Cher calls for Walmart boycott (over gun sales)
KNVN-TV ^ | December 19, 2012

Singer Cher has called on her fans to boycott a major retailer over its gun sales following the Connecticut elementary school shooting last week.

The Second Amendment has been called into question following the killings of 20 children and six adults by suspected gunman Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Politicians are now calling for an overhaul of firearm laws to make it harder for people to buy semi-automatic assault weapons, but sales of guns have risen dramatically since the tragedy, with leading retailer Walmart reportedly running out of stock in five states.

Now singer and Democratic Party supporter Cher has urged her Twitter.com followers not to shop at the store over its policy to continue selling firearms in the wake of the school massacre.

In a series of posts, she writes, "Everyone Should Boycott Wall Mart (sic)! They R (sic) Biggest Seller Of Guns In U.s ! Pick Up Milk, pick Up Bullets. Shop (rival retailer) Target...

Not only that. In L.A, mostly Asians, mexicans and blacks are situated in these kinds of neighborhoods and they depend on WalMart. Cher has most probably never been to WM so she should STFU.

Time to Reprise one of my timeless classics. Safe to do so, because nobody read it the first time I posted it.
Half-Wit
Cher

My mother married a Sarkisian
[That's 1960's for 'Kardashian']
As a young singer I was nuthin' much
Until one day I got the Bono touch


Half-wit, that's all I ever heard
Half-wit, [that's one-half more than I deserve]
Half-wit, she's a dunce they warned
Smart folks have all mocked me since the day I was born


I made a movie once with Nicholas Cage
And with the gay crowd I was all the rage
The real rockers always laughed at me
Especially when I bared my ass on MTV


Half-wit, that's all I ever heard
Half-wit, [that's one-half more than I deserve]
Half-wit, she's a dunce they warned
Smart folks have all mocked me since the day I was born


I had a problem, more than just a quirk:
Three times each decade I've had plastic work
My life since Sonny's been from doc to doc
My ideology is just a crock


Half-wit, that's all I ever heard
Half-wit, [that's one-half more than I deserve]
Half-wit, she's a dunce they warned
Smart folks have all mocked me since the day I was born

I say we boycott all things Cher.

I think the public already has. It's just that she hasn't figured that out yet.

Walmart has plenty of her merchandise for sale. Has she demanded they remove her products yet? If I ran Walmart, I would not buy any more Cher products, and give away all remaining stock: a free Cher item with every gun purchase.

Also comes with a padlock Made In China. All you have to do is toss the internal lock keys and the padlock.

“...thousands of people who will now go there just to spite the skank.”

Was planning on visiting Walmart today for a couple boxes of CCI .22 mag ammo. Guess now I’ll buy 2 extra....and let them know why I’m doing so.

Cher says:
"Don't shop at Wall Mart"

"Shop at Jim's Drugs, instead"

I’m sorry. I’ll never get used to seeing her without Gregg Allman.

If those gross pictures of WALLMART shoppers that travel the net are Cher fans then the public and Wallmart will be done a favor if that lot stays home

What’s a ‘Cher’? Is that something you sit on when sitting at a ‘Tabble’?

She wants us to shop at a retailer named “Target”?

Is she so stupid that she doesn’t sense the irony of that?

Never mind, she IS that stupid.

I was going to post something but after reading the other post by you guys, I realized that you have said it all.

For what it’s worth, I boycotted Cher when I turned 8 years old and discovered The Who and Rush.
