Oh, the hypocrisy!

LOL!

I'm not seeing any hypocrisy. Can you point it out?

Restaurant owner is a moron. However, morons have a right to be morons, and the owner is within his rights to refuse service to someone. (..... unless of course that someone is part of a liberal-approved group, that's different!).

Bottom line, restaurant is within their rights, and anyone is isn't an idiot should vote with their wallet and simply avoid that restaurant. Spread the word to other potential patrons to avoid the place etc.

Yep! People have a right to exclude people from their business for having shitty opinions. They don't have a right to be immune from consequences for that though.

We obviously disagree on what exactly the "shitty opinions" are, but I agree there are potentially consequences to those actions. That's another good reason for businesses to stay out of politics, there's very little upside. A paying customer is a paying customer. If that customer is disruptive or otherwise causes problems, then sure, boot them out... but turning away paying customers because of their opinions or beliefs seems like a losing business proposition.

All fine and dandy as I get the difference. Just make sure that (hypothetically) if this happens to a Hillary supporter you keep singing the same tune.

Why are some conservatives so stupid with their inane false equivalence posts? I don't even think YOU are this stupid, you are just trolling. Businesses have EVERY right to refuse service to any democrat, republican, libertarian they choose. They are not protected classes. But as mentioned, you already know this Riprorin.

Get your head out of your ass...

I think that's a very fair point. What is acceptable for one, should be acceptable for all. I back that fully. And yea, comparing Civil Rights issues vs political affiliation is laughable at best

In the Latino community, support for Trump is seen as support for bigotry against them, rightfully so. The woman might as well have been wearing Klan regalia.

Be careful what you believe in. It might not be what you think it is.

Are you suggesting conservatives don't approve of blacks being included in groups businesses must serve?

Not surprising that some of the usual suspects are carrying on in the same fashion as the troll op who shat this disingenuous bullshit of a post out and ran from. Still pretending that if a Hillary supporter were treated the same way things would be different. Again, your political affiliation is not protected. Same as the tow truck driver who didn't want to tow the car with the Sander's sticker. Just be prepared for the consequences of your actions or inactions...

Depends on the opinion. Seems like you'd be OK with not allowing them to exclude that same person wearing a Trump t-shirt if they were asking for a cake for their same-sex marriage.

Didnt see you in the the tow truck thread ripping guys on your side.

I'm saying everyone on the left is fine with excluding those who don't belong to some lib approved group (like someone wearing a Trump shirt), but if someone with a "BLM" shirt had been denied service you'd better believe the libs would be all over it and the lib media would be first in line to create a firestorm. The typical double standard.

Does anyone else see the irony of a Trump supporter eating at a Mexican restaurant?

Nothing to add, --- really.

Odd that the most vocal Trumpist I know is a second generation Mexican immigrant living in California and the only urban district that historically votes conservative is Little Havana.

This is rich when Hillary is a .01% warhawk interventionist and corporatist bankster sellout.

Wait this thread is about Hillary?

 

[blankslate]

I can only support this if the sign said

No Shirt
No Shoes
No Brain
No Service

If the sign didn't say that then that the restaurant was wrong......

To you, no.

What the hell is wrong with saying "be careful what you believe in"? Is it wrong to constantly re-examine your beliefs when new evidence comes along? Is it wrong to want to make sure you don't believe lies or falsehoods? Is it wrong to make sure the person you are supporting doesn't make you look like a fucking idiot? It's becoming pretty universal that if you have a Trump sign on your lawn you are a retard, and not just in the eyes of Democrats. Half the GOP thinks you're retarded, too.

 

[FerrelGeek]

If you were referring to my post, I wasn't pretending anything. Read Sheik's (very well stated) reply to my post. He gets it. And yes, I agree with the last part of your post, but I am no usual suspect.

Hillary is slightly more warhawkish than Obama and drammatically less warhawkish than any GOP candidate excluding maybe Rand Paul. So if your goal is to keep the country off the war path as much as possible, you should be voting for Hillary in November.

There is also no conclusive evidence that Hillary is a corporatist bankster sellout, but even if there was, the GOP panders to that sector harder anyway, so if your goal is to limit corporate and bankster influence on government, you should be voting for Hillary in November.

First of all, I'm not a Trump supporter

Second of all, you're a mindless authoritarian jackhat for believing in the power of peer pressure.

You're giving him too much credit for intelligence, you gotta hit him over the head with a brick for him to get it. He probably doesn't even remember how much he screamed about it when Ari Fleischer said the exact same damn thing and he thought it was Un-American. Oh the cows the left had when he said "all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do."

 

[FerrelGeek]

The problem here is that you're dancing a fine line between the potential 'political' message of the t-shirt and established racial discrimination laws.
