be required to rent to people I don't agree with.

Yeah, selling a book in a private store is equal to being a landlord. You hate free speech when it doesn't agree with your ideals. You aren't pissed with Hobby Lobby are you?

If you want to be a hateful dick, then by all means. However, you just admitted that you are kicking people out of there house due to their speech. That's a first amendment issue and you'd be taken to court and you'd lose. But go ahead, evict them.
