NBC Online Store Offers 29 Pro-Obama Items
NewsBusters.org ^ | August 21, 2009 | Tim Graham

Posted on 08/25/2009 5:54:55 AM PDT by ETL

Maxim Lott at Foxnews.com reported Monday that NBC Universal isn't just showing its love for Obama on the news airwaves:

If you're a fan of all things Obama, NBC Universal's online store has no fewer than 29 options for your buying pleasure -- from a shirt with the president's picture proclaiming "YES WE DID"...to both of his books...to a special inauguration DVD...to a refrigerator magnet of the first couple.

And don't forget the Barack Obama Action Figure -- yours for $15, plus tax.

You can buy them online -- or at NBC Universal's retail store in New York.

The items are promoted with pro-Obama lingo:

"Bring reform to your refrigerator. Or at least keep company with the President while you're at work, with the Barack Obama Magnet," one item description reads.

"From Yes We Can to Yes We Did! Celebrate Barack Obama's historic victory with the new 'Yes We Did' Unisex T-Shirt," reads another.

Lott reported what might seem obvious: there’s no Bush merchandise, and "NBC did not say whether it ever sold Bush items after his victory in 2000." Lott noted NBC is unique, that the CBS and ABC online stores sell books about the president, but no merchandise. Fox and CNN do not sell books or merchandise.

Reprehensible and beyond disgusting. Reminds me of the statues of Saddam Hussein when we entered Baghdad or all the monuments to Hitler in Germany. There is something vile and disturbingly sick going on.

So? It was last posted 4 days ago. ie, not even close to a duplicate, which is reposting an identical article within a *4 hour* period.
