There IS no middle line anymore, either you are part of the effort to take down this country or you're against it.

The middle line is the front line. And everyone knows which side he's on.

What does he expect---Obama's brown shirts to herd customers over from Chick fil A at the point of a bayonet?

Not during the election season...

[Randy Larsen]

After seeing the picture of the hug...

It’s a good thing Obama wore his brown pants!

Weightlifter chick definitely gets the award for most pounds lifted. Doesn’t the story say Baraq is estimated at 170?

I’d guess bubble@ss is 10 or 15 more than him.

[svcw]

So this was a set up or the SS didn’t care if obama got body slammed.

[Churchillspirit]

Wanna bet The Kenyan got a tingle down his leg?

[ansel12]

I think that he is lying also, he seems to be skilled at self promotion, and is milking this.

[RegulatorCountry]

Recall the recent difficulties experienced by Dan Cathy. Many of the participants in the “buycott” did so because of free speech concerns.

If you don't like the politics of this pizza guy, then just don't go. Announcing and encouraging a boycott could very well backfire.

[X-spurt]

LOL

[Vince Ferrer]

Your Democrat pals started it with Bush, pal.

For me it was when the senate democrats Borked Robert Bork, and the press cheered when Reagan was shot.

[TigersEye]

Announcing and encouraging a boycott could very well backfire.

Maybe. Maybe not. But that is free speech just as much as DUzer's actions. I haven't seen anyone suggest he doesn't or shouldn't have the right to promote 0bungles or tell this lie about being boycotted.

[TigersEye]

How could he possibly see a business trend in 18 hours? How many of those hours was he even open? Whining about a boycott was probably planned a couple of months ago right along with the planning for 0bummer’s “spontaneous” visit. lol

[dfwgator]

I think it goes all the way back to Watergate.

[zencycler]

Sorry, but I have to agree with the guy. He hasn’t done anything deserving of a boycott

A boycott is an organized movement, where there are leaders who actively communicate with their followers, in order to punish a business for some perceived wrongdoing. This is not a boycott. This is the cumulative individual acts of consumers who so dislike Obama that they choose not to buy their pizza from a storeowner who so enthusiastically supports him.

When you cater to the public, you should know your customers sensibilities, and take care not to reveal personally held views that may alienate the customers you serve. For example, if you have a lot of Jewish customers, you wouldn't want to go around shouting "I love Jesus" or, better yet, "I love Islam". And if you did, and you lost those customers, then yes, you are a fool, and you deserved it.

This will be used to negate the public opinion problems that the left experienced due to their boycott of Chick-fil-A. Don’t fall for it, don’t publicize or encourage it. If you’re local then just don’t patronize the place, if his politics disturb you. Quietly.

+1

[ansel12]

Plus no conservative even thought of a boycott, a boycott because the restaurant owner hugged the president?

When I fist saw his claim the word leaped out at me, boycott? huh? who? what for? it rang completely false to my ear.

We are part of the segment of the populace that would be creating, or supporting the boycott, when we all are puzzled by the very idea of a boycott, then something isn’t kosher with his claim.

[DefeatCorruption]

Hugging, touching and fawning over obama-the-muslim exudes a creepy-dirty contamination. I wouldn’t want him making my pizza. It’s too bad but he should have known better. He’s become the poster child for “Oh no, shouldn’t have done that”.

Like to see him try it with Taft or Cleveland.

——Sorry, but I have to agree with the guy. He hasn’t done anything deserving of a boycott.——

He actively used his business to support Obama’s presidential campaign. He sure doesn’t deserve my money.

I'm sorry I don't buy that. For starters the leftist press isn't going to give this coverage.
