I wasn’t aware of that, so maybe I’m wrong in making that particular comparison. But the greater point is, does a private business owner have the right to refuse service to anyone?
I see both sides, and I’m a big fan of SHS and am sorry this happened to her. But I also think there is a bigger point to be made here about freedom and limitations on same.
It seems to me that most everyone on FR has their dander up over this more than Mrs. Sanders herself seems to.
And the equipment needed to spike the punch!
Nice Yelp by Keith from Baton Rouge:
(ok it’s not Edgar Allan Poe, but better than I could do)
Not going to swallow the food you are serving
Of our business you are not deserving
Imagine the scene if the tables were turned
The other side would the building burn
The faux croc tears and outright whiny rage
Where was it when Obama put kids in a cage
Spoiled and rancid not talking about the eats
These little babies need to go back to mama’s teat
You only have to endure another 6 or so
Get used to it folks and enjoy the extra dough
You have tried it all lied and raged
Most of the crap you have obviously staged
We are enjoying our country and the progress being
made
Once we have the wall we’ll have it made in the shade
I don’t know how people are making reservations and then not showing up - the phone is not being answered.
Monday contact the Main Street organization 540-319-4181 to let them know bigotry is not acceptable.
The owner of the hate restaurant is reportedly the executive director of Main Street.
Patriots need to harass the patrons of this establishment until they are forced to close.

I don't know the significance, but another poster claims that she is also cousin to Maril(sp) Streep.
We should fill their streets with pissed off Trump supporters. The time for polite phone calls and emails is over.
You've seen them before, perhaps have been in them. Everyone has a vegan glutten-free muffin and a cup of free range sustainable latte made with organic soy milk. Mmmmmm! Their iPhone and MacBook are close at hand, along with the earbuds grooving on Music from the Hearts of Space.
Sit close enough, and you will smell the customers' patchouli cologne.
Twenty-one emails later... I feel good.
File a Complaint with the Left Va county Anti discrimination Office .
Its may have one .
Fine them !
I agree that the Red Hen management/ownership has the right to not serve SHS. Heck, I cheered the owner of a Louisville steakhouse who refused to serve O.J. Simpson when he and his entourage showed up the week of the Kentucky Derby.
With that said, turnabout is fair play. Im not saying a government entity should be involved here. But private citizens showing her the error of her ways is just fine.
She is a real nut job .
I somehow don’t think this one will “whine” (sic) it’s way to the supremes. Just a SWAG though.
Your comment resounds with me. Nice!
Yep, fully agree.
Freedom comes at a cost, part of which is having to live with the consequences of one’s actions. Time will tell whether this has an impact on the Red Hen’s business, but it should be decided by the free market, not by government intervention.
Lexington is the home of VMI and the burial place of Stonewall Jackson. Washington and Lee university (yes, that Lee) is also there. How it became a haven for liberals is beyond comprehension.
