It’s not clever or funny, why bring any attention to it?
“Personally, I think it has more to do with the parents sensibilities than the children’s.”
Until the child is old enough to realize he or she is “different” and the other kids start giving them a hard time. Kids can be very cruel. Why give them the idea that ridicule and mean tricks is acceptable by selling crap like those mugs? There’s a big difference between being PC and showing kindness and caring.
exactly
I would think Sarah would have more important things to do then protest about stupid mugs in the novelty section of Wal Mart.
We don’t need our own brand of “PC”, I want to destroy all of this PC nonsense
Don’t like the mug, don’t buy it
It is true that we have much bigger fish to fry than to worry about what stupid sayings are on Walmart coffee mugs.
However, calling the distributor out for this hurtful saying will galvanize a little push back.
We have heretofore failed, for decades, to push back. We have instead “sucked it up” and look where we are now, and how low it has brought our culture.
Remember Giuliani was praised for addressing the little things and the petty crimes very firmly and expeditiously. That serious commitment to punishing the little things brought the greater and more serious crimes down as well.
$20.99 a pop. Didn’t Wally World put the “Got Hitler” mug also?
This was on the Walmart online store site where vendors can set up items of theirs for sale.

Maybe the cup refers to the timing on a car’s distributor?
I had a spirited conversation with a blinded liberal about labels and terms. The argument got to black people and how we have to show them respect by calling them “African American.”
I have a friend who is African born in South Africa... OH. He’s white. SO, does he get the title “African American?” Of course not. He’s white.
Then I introduce the subject of another friend who is from St. Lucia. He is black and calls himself black. BUT... He is still called African American. He is neither African or American.
The logic of liberals is best not analyzing.
That reminds me. I was watching a US based news show in Berlin. There was another riot in Paris and as usual it was a bunch of imported black savages burning cars and looting stores. I did a spit take when the stupid American urinalist was referring to the rioting “youths” as “immigrant African Americans of Sudanese orgin”.
Keep in mind, the Big Mahaff; The person at the top of the food chain at WalMart is a female; A demented, pro-Hillary female, to be precise. Commie libs, one-and-all, are such total phony saxofschidt!
Let businesses sell items with whatever message, as long as it isn’t obscene. Let the customers be the judge.
No, this is just our version of “PC” culture
I thought we won an entire campaign of not being “PC” and now we want to shove our brand of “PC” BS down everyone’s throats?
Don’t like the mug, don’t buy it
Don’t like Wal-Mart, don’t shop there
Its that simple
We can destroying liberalism by destroying Political Correctness and the media, not by adopting Political Correctness and becoming “PC Lite”. Remember, becoming “democrat lite” or RINOs did not help out party one bit
Pushing back with PC is just stupid and counter productive.
“a baby who was born with prenatal Down syndrome”
As opposed to ‘Adult Onset Downs’.
Reports are so effing stupid.
Sarah Palin Blasts Walmart for Seriously
Offensive Coffee Mug
share tweet mail
It’s no secret that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has a baby who was born with prenatal Down syndrome.
His name is Trig.
Over the years the left has pounded the Palin’s son mercilessly.
Because, “tolerance” or something.
Hey Walmart, got heart?
Too little, too late came your eventual criticism of the dispiriting coffee mug you marketed.
Glad you pulled it, but I’ll forever question why you even promoted it in the first place.
Oh, and to the bottom dwellers who’ll now pull their predictable stunt, sending my family this latest crap since I spoke out against it *sigh... you’re not clever nor original. It’s cool receiving your gifts like this for my target practice, but obviously a more conscionable thing to do is donate your 20 bucks somewhere like this list suggests:http://www.christianitytoday.com/…/special-needs-ministries…;
Bet you’ll have a merrier Christmas doing so.
A few years ago, Target was asked to donate to the Vietnam Veteran’Wall and they declined.
Their response was that Veterans do not meet our area of giving. We only donate to the arts, social action groups, gay & lesbian causes, and education.’
As a follow-up, someone from VVW E-mailed the TARGET U.S. . Corporate Headquarters and their response was the same…
That’s their national policy!!!Then they looked into the company further…They will not allow the Marines to collect for ‘Toys for Tots’ at any of their stores. And during the recent Iraq deployment, they would not allow families of employees who were called up for active duty to continue their insurance coverage while they were on military service…Then as I dig further, TARGET is a French-owned corporation.
So the vets boycotted them. Within a few months, VVW had asked to provide them with a sponsorship donation for the Wall because they were getting clobbered financially with no sales from the vets.
The same can be done with Walmart. There is no excuse for this. Shut them down!!!

Dennis Miller had a great line about liberals: “Liberals have a lot of love in their hearts who wish you dead because you don’t have as much love in your heart”
This OCD shirt is for all the loons out there that think Christmas is all about commercialization of the birth of Christ. I quit giving gifts on Christmas and I quit receiving them as well unless they were to donate it to the local church.
“Retarded? Well, little Barry’s an extra few degrees before top dead center if ya know what I’m sayin’.”
Yep.
I suppose the writer was trying to make the point that Down’s is genetic, rather than acquired at birth, but he did poorly.
LOL, he’s kinda cute, your Underzog
