So the question is why do people frown on him?

This is nothing more than yet another conservative playing the victimization card.

He demands the right to freedom of speech, yet bitches when someone else exercises the SAME right.

Well he has a business, so someone's right to free speech can hurt him! I understand people have opinions and want to exercise their political stance. However, I would have never taken a stance before I knew my base. Quite possibly most of his viewers are Dems.

Let the market sort it out, right correct?

You can't back out all of a sudden when things get heated or are detrimental to yourself. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Sounds like everything I expect from conservatives. They want rights only when it benefits them and want to take those rights away when they benefit someone else.

Because he's self-identifying as an idiot.

If you run a business, unless it deals with politics/gov, then stay out of politics. That's pretty much business 101.

You guys do realize that just about every response in this thread actually proves his point.

I don't think anyone is denying frowning at Republicans anymore.

This. What kind of moron doesn't realize that unless you live in an area where 100% of the people lean toward one candidate or the other, by publicly endorsing a candidate, you risk alienating some of your customers. What a moroon.

Depends on the "speech" in question. If it's potential customers launching a boycott or deciding to shop a competitor then so be it. If it's a government official deciding to give the endorser a bit of extra attention when it comes time to audit their taxes or whatnot, that's a different story.

 

[Moonbeam]

What is a pawn shop really but a means by which a more cunning person with a little money to get started can profit off the neediness of others and how is that not a fundamental virtue of Republican egotism. "I pull myself up on your need to hock your boots."

But God help us when the collectivist efforts of individuals take a principled stand against your business model using market forces by eschewing you as a moral thug.

Republicans only recognize "speech" in form of money.

Who you support is a direct reflection back on yourself. So if you support some asshat, don't be surprised if you're called on it.
