More Santorum

Well, talking about fecal matter, here's another frothy Ricky Santorum story.

On the evening of August 10, Hannah Shaffer of Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, decided to go to the nearby Barnes & Noble outside of Wilmington. She wanted to see Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who was promoting his book, “It Takes a Family.”

The event was billed as a “book signing and discussion,” Shaffer says.

But discussion was the last thing that the Senator’s people wanted.

Shaffer, her friends, and two other young women were booted out of the store and threatened with imprisonment even before they had a chance to say a word to Santorum...

Read the story. What is it with some republicans, especially these christo-fascist politicians? See no questioners, hear no questions: nothing's wrong. Ahhh, the old head-in-the-Santorum tunnel way of thinking.

I'm actually surprised that Barnes and Noble management let this go on. I stopped shopping at Borders a couple of years ago after that shameful display in a Borders in Virginia where a musician was singing an anti-Beloved Leader ditty and was kicked out/silenced. Do I no longer shop at Barnes and Noble anymore either because their management is getting too cozy with the GOP and suppression of free speech too? Hope not.

My bookstore owner is close friends with Billary and Grisham. There's no need to shop online, good local stores contribute to the revenue.

Barnes & Noble gave 100 percent of their political contributions in 04 to Dems. So, I'd chalk this up to a lame local manager.

Someone needs to post the email address of Barnes and Noble management so to flood them with consumer dissatisfaction. This story is getting no media attention what-so-ever. What is wrong with people?
