In a marketing move that will shock no one, Amazon removed the Confederate flag after a howling mob of both liberals and brown-nosing conservatives demanded the “symbol of hate” be stricken from its shelves.
But these comrades can rest easy, knowing that they’ll have plenty of opportunities to stock up on Communist merchandise after their latest purge.

Pretty much sums up the Left's sensitivity in all of this, doesn't it?
Mark my words, Christian cross will be next.
Mob Rule..leftists are using the victims of the church shooting to go after a flag...because deep down they hate and cannot tolerate Conservatives, Southerners, Christians, Gun owners, etc etc.
And for those who don’t care about this flag...whatever you love is next..Star of David? American Flag? Harley Davidison Logo?
Hitler did this too.
What about Jihadi Flags?
You can still choose from a wide selection of Nazi memorabilia on Amazon.
Also continues to sell Nazi memorabilia.
Whoops, beat me by this much.
Great minds ...
And I bet it’s still perfectly OK at Harvard and other Ivy League campuses to wear t-shirts or decorate your dorm room or faculty office with posters depicting Mao or Lenin or Che or Soviet Russian or Chinese Communist flags. The sickness of their minds in all of this.
I have Amazon Prime so those flags are to be delivered to me by 8 pm tomorrow. However, when I click on the three flags (Not the Texas One), I get a blank page saying “Currently unavailable We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.”
So, not only did they dump the Confederate Flag, they almost dumped the other two flags.
Looking at my order, it says, “Preparing for Shipment”. They will have to move fast to get those four flags to me by 8 pm tomorrow. I'm not at all sure they will ship the three flags they no longer sell after I bought mine.
You see what is happening - not only the Confederate Flag is no longer available, neither are the other two flags.
I haven't clicked on clothing to see if shirts/shorts/caps with markings of the Confederate flag and the other two are also removed from Amazon. When I bought the three flags, there were listings of numerous companies selling the flags and all manner of clothing related to the three flags.
Every day we are losing another freedom and independence as a citizen of this country.
Anyone surprised? Most businesses have willingly bowed down to the great god of political correctness.
Do I agree with Amazon and Walmart on this? No. But I understand it. It’s capitolism 101. If it’s bad for business, get rid of it. People need to understand that Amazon and Walmart couldn’t care less about anyone’s “feelings” on the matter, they only care about whats best for business.

They will always ban and remove items offensive to sensitive emotional crybaby lefty nuts jobs because they are trouble making children. Mature Conservatives that believe in freedom and free market choices are not going to throw a fit (in great numbers) and demand businesses do and don't do whatever. I don't like allot of items Walmart sells but I can be a big boy and deal with it. Business know the majority of conservative mainstream America will be a big boy about it. We do not force a business to BAKE THAT CAKE!
The news media used a single act by a single individual to take away our freedom of speech. If people don’t see now that the media is the enemy and the problem I don’t know when they will
Problem is, it wasn't. I've seen reports that sales of these types of items increased 4,000% before Amazon banned them. Not sure how true it is. Amazon stays neutral, they lose some business. Amazon picks a side, they lose more, regardless of the side chosen. Michael Jordan knew better than that.
