Was It Bullying When

Linda Bean has claimed that those calling for a boycott of L.L. Bean are attempting to bully her. Was it bullying when right wingers called for a boycott of Disney because Disney supported gay rights? Was it bullying when right wingers called for a boycott of Target because Target was okay with transgender people using the bathroom of their choice? Is it bullying when One Million Moms calls for a boycott when they learn of a TV show, or movie they do not like?

Someone needs to give Republicans a dictionary so they can look up and learn the definition of freedom. Republicans are always claiming they want more freedom and that they are the defenders of freedom. Well, freedom gives people to right to decide not to buy a product due to the behavior of the owner(s) and/or board of directors of that company. Yes, Linda Bean has the freedom to do give money to and support any political candidate. However, consumers then have the freedom to choose not to buy products that are associated with Linda Bean.

She can clutch one of her wool jackets they make for comfort and security.

I am just giving the Deplorables their own lexicon back.

go out and commit felonies? Is it bullying when they protest women's health care facilities and kill the doctors? Is it when they refuse to change the gun laws such an infinitesimal about some can save a few kids?

Is that okay with the LL Bean lady who is clutching her pearls with the vapors? Howsa 'bout it isn't legal for the PEEotus to endorse anyone after you become a president. But who cares right, it's okay if you are Repukes do it.
