Michael's Italian Beef Hosts Neo-Fascist Tea Party

Just thought folks should know what this local business is up to.
Not only was last week's Tea Party in their parking lot, workers were wearing tea party buttons, and the shop was full of flyers announcing the event.

I don't like spending my money at businesses with shitty politics, so...

Everyone has the right to organize, right? Just as you have the right to boycott. Enough said.

Do you not think the teabagger movement is dangerous? Or are you one of those "free speech for nazis" types? Me, I like to know about local businesses' politics, and spend my money at places that aren't going to turn around and give it to my enemies to organize against me. If you like the tea party assholes and Italian sausages, looks like this place is perfect for you

'nuff said (whatever that means)

dangerous? come on 04.Nov.2009 23:36

"Do you not think the teabagger movement is dangerous?" No. Anything that wakes people up--left or right--to how criminal is the state in which they live is good.

Even if it has fascist tendencies and appeals to people's racism? Guess I gotta disagree...
