You will not spend your money where you want!
You will support who we want you too!
We will hold you hostage untill you do (or at least your bank account)
we add this to :
We don't like the way the majority voted so we'll just ignore it..
How long before we see a new kristalnacht?

Ah, so Target should be free to express its collective corporate opinion but other groups should not, is that what you're saying?

Talk about a new Nazi

The manner in which people freely use the term "nazi" is disgusting. What does the content in your post have anything to do with whiping Jewish people off the face of the earth?

Indeed - there is absolutely nothing "nazi" about either Target doing what they want with their political contributions or people doing what they want with their shopping money.

I have no problem with any corporate entity supporting any candidate for any office ... but they shouldn't be surprised if some of their customers take their business elsewhere as a result.

What Target did was simply unresponsible to its shareholders. Either the current management of Target is too ignorant to realize what the reaction would be or they have violated their responsibility to their shareholders. Boycotting a business is a far cry from what the Nazis did to Jewish businesses and any comparsion is shameful and shows an ignorance of American and German history.

Seconded. Clearly, the OP needs to spend less time sitting in front of a computer screen, and more time reading history.

Much like the manner in which liberals freely throw out the term "racist". Touche.

The idea of big government is the absolute corruption and abuse of power and that is what liberals are all about controlling YOU as YOU don't know what is good for you, they do because they are superior to you, so bow down and serve them, that is what they think and would just love to see happen. The Liberals want to rid the planet of trucks and SUV's and you're freedom.

I think he's using the "nazi" reference to describe total and absolute corporate control over individuals.

You have it backwards. This is freedom of speech being exercised and it is a wonderful thing.

Nazis would not have allowed such freedom.
