KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (The Blaze/AP) — The University of Tennessee bookstore has quit selling packages of breath mints that satirize President Barack Obama after a state legislator complained
The box bears a picture of Obama and is labeled “disappoint-mints.” Officials pulled the product after Democratic state Rep. Joe Armstrong visited the bookstore and told the manager he found the mints offensive.
Armstrong told The Knoxville News Sentinel that UT uses federal and state funds and should be sensitive to what he called “politically specific products.”
The Knoxville legislator says he went to the bookstore after a UT student complained to him about the mints.
Bookstore director David Kent said the bookstore previously carried mints that satirized former President George W. Bush and said no offense was intended.

Like Retiremints, Juvenile Delinqmints, Atonemints,
Sin-O-Mints, CommieMints, Anti-Establishmints, Din Din Fuk Chow Ramen, and Smaller Penis Gum for your best buddy.

He should have said it was to make “A-Point-mints” (bad, I know)
Ah, another politician who thinks being offended is against the law.
Rats get real Pissy when their little paperless toy PET is involved,in fact too this very day they start howling when Palins name is mentioned after her great speech at the convention ,burned their little azzes!

As we take another step closer to North Korea.
Seriously (to the state legislator who complained)? These sorts of mildly critical presidential novelties are ROUTINE in ANY bookstore, including state-financed student bookstores. I remember seeing little humor books like BUSHISMS and similar items ragging on Dan Quayle ALL THE TIME in such bookstores in the past. Cowboy up, Priscilla.
Which, apparently, "Democratic (sic) state Rep. Joe Armstrong" did NOT find offensive.
That one needs Biden’s face on it and a guy in a wheelchair on one side and a cracked skull on the other.
I can’t believe that they pulled them from a few complaints. I would not buy them because it is just weird but can we please go back to a capitalistic society please. Can we just have folks who want to buy these to do so and those that don’t won’t.
No problem. Not being a thread Nazi - just thought folks might be interested in the earlier discussion.
Tell the Dem to shop elsewhere!
He’s NOT the law and his approval is NOT required.
As if practically every college campus in the United States ISN’T already jammed to the gills with Marxists and liberals
The thing that annoys me about liberals is that they’re such a bunch of humorless, butt hurt crybabies...
We have a local chain store here in New England called “Newbury Comics.”
It sells videos, some CDs, posters, t-shirts, caps, buttons, black lights and general stuff to appeal to teen-agers and twenty somethings.
When GWB was in the White House, the store had racks and shelves of paraphernalia ragging on Bush. When Obama won the election in 2008, there were figurines of him and Michelle.
But funny, now there are absolutely no buttons, t-shirts, bumper stickers or any other thing sporting negative comments about Obama.
I remember going into “Urban Outfitters” about 4 years ago and seeing an entire display dedicated to Bush bashing. I complained and got a look from the a$$wipe like I had a 10 lb goiter on my face. Display was still there weeks later.
