This has got to be the dumbest story I've heard about Obama haters. I mean..did you expect the guy to be an asshole to the President because you don't like him?

Obama told The New York Times that Van Duzer’s effort in promoting blood donations was part of the reason the campaign decided to visit his pizza shop.
“One of the reasons that we wanted to stop by is that Scott has been doing unbelievable work out of this pizza shop in promoting the importance of donating blood,” Obama told the Times. “And so he has set some records here in Florida. He has received commendations from the White House, the surgeon general, he has galvanized and mobilized the local community and he’s educating kids and folks all across the country on this issue.”
Inside the shop Sunday, Obama wanted to know how to look like Van Duzer.
“Everybody look at these guns,” Obama said. “If I eat your pizza, will I look like that?”

“People are saying a lot of bad things and boycotting my restaurant,” Scott Van Duzer, 46, told POLITICO. “There’s no middle line anymore, and that’s exactly what’s wrong with our country right now.”

How lame is this?

The Republican hate machine knows no bounds. They even hate their own if they even mention the slightest good thing about Obama.

while the owner is right "There’s no middle line anymore, and that’s exactly what’s wrong with our country right now."

having people boycutt is a price a business owner faces when he pisses off the people.

....and we all know that Democrats/Liberals never, ever hate.

So, you're detracting from the story by accusing Democrats of hate?

Find me a story about a Pizza shop being boycotted by Democrats because the owner hugged Mitt Romney.

I'll wait.


You are trying to turn this thread into a poop slinging match. The story is what it is. Cry about it.

So, republicans will rally to support chick-fil-gay but they'd just as soon drive a small mom and pop pizza place out of business because he welcomed the President of the United States of America?

<--So sick of the partisan bullshit.

It got posted on reddit... the conservative downvotes were no match for the reddit upvotes by itself.

God bless reddit.

When I looked at the yelp reviews two or three hours ago there were tons of one star reviews.

They removed those and now there are a ton of five star fake reviews which are just as stupid. They need to freeze the listing and remove any review after the president's visit.

The bigger question is does anyone even care about yelp when going out to eat?

Other then that I wonder if the SS were busy eating some pizza to worry about a guy manhandling the president ( granted it was a photo op ). :p

I'm still looking for someone that's running a boycott of the place. Someone ? Anyone? You say he's "faces boycott" in your title. Where is it? Who's calling it?

Two things.

1: You don't know what hypocrisy is.
2: You don't know how to spell hypocrisy.

I am known for my bad spelling, just like the Democrats are known for thier blatent hatred of Republicans. You guys constantly refer to us as your enemies and some here even go so far as to wish harm on us. So when I see a Democrat refer to the Republicans as hate machines, I think I can spot hypocrisy.

List some of my political positions that would define me as a Democrat.

This is why real Americans must do everything in their power to rid the Republican scurge out of the country.
