Sunday, about 100 people rallied in front of the mall to support Spivack and his right to free speech.

He opened his Free Market Warrior kiosk last spring, selling such items as “Impeach Obama” bumper stickers and baby bibs that say, “My parents chose life. Thanks Mom and Dad!”

Spivack said he's found other stores in the mall selling T shirts and other merchandise with offensive slogans and feels he's being targeted “purely for politic reasons.”

They will drive a small businessman out of business. Thugs from the Chicago boy king’s possee.

I’m pleased they got a noticeable turnout. I got an email from the county GOP about it, but we go to church Sunday afternoons.

Great! More screaming and hollering from the most “tolerant” people on Earth right?

What do these people not understand about 1st Amendment right?

I don't know if he had this bumpersticker or not, but this is a favorite of mine.

So true:

From what I understand watching the interview with the guy, there was only ONE complaint. Everyone else supports him...

Thanks................but it looks like their server just went down. The news of this incident at the Mall is one of the headlines on Drudge. Apparently the owner of the Conservative Shop is engaged in Lease discussions and not sure if he can stay in business............

Please note, the ‘Concord Mills’ shopping center is owned by Simon Properties, who own or run outlet stores around the country. According to the Charlotte Observer, conservatives are planning to boycott Concord Mills if this shop owner is, as expected, thrown out of the place.

We can do better! Boycott Simon Properties nationwide. Go to http://www.simon.com to find the list of properties near you. Let’s see if the nObama “stimulus” will bail them out.

other merchandise with offensive slogans

I'm curious as to what the "offensive slogans" were.

Big Obama supporters. These are the same people who kicked the Atlanta TEA Party out of its July 4th venue.

Disgusting service:

This place has gotta find a more business like way to handle web traffic.

Buyer beware.

He has no right of free speech at this mall. It is private property. The mall owners may do what they like.

Case closed.
