Conservative kiosk not allowed at mall

Maybe they were trying to prevent a RIOT .

The difference between Obama and Bush is so vast it shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. Obama is juggling a lot of pins right now. Damn! Give him a chance.

I still believe its way too early for conservatives to be pulling the "he lied" crap. The man has been in office for half a year, and has 3 and a half more to go.

He's got plenty of time to tackle issues talked about on the campaign trail, he just can't take them on all at once.

Weren't these the people complaining that liberals were anti-american for criticizing the President's unconstitutional abuses of power? -- That we were unpatriotic and should shut up and support the president?

I guess that only works when YOUR guy is in office.

I don't support Obama, but Christ sake, he's only been in office 6 months. His administration hasn't even DONE anything yet-- aside from continue with the previous administration's policies. Which you'd think these moonbats would be in support of...

Is it you see nothing illegal about it or do you see nothing wrong about it? Because I see a lot wrong with it. A whole lot.

i go to concord mills often and i passed by the booth. i will admit my views are slightly to the right but i see nothing wrong with a particular group demonstrating their ideas with a kiosk like this. the kiosk was not violating anyone else's rights. as for the owner of the mall, he has the ability to deny a space for any person or group in his mall.

I think you hit the nail right on the head RonenA.

On another note, is this guy under the impression remotely decent graphic design is a liberal thing cause he certainly has something against it.

Freedom of speech doesn't have anything to with who I allow to sell shit on my own property.
I've always thought of rights, especially freedom of speech, as protection from GOVERNMENT oppression. If *the people* tell you to shut up, especially on their own property, you shut up.

Greg Todd - Every politician makes promises while they are campaigning that they may not be able to fulfill either partly or completely after getting into office. One reason is that once in office they are privy to information they didn't have as a candidate and a situation may be more complicated or more dire than they thought it to be. This is especially true of a President. Another reason is in the heat and excitement of the campaign it is tempting to exaggerate and over state one;s abilitys in order to get votes. And finally,once he gets into office he has to deal with the resistance and in Obama's case the savagery of the opposing party. Obama is working hard to fulfill what promises he can and it will take time. By calling for his downfall as you and people like Rush Limbaugh are doing you are injecting an eliminate of extremism into what other's want to be a rational and decent national debate. Your type of behavior is part of what's wrong in our country today. Though you think you are, you are not being a patriot.

It was all said and done to Bush a hundred times worse. Payback is a Bitch.

However, I'm sick and tired that because Obama is half black it is now all of the sudden considered racism.

Don't insult those who have actually experienced racism by calling the very same slogans used on Bush all of the sudden racist because the current President happens to be half black.

To criticize Barack these days you need to expressly state that you are only criticizing the fifty percent of him that is white!

A sad fact in our society today.

Oh HELL no! If they can complain they are offended by window dressings in Victoria's Secret, books on display at Borders, and Spencers, then we can certainly bitch about this shit. None of the above is remotely offensive but his free trash certainly is.

Some of those bumper stickers are just rip offs of Bush bumper stickers.

"Impeach Bush"

"Bush Lied, People Died"

"Bush Sucks"

"Buck Fush"

if I spelled it wrong? Then, why..... do they pronounce it O= bom=a. They dont pronounce the Muzlum name O=bam=a.

Impeach now and save America!!!!!!!

how's this for free speech....."I don't fuck sheep often, but when I do....I drink Budweiser."

Ugh, these bumper sticks represent everything that disgusts me about the contemporary conservative mentality.

Of course, many of these people aren't even actually ideologically "conservative". My dad considered himself a lifelong Democrat until, for "some reason", he postulated that Obama is probably the Antichrist.

*sigh*

I can't stomach these people. You can go on about "free speech" all you want, but I wouldn't mind if everyone who participated in the designing of these obnoxious bumper stickers was damned to burn in hellfire for all of eternity.

"IMPEACHMENT IS THE ANSWER.

oboma LIED to the idiots that voted for him.

What a joke.

If it was a liberal progressive selling anti-conservative crap all the conservatives who are whining now would be saying "the mall is private property," etc.

Love how any critism of Obama is automatically "racist" and "bigoted".

Even though this kiosk was disgusting full of shit, it sucks that they didn't get a chance to say what they wanted to say.

But the guy's right, it IS a private mall. A liberal, a centrist or anybody else could get kicked out for almost any reason.

Some are funny but some are outright tasteless. However, if there is a market and the person is willing to pay to let, then I don't see the problem.

However, I could understand the malls concern, especially in 'ghetto' areas, where they get these houligans that are likely to cause a ruckus over the kiosk. In that case, for the safety of the vendor, I agree with the mall. Lesson learned, AVOID THE GHETTO.

Though I believe that he has his freedom of speech and should be allowed to exercise that, he is on private property so he should abide by the person's rules and regulations.

I'm not sure if anybody remembers an article a long time ago on Current about a giant cross in someone's yard (or something similar). That person is allow to have a giant cross (and if I was correct it was also following the housing association regulations of measurements) because it is on their own private property. Even though it's obnoxious in my personal opinion.

The guy shouldn't be complaining. He can do that on his own private property.

When Dubya was president, the people who called for impeachment had many legitimate reasons.
I would have liked to see Bush impeached and I still would like to see him and other members of his administration brought to justice.
Now this is a new thing I've seen, the bumper stickers and whatnot calling for impeachment of Obama. I haven't seen it before today. I think its ridiculous; it can't hold water without an actual reason. If you want to impeach Obama, what is the charge? Don't answer that, it is a rhetorical question because we all know there hasn't been any crimes committed. You might not agree with the Obama Administration and what they say and do. You might not like the color of his skin or the way he was named, but that's not cause for impeachment.
And for the record, getting your dick sucked isn't a good cause, either. Looking at a girl's ass is not a good cause. Taking your immediate family members to Russia and Italy and everywhere else is also not a good cause for impeachment. Smoking is not a good cause. This all bullshit.

On one hand, he has the freedom of speech to piss and moan about whatever he wants. He has the freedom to sell those politically charged bumper stickers it he deems it necessary. He has the right to not like who is in charge.

On the other hand, the mall is a privately-owned venue and not exactly the place for controversial political propaganda. They have the right to remove people and products from their building. They have the right to take this man's kiosk.

He can sell his bumper stickers just as easily online, and I'm sure there will be people buying them.

As the lady said, if these haters have free speech to publicize their hate messages then others have the free speech to publicize their criticism of it.

Hey! What happen to freedom of speech? I don't Agree with the decals or the other B.S. that this represents. I do beleave In the right of free speech. let these Yahoo's scream at the top of there lungs what ever they want. I voted for Obama and stand behind that vote. He has been in office less than a year and I think things are Better. I see people going back to work well those that want to work are working......Where were these guys at when bush was Giveing away our money too his friends. screaming foul I think not. they had there hands out and there mouths closed.

I respect the right of the mall to maintain a politics free shopping area. And that shit is utterly obnoxious.

Freedom of speech is a null point, the man doesn't have to lease the area to him.

If a conservative mall owner did the same thing to an anti-GOP kiosk the media would be all over it like stink-on-shit.

The mall is privately owned and has the right to say who can and can't set up kiosks on their property.

Not so much a matter of free speech as it is a matter of mall policy.

What ya gonna do, eh?

While I don't agree with the slogans, I support their right to free speech. I realize that it is a privately owned mall, but this still feels wrong.
