1. I guess they got the message, eh?

Don't mix business with politics. It's always a bad idea. Your customers come from all directions. Why piss any of them off.

4. Because Cheese!

Somebody on the top of that cooperative (capitalist socialism???) thought it was a good idea to reward the Rs because they can now sell a little more cheese to Canada.

They obviously didn't think things all the way through.

6. Butter. For me, it's butter.

Land O Lakes sells butter packaged in half sticks. Same price as the full-length sticks. I like that. I buy that. In fact, it's on my grocery list for today's trip to the supermarket. It's also a local company in my adopted state. I was pissed. So were a helluva lot of people. I let them know. So did many others. Apparently the company got our messages. Businesses that get openly involved in politics or religion are just plain stupid. It's a terrible idea.

That's good.

7. I'm With Ya!

It is stupid and if one can't resist stupid, accept the consequences of that stupidity!

8. the message the got was boycott

King has been spewing his crap forever and suddenly someone at Land O' Lakes says " Hey guys, did you know Steve King is a Nazi?.. wow ..no more funding his campaign".
the threat of a boycott and a negative bottom scared them more than their guy a anti-Semitic/black/hispanic/muslim alt-right pig...shock
