Sunday, about 100 people rallied in front of the mall to support Spivack and his right to free speech.
He opened his Free Market Warrior kiosk last spring, selling such items as “Impeach Obama” bumper stickers and baby bibs that say, “My parents chose life. Thanks Mom and Dad!”
Spivack said he's found other stores in the mall selling T shirts and other merchandise with offensive slogans and feels he's being targeted “purely for politic reasons.”

Oh boy, apparently they own Arizona Mills. Darn it!
Big-time RAGE is here. RATs will be voted out; count on it.
“other merchandise with offensive slogans
I’m curious as to what the “offensive slogans” were.”
I dunno. However, my 58 year old neighbor (female) had a fascinating shirt on over the weekend.
It said, “Don’t Touch the Knobs, They are Already Adjusted”
Holy CRAP, these people are HUGE!! “King of Prussia mall” and 40 others in the NJ/Pennsylvania area alone. I will no longer go to these places. Thanks for posting!
I know the feeling. They also own a couple of our favorite outlet malls here in Northern California. On the bright side, we'll save gas and put the sales tax revenue into our local merchants, I suppose...
You gotta let managers of anchor stores know of your boycott.
It’s a real uphill battle but if enough folks speak up, a few waves will be felt.

With the huge slump in commercial real estate, I should be VERY surprised if such terms are becoming more and more common. Especially so after this little incident.
We have the right to boycott your business when you take a stand we disagree with.
Case closed.
Typo, sorry. Should read ‘’NOT becoming more common’’ instead of ‘’becoming more common’’.
Looks like lots of dying malls from what I can tell.
F’ing media is so shameful. If you glanced at the headline without reading the story, you would assume those who constituted the “protest,” were supportive of Obama. The Headline suggests not only a conflict, but a numerous disparity, and they are trying to set a tone of normal versus undesirable.
The media are the lowest of the low. Scum.
New Hampshire and Mass Freepers...Simon Property owns the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua and the Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester. Two locations prime for a boycott!
Dissent is supposed to be the highest form of patriotism, after all...
Figures that we finally move closer to Ontario Mills, and the owners find a reason for us to go to Victoria Gardens instead.
Rock the malls with ACORN protests
Fa la la la la, la la, la la
Loot the stores Dear Leader detests
Fa la la la la, la la, la la
Don we now our CHANGE apparel
Fa la la, fa la la, la la la
Commerce is in mortal peril
Fa la la la la, la la, la la
