Brady Campaign declares war on Starbucks; time for a cup of coffee

I love it when liberals eat their own. OTOH, a potential tip of the hat to Starbucks for not instantaneously caving to liberal orthodoxy and spitting in the eye of a big portion of their base.

You were saying ...

Gosh, I didn't know I was drinking "liberal coffee" all these years... LOL...

I wonder how many other conservatives have been doing the same thing... :-)

[Still Thinking]

Starbucks management (and presumably employees) is widely viewed as a hotbed of liberalism.

Besides, they're going to end up getting all the open-carry customers who had been going to Peets.

Gosh I am another one who didn’t know Starbucks was liberal. I thought it was just good tasting coffee. (goodness)

Apparently, the Brady Campaign enjoys these type of headlines.

Patronize Starbucks and show them your appreciation for standing up for open carry customers and let the store management know.

Brady-fan customers of Starbucks have as much right as any Starbucks customers to complain to Starbucks about things that offend them. But Starbucks is wise to see the Astroturfing here.

People who have a fear of firearms are welcome to go to a competing coffee shop and have a cup.

[Gilbo_3]

well, with the price of their coffee, they certainly cant afford to turn away customers...

[Keith Brown]

Isnt Starbucks still donating to anti gun groups?

Good thing I was never infected while drinking their coffee... :-)

By the way, do you know any good liberals I can get to clean my house and scrub my toilets, too? ... LOL ...

Check this thread The Way Starbucks Sees It

[LuvFreeRepublic]

I don't want to check out anything. To me and a lot of other people it is just a cup of coffee.

[Still Thinking]

Your call. If they really are the type that have contempt for my values and spit on my way of life as soon as I’m not standing there, I’d rather spend my coffee money elsewhere.

[Still Thinking]

OTOH, it’s not wise never to reevaluate; then there’s no opportunity or reason for people to change. As I mentioned, if they ARE doing the right thing here, I applaud them and would take that into consideration next time I want a cup of coffee.

[Star Traveler]

LOL... oh yeah... Starbucks writing things on the side of their cups that no one ever saw... I never saw them either... [and the trouble there is that if I had seen them, I could have even protested it myself... alas... just never saw them... :-) ...]

They obviously had a real successful campaign there... :-)

But, hey, if you like another brand of coffee, well, you can go for it, too... but I like the WiFi, the coffee, and they don’t try to boot you out of there no matter how long you want to stay with your laptop... it’s a great place... at least it has been for me...

[OrangeHoof]

PLEASE don’t make me side with the commielibs at Star*ucks! This is like having to support Whole Foods. Don’t make me do that again.

I guess a little capitalism is a dangerous thing even for liberal businesses.

[Still Thinking]

That was just the first thread I happened to stumble across, and yes, that particular issue isn’t the most damning in history, but if true it certainly gives a hint on the corporate mindset. I remember being in a number of threads over the years talking about stuff they were doing that was unreasonably liberal. Maybe it depends on the specific location. Like I said, it’s your call. If you like the place, by all means do business with them.

Starbucks is nothing worth getting all worked up about. We have very serious problems in this country and it is not because of Starbucks.
