I did. In fact, we called it up.
The mall administration clearly will not be winning any public relations awards anytime soon. This area of the country is HEAVILY conservative Republican. Johnson City is a college town so it may have a few more liberals or hippies around.
Anyway, the mall adminstrator interviewed on the local tv news said they approached Fuchs and told him TO SELL MORE PRO-OBAMA MERCHANDISE or face eviction. They actually tried to blackmail him into selling stuff that he didn’t want to sell. Do it, or else.
I don’t dispute that the mall has to have some control over the products its vendors sell, but to try to force a vendor to sell a product he doesn’t want to sell is totally un American. It is fascism.
