Not just a boycott. Wing nuts from all over the country, who have never been anywhere near Ft. Pierce, are posting lies about the poor quality of the guys shop, even claiming he has a "rat problem".

By the way, the owner is a registered Republican.

Maybe he needs to get on the radio news like the papa murphy pizza guy and cry like a baby how PPACA would cost him 8 cents a pizza to provide this basic health care to his employees.

Finally a republican who delivers! The secret service must've been biting their nails over that one.

As to the comments from the far right? It's par for the course, as Adelsohn and the Kochie brothers have hired every pasty faced, adolescent, misogynist punk with a keyboard to spew invective laced lies from their PAC and nonprofit funded virtual boiler rooms. We have one or two right here, occasionally.

Yes, I've noticed.

What were you expecting from a bunch of hate filled asshats who think the guy is out to "destroy America"?

First, I don't think we are the Chic-fil-A crowd. Most on the Left disapproved of that campaign.

Second, there's a huge difference between expressing your support for a politician in a humorous, positive and personal way and expressing your hatred of an entire group of people in a very public manner.

Third, spreading lies about a man's business in an effort to destroy his business because you disagree with the person he plans to vote for is nothing like publicly objecting to someone's publicly expressed bigotry.

Fourth, trying to destroy someone's business with lies is nothing like calling for a boycott.
