I think they would if there was an outcry...yes, I do. First and foremost they are a business.

[HiTech RedNeck]

ONLY when an outcry happened.

Have there ever been benefit auctions on ebay!! Anyway, it is their business and they can run it as the wish.

[Hildy]

So what? This is such a non-story. Do you really support a man who murdered someone? I’m sorry..I don’t get it.

[org.whodat]

The seller is “Pacific Book Exchange”, do you have a problem reading.

[HiTech RedNeck]

You wouldn’t be calling it a non story if, in fact, it WAS a non story for you. I conclude it is a story for you.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And they are by no means immune from any reaction we choose to their hypocrisy. So there.

[org.whodat]

No one said you had to do business with them!!

I look for almost any other vendor before considering eBay.

It should also be noted that Ebay allows auctions for the book, “The Anarchist Cookbook”. A bit hypocritical, that...

I don't know that the AC trumpets and celebrates the murder of a specific person. The family of the victim requested these items be taken down, and I can see why... Does anyone really think that the following is not offensive to a victim's family?

One drawing was of David and Goliath that depicted David holding the head of Goliath and the name “Tiller” on Goliath’s forehead. The words “child-murdering industry” were written on the corpse.

And Wesley Cook, aka Mumia, doesn't go around trumpeting and celebrating Officer Faulkner's death. He's disgusting and should be wormfood, but this issue is very different. A cold-blooded murder is being celebrated.

I don't know that the AC trumpets and celebrates the murder of a specific person.

I don't believe it does (I can't check because ironically I sold my copy on Ebay some years ago). When I said it was "a bit hypocritical" I was mistakenly attributing the statement about bombing to Ebay, when it was actually made by an attorney for the Tiller family.

(Note to self: Self, make sure you read what you copy & paste a bit more carefully in the future.)

I agree that it was wholly appropriate to remove the auction.

Welcome to America.

I just find it hypocritical to say the least. sure they are a private company and can do what ever they want kind of like the ‘government is now they will stick it down our throats and then say stick it up your arse if we don’t like it. welcome to the USSA.

Ask the children who tiller the killer killed if they thought their deaths were in cold blood.
To me this man is a hero the same as the people who strung up Mussolini and hunted down Nazis.

[Hildy]

Thank you for identifying yourself as the nut you are.

[guitarplayer1953]

Hopefully tiller went straight to hell and all the aborted children went straight to heaven and may all the women who killed their unborn children be tormented with nightmares the rest of their days. And never find grace with God.
