Sears pulled a hat that said “infidel” in Arabic about a week ago.
CAIR apparently has WAAAAAY too much time to spend shopping online.
Quick! To Amazon!!!
On a related note, I remember in 1968 the Nixon masks, complete with the less-than-flattering long pointed nose was very popular at Halloween. Especially in 72 when the Watergate mess started coming to light, the novelty stores could barely keep up with the demand. There were masks available of very president since, and it wasn’t a big deal. But wear an 0bama mask and everyone loses their effing minds.
After uproar has WALMART pulled their online Classic Ouija Board Game?
The picture has been pulled, but not the product.

What... they don’t want a frightful Halloween?!?
(Irony subsists on several levels here)
Watch PC’ness in action in only a few years.
Here’s a review of the nose:

Last year, in October, there was only one review of this nose being offensive. This year, with an article about it, everyone jumped into the Amazon review section posting that it’s racist. So now it’s racist but it wasn’t until the article.
How is anyone going to be able to dress like Klinger from MASH without this rubber nose?
Why would they pull Sheik Fagin’s nose? :)
It’s called ‘entryism’. Leftists infiltrate the boards, committees, they creep in especially in Human Relations and the personnel department, slowly, over the years, crying out ‘but we don’t want to hurt people’s feelings!’ And people with sensible viewpoints get marginalized, sneered at, reported on. The entryist leftists are really good at it.
Normal people don’t do shit like this. We are not dealing with normal people here. But ordinary well-meaning people fall back in confusion when confronted with professional agitators using guilt language. Ordinary people are not mentally armed against this crap. When they get ambushed they back off. So the leftist agitators take over the PR departments and voila, baby.
Again, CAIR tells Americans what to do and they obey.
Obama, Valerie, Huma and others must be so proud.
I used to have an uproar, traded it in for a downroar.
It has hugs the road better on turns but stops at potholes
to get a drink.
Too bad you’re not going to WalMart anymore.
We’ll miss watching you fondle the cantaloupes
and trying to look up the beef steak skirts.
By next year the only acceptable costumes will be Transgenders and Plants. By the following year Plant costumes will be tabu as being offensive to Vegetarians.
Empty gesture; first, the ‘report’ of items being pulled from shelves is likely just fiction - I sincerely doubt that CAIR has any evidence of any of these items being sold in stores on Monday, and no longer available on Tuesday. It is all about it not appearing on the website.
IF Walmart still had any of these costumes and prosthetics left, by pulling them before Halloween, they can get a full refund back from the seller rather than the half refund for items that didn’t get clearanced out. Since this was done on the Tuesday before Halloween, odds are that WalMart has already maximized all the sales they will out of these items, so it is not like the decision hurt them.
Now we have outrage over an empty gesture. I’m just going to laugh at CAIR’s stupidity, and moreso, their gloating over giving WalMart free advertising and probably doing more to sell the costume and accessory than anything else.
