Accepting that a property owner has a legal right to do something is not the same as supporting ownership rights. I disagree. It appears that what you have problems with is the Constitutional right to free speech. You have a legal right to buy the house next door to me and paint it orange with purple polka dots. I would then have the right criticize you and your paint choices without being opposed to property rights.
Here, Ford has a right to restrict parking in their lot, and I have a right to point out how stupid it is as a business decision, and to translate that disdain into a purchasing decision.

I have no problem with your Constitutional right to freely display your lack of support for owner's rights. Do you have a problem with being labeled as such as a consequence to what you express?
