Greeting cards with a political theme: does anyone beside me hide the anti-Dem ones at the store?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

Today I was shopping for birthday cards and came across one (from Recycled Paper Products, I think) that said on the front: "President Barack Obama" and has his picture below it. Inside it said something like "See? There is something scarier than having another birthday."

I wanted to toss the bunch of them on the floor and shout "cleanup on aisle five" but settled for flipping them backwards, hiding them but not damaging them. Less satisfying, but maybe it makes a better statement in the long run.

1. I never knew there was any such thing as political greeting cards

But I will cop to hiding all the O'Reilly and Ann Coulter books at Costco. I just put other books on top of the pile so they are not visible.

6. They have them at Target (both left and right political cards)

But I don't mess with their displays, as tempting as it may be to move the conservative books to the Fiction section.

2. No. It does nothing but make some employee's life a little more miserable.

3. No. Why? I probably might have at 14 or 15.

But not as an adult. Bigger issues to worry about.

4. I hide them behind cute ones with dogs

5. Kinda childish isn't it?

It's really uncalled for and just makes the employee's job that much harder.

Would you approve of someone hiding the anti-repub cards?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. Yup!

[GGJohn]

9. Yup what?

Childish or you would approve of someone hiding anti-repub cards?
Or yup, you like making an employee's job harder?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

11. "Yup," it's a bit childish.

And I approve of making non-destructive political statements, even ones that might take some employee an extra five seconds to correct while they're tidying up the rest of the cards.

[GGJohn]

12. Well, to each their own. eom.

[Laffy Kat]

7. I hate them too, and have had similar thoughts.

The thing is, I occasionally buy the anti-Republican ones to give to comrades.

13. Seems childiah and dumb

You are just creating more work for an employee.

[AngryAmish]

14. Clearly, in a free country, if a dissenting view is uttered it should be repressed

I fully support you.

[linuxman]

15. I can't imagine being that incredibly petty.

So no.

17. +1 n/t

16. Well I do something similar in bookstoress.

I cover books by people on the right with other books. I know it is childish but it makes me feel good.

[OnlyBernieBurnsBush]

18. Nope.

But I did cover a bunch of shitty pop albums with Iron Maiden albums at a music store display this one time
