Café Express faced death threats over Anti-Bush and Delay products

[CatWoman]

Talking to a source at Café Express, I was told that they received numerous death, bomb and even Anthrax threats if they didn’t pull off the anti-Delay T-shirt, and Kill Bush products.

"It was terrible. We try to provide a service, without being involved in the politics of things, but after receiving so many death threats...the products were pulled." Their policy was also considered.

Café Express recently updated their search engine, which makes it easier for people to search items. The Kill Bush products had been on their shelves for over a year,.."...but nobody ever bothered to look at them." I asked how many of these items they actually sold. " We sold about a hand full of the Bush gear." I said. "That’s all? " Yes." "What about the Anti-Delay T-shirts?" They were a new line, but again we didn’t sell more than a few"

While I’m no fan of the Bush gear; the Tom Delay shirts are harmless. The move was started by Drudge (head of the GOP talking points hierarchy) to try and take some heat off of Delay.

1. Man, conservatives are SO not reactionary.

I really should have firebombed whoever made those "I Don't Trust President Clinton or Her Husband" bumper stickers in the 90s. Oh wait. I'm not a FUCKING PSYCHOPATH.

6. You forgot this one:

"Impeach Hillary and her husband" that one used to get me.
These morans can dish it out, but can't take it.

2. Right wing terrorists

These guys are far more dangerous than the 'alien' terrorists.

3. First of all, it's Cafe PRESS, not Express.

And I've been a reseller for years. I've received some pretty amazing threats myself, and even a couple death threats, for my anti-Bush stuff. I just turn the people over to their ISPs and they lose their internet access. The first death threat was kind of unnerving, but you get used to it, I guess.

4. Its starting to get really bad, I am very afraid of these people....

...our freedom of expression is being stolen by right-wing fascist redneck freaks who were probably mentally abused as childern.

5. Report the death threats

Something has to be done or Evangelicals will take to the streets to kill anyone not like them.
