Mall: Letter was a mistake

I go through Frederick, Maryland everyday, and it is thoroughly infested with illegal aliens. You can walk into the local Walmart there and not hear a word of English the entire time you are there.
Any mall with a Spencers’ gifts has absolutely no room to complain about what other stores sell.
Absolutely.
R. Scott Petrie, vice president of retail management, called Kehoe and “delivered a sincere apology for what happened,” Kehoe said. “He said the letter didn’t follow their normal vetting process, and he thought I had every right in the world to sell the T-shirt.”
PREIT officials were not aware of the Sept. 2 letter until receiving Kehoe’s written response late last week, PREIT Vice President of Retail Marketing Judy Trias said.
“It’s not our company’s policy,” to censor what material is sold based on its political message, she said, “and this isn’t how we handle our business.”

In other words they caught hell for it!
He did well to go public.
That's exactly how my mom felt in 1977 as she watched me buy my Farrah Fawcett red swim suit poster ;-)
But if the same retailer had t-shirts with homosexuals “doing their perverted thing” - they would have been welcomed with open arms....
I was ready to buy a shirt like that... until the idiots of that state decided to vote for Juan Amnesty McCain....again.... Now - I really don’t care... the illegals can HAVE Arizona for all I care.
Don’t confuse the Frederick area with the rest of Maryland.
There is a reason some still refer to Frederick as “Fredneck.”
It is the land of great, conservative folks. Including all of Frederick Co. into Western Maryland.
“...remove the T-shirts from the shopping center, saying they constitute a nuisance or project an unwholesome image on the shopping center.”
And does this clown outfit of a mall have a Spencers gifts store?
‘cmon, didn’t every teenage boy have one? :-)
23 bucks for a t-shirt?

They have most or all styles in a $15 "value" shirt as well. Keep in mind also that all proceeds go the Arizona Legal Defense Fund, which funds the appeal of Judge Bolton's ruling against SB1070 first to the 9th Circuit and then ultimately to the Supreme Court.
We all hate McLame. However there is also a big picture. The appeal of the judge's ruling against SB1070 affects ALL states. These shirts don't benefit McCain campaign, they fund the judicial appeal. Also, illegals don't exactly stay in AZ, as you well know. It's a "gateway" state, which is why Obama is suing it, and not say Missouri, which has a similar law. If illegals flee MO or OK, they can always go to IL, or other sanctuaries. But if AZ keeps them out of the U.S., then the illegals will never be future Democrat voters.
That’s quite the comment from the land of Bill and Hillary Clinton...
But I still won’t support giving Arkansas to the Democrats, much less to illegals.
