UPDATE #4: Notice to Kos members: Seems Van Duzer's pizza parlor is being inudated with orders. LOL This is great, but they're swamped now. Literally. So they'd much rather you donate directly to The Van Duzer Foundation. Let's keep the love flowing, folks, in the form of donations. I want to blow these GOP thugs out of the water with their stupid boycott.

1. Is it safe to say that business is picking up?

[Cha]

25. Hehe..lol

[pacalo]

2. It couldn't have worked out better for such a great guy.

I just looked through the Kos diary & someone provided a video of his interview with Wolf Blitzer. Van Duzer is very impressive; upbeat & very likeable.

[loli phabay]

3. problem will be in 6 months, will the nutters still be boycotting and the storys gone

[Hissyspit]

4. I imagine most everyone will have forgotten about it and will just be looking for pizza.

[loli phabay]

5. i dont know hatred as an emotion can last a long time, i know people still boycotting stuff from 25y

ago and some people for longer. I hope for the guys business that it blows over and he can get back to pizza

[tomm2thumbs]

7. exactly, and Republican stomachs have always had more control over their brains than logic

ironic that their symbol is an elephant because one look at Romney as their candidate proves they EVER-Forget

[DonRedwood]

12. the Dem's will remember too and will buy his pizza forever

I know he'd have my business for my pizza chomping needs.

[loli phabay]

13. doubt it, as i said the hate lasts a lot longer and he will be forgotten about after the election

by all except the nutters.

[HangOnKids]

14. The hate last a lot longer?

You know this how? Is that how they do it in Nova?

[loli phabay]

15. no just look at boycotts in general, the people boycotting stuff keep it up a lot longer than those

not, look at artists who get boycotted even twenty years later people still hate them with a burning fire.

[loli phabay]

19. youve lost me with the tbmase????

[HangOnKids]

24. LOL

See ya loli-pop

[loli phabay]

29. i still dont get the acronym????

[DonRedwood]

20. And look at repeat customers. A restaurant values nothing more than repeat customers

And, I'll admit to buying a few Dominoes pizzas back in college even though I was supposed to be boycotting them. Boycotts are hard to to maintain but loyal repeat customers always return.

[Cha]

31. Of course! When Dems

and anyone sane have Pizza Chomping Needs they will remember Big Apple Pizza and Pasta!

I'm out here in Hawai'i and will never be getting to buy a Pie from Scott's place but I'm enjoying the heck outta this story!

[Bjorn Against]

18. His business will be booming for years to come

You have to remember this guy does not own a huge chain, he owns a small family business. He does not need, nor is he equipped to handle thousands of customers a day. If he can just sell a few hundred pizzas a day he will have a hugely successful business. His business is now world famous, if just .01% of the people who are paying attention now remember this guy that will be more than enough people to support a small business like his.

[DonRedwood]

23. I think he has three or four restaurants...when I did my post to order pizzas for homeless peeps

I saw that he has four or five restaurants in the surrounding cities.

Not nitpicking...just sharing the info I have.

[Bjorn Against]

33. I did not realize that, but that is still a relatively small business

He has more than enough supporters to fill up those restaurants every night, while he may not be in the national news much longer the locals will remember this story for years to come and I am sure there are more than enough Democrats in the area to sustain his business. I am sure many Republicans will continue to eat there as well, the truth is that just because the rabid right is really loud does not mean they represent the typical Republican. The typical Republican may be your Grandma or the guy you sit next to at work, they may consistently vote the wrong way but they are not organizing any boycotts and they rarely participate in them.

6. Boycotting his shop because he hugged the President? Seriously?

We're a nation that has gone completely insane - taken 'team red vs. team blue' way too fucking far.

[TroglodyteScholar]

8. There's literally a swamp in his pizza parlor?

So sad!

[HooptieWagon]

9. Probably several Gators, too. This is Florida.

[Hissyspit]

11. I guess maybe someone left the water running because they were so busy making the pizza.

Just to be clear, I didn't write that in the OP! It's from Daily Kos.

[TroglodyteScholar]

27. I know you didn't write it

Just funnin'

[Hissyspit]

35. I figured.

It more for other people's consideration.

[lpbk2713]

10. As usual, another sleazy rethug scheme backfires on them big time.

Got any more bright ideas geniuses?

[Cha]

32. That's funny..having mitt holding

that sign. He's such a twit.

[Blue Belle]

17. Fantastic!

This is awesome.

[DonCoquixote]

21. Hey debbie wasserman schulz

aka that lady from Florida aka weaksauce strategist, aka the GOP's best friend..

get your butt to this guy's place and order a slice.

[DonRedwood]

26. that was one heck of a well-executed convention.... no credit for her?

I've only seen her on the news but I've always liked her...but, don't know much about her aside from the soundbits.

[DonCoquixote]

36. She has a bad habit

of making friends with GOP, it is why the best hope to get rick scott out of office is to run former hardline GOP Charlie Crist.

[Cha]

22. What a fortuitous encounter for

Scott, PBO, and the people his Foundatioin is Helping!

[whistler162]

34. Done - donated to the foundation....
