Amazon Boots Parler for Users’ ‘Violent’ Language, but Hosts Merchant Selling ‘Kill All Republicans’ Shirt
Breitbart ^ | January 16 2021 | ALANA MASTRANGELO

Posted on 01/16/2021 1:42:54 PM PST by knighthawk

Amazon has terminated its hosting contract with Parler, claiming that language users posted to the social media platform might “incite violence.” The tech giant, however, hosts merchants on its own website selling products that many would say could incite violence, such as a t-shirt reading, “Kill All Republicans,” and a mug that reads, “Where is Lee Harvey Oswald now that we really need him?”

The Media Research Center has found at least 204 examples of products sold on Amazon that promote violence, many of which target President Donald Trump, Republicans, and law enforcement.

One product, sold by the vendor Florence & Partner, is a black t-shirt, which reads, “Kill All Republicans.”

Amazon is colossally stupid.

I hope our president starts up a new company that delivers faster and better than Amazon. And one that accepts all people.

Oh, and by the way, a delivery service that has a great health care plan. In her 20s, my sister worked for UPS and destroyed her back. Still hurts today.

There's a fine line between Violent Language and Free Speech.

It looks like this....

Double standards...because if it weren’t for them, Leftists wouldn’t have any standards at all.

I don’t know if it was removed or not, but I checked all 25 pages of t-shirts sold by Florence & Partner on Amazon.com because I wanted to post it on Facebook for some liberals I know. But I could not find any t-shirt that had any such message.

There were plenty of other vulgar and offensive t-shirts, but I did not see anything that would be considered to be inciting violence.

Just sayin’.

They already have from me. I now ALWAYS go first to the company I want to purchase from as opposed to first going to Amazon to have them sell it to me. I quit using any Amazon credit cards. I quit using their streaming services when I can purchase or get it elsewhere. No more shopping at Whole Foods. Anywhere they are involved. I’m walking away and either go elsewhere or just say no.
