ADAMS CENTER, N.Y. -- "I'm not going to stop what I believe," Iron Block Harley Davidson Owner Erik Dunk said.
Wednesday, the electronic sign out in front of the Iron Block Harley Davidson in Adams Center read this: "Obama are you kidding? We're not Muslim. You are not Christian."

A Harley Davidson spokesman says franchise contracts have provisions aimed to prevent dealers from displaying religious or political messages on anything brand associated. He says Harley has a diverse group of customers and takes their values very seriously.Ain't corporate America great!! Gosh, I aspire to become a spineless bean counter bureaucrat at MegaCorp when I grow up!

On Wednesday, Dunk told us he had no intention of removing the message. But a call later in the day from Harley Davidson’s main office about the franchise agreement changed that.
Were they really worried about offending potential HD owners?

Seriously. If anything, that common sense would get them in the stores.

Did the Brown Shirts lean on Harley Davidson?
It is Obozo’s style to do something like that.
Your self-appointed God does not like to be mocked.
But I love to see it shown how really dumb and vile he is.

I wouldn’t particularly think Harley Davidson owners to be supporters of Obama.

Time to Dump Harley Davidson, they are no longer an American Tradition. They are already for sale everywhere for 1/2 price, this will further diminish their stagnant sales, with any luck they will shut down in a couple years. Hard to believe they would do this.

Many Freepers would be suprised to learn that there are a lot more conservative people in New York State, especially upstate.

It’s about 50/50. Owning a Harley doesn’t presuppose any politics whatsoever.

Harley will always be an American tradition and this changes nothing.

I have to admit that I was more than a little heartbroken. I’m sure IBHD owner was as well. HST, the last thing I want to see is HD shut down. But if you’re not part of the solution. . .
Sad day.

I actually think it does, I doubt you will find many Harley Riders who Support Obama, kinda like country music and nascar fans. They are generally opposed to Government Intrusion and Political Correctness.
