Petition to Amazon: Remove Che Guevara
change.org ^ | 7/2/2015 | Rob H.

Posted on 07/02/2015 2:46:14 PM PDT by mrdarklight

Hi folks,

Owing to the recent removal of Confederate flags on Amazon, I decided to call them on it. I created a petition on change.org to call for them to remove all material related to Che Guevara, the Cuban Communist activist/terrorist.

I personally don't care for the Confederate flag, but as a conservative, I don't think it's my place to decide what people fly in their yards, or wherever they want. That's not the American way. So if we are going to ban the Confederate flag, we should ban works that are far more destructive, like T-shirts and posters glorifying Che Guevara, who advocated genocide and participated in political murder. I hope you can help me get this off the ground, and sign the petition in the link. Thanks everybody.

“The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations.”

~ Che (master of College campus T-shirts)

Not mention predators and rapists and their enablers...the Clintons, say.

I like the commie revolutionary being a kitsch merchandise item. It’s funny.

Not holding my breath.

How about removing the rainbow flag? And the ISIS flag? And the “African” flag? All are symbols of hate.

I don't care what they sell, I do not care to act like liberal democrats and demand they stop selling things that are offensive to me.

Amazon and other companies will not care if conservatives make demands to take down offensive material because they expect conservatives to be the adults in the room. Let the kooks demand that companies bend to their will.

Just my humble opinion. I know many will disagree.

Never happen. Che is the patron saint of useful idiots.

Great idea. We have to start flexing our muscles and attack leftist sacred cows. Whenever and wherever we find them.

Whether Amazon sells battle flags or not is irrelevant to me in this online world.
They are not the only vendors out there.  Last week, I bought my protest Confederate battle flag in the form of a shower curtain from Cooter's Place, he of the Dukes of Hazzard fame.

I'm glad I bought early, because there seems to be a tsunami of like-minded folks. 

For Customers: 1st of all, Thank All of You for your orders. Please forgive us for the delay, but we have been overwhelmed with online orders and have hired extra staff in order to meet the demand.  Everyone placing orders can expect a 10 to 14 day delay on their orders.  We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but assure you that your order has been received and is being processed.

 Get your stuff from Cooter and support D of H at the same time.

Agreed. Companies should be free to sell that which they desire. Instead of a petition we can always vote with our pocketbooks.

Being adults has lost us the cultural war for the last 50 years. When the cultural war is over, the real war starts. I will fight against the Marxist takeover of my country by any means at my disposal. It is time to be less tolerant of evil.

See? soetoro HAS created jobs! Just as guns and ammo sales have skyrocketed since he was immaculated.

We’ve got to get off our comfy couches and take back our culture.
Every little bit helps.

Thanks for creating this petition.

I signed it and posted it on my personal FB page and on our Tea Party’s FB page.

Remove Obama, too. He’s a revolutionary communist.
