Eliminationist gear at Cafe Press: "Impeach" Obama and Scott Roeder is a hero




The Eliminationists are having a nice time over at Cafe Press. Here's some of Mad Max Market's designs. The man who murdered Dr. Tiller, Scott Roeder is an American Hero now and Having a high powered rifle signaling the impeachment of Barack Obama holds a similar meaning for this nutcase.

I'm sure there are dozens of offensive stuff being sold on Cafe Press just like these. This is a pattern of behavior that's only going to escalate unfortunately for America and more violence is sure to follow.

1. I wonder if it breaks any of Cafe Press's rules
Never shopped with them before but won't after seeing this.

Disgusting.

2. Why hasn't Cafe Press been raided by the Secret Service, and those responsible arrested?
The 'impeach Obama' with a rifle is a clear threat to the life of the President -- it is NOT protected speech.

5. Cafe Press is a "mall" type situation.....
They have different individual "shops" with different vendors and designs from said vendors. For example, pro-Obama stuff can be found at:

http://shop.cafepress.com/obama

They show 112,000 Pro-Obama designs on 3,680,000 products and only 32,500 Anti-Obama designs available on 967,000 products. I think it's safe to say that the majority of Cafe Press clients don't believe in this kind of tripe.

The "Impeach" shirt may run afoul of their content guidelines though

"General Guidelines for Prohibited Content

* Content that may infringe on the rights of a third a party.
* Items that make inappropriate use of Nazi symbols and glamorize the actions of Hitler.
* Use of marks that signify hate towards another group of people.

* Content that exploits images or the likeness of minors.
* Obscene and vulgar comments and offensive remarks that harass, threaten, defame or abuse others such as F*** (Ethnic Group).

One can report it here:

Some of the other anti-Obama shirts are pretty stupid and/or offensive. For example:

Somewhere in Kenya or Indonesia, a village is missing their idiot
Christian "Fish" biting an Obama logo)
You are entering a no-Obama zone. Mention his name and I'll drop you where you stand
Jesus Christ is my Savior - So Sorry Obama is yours
Silly Democrat, Read the Constitution
Barack Hussein Obama - Enough Said
Change is also what Germany was looking for in 1932
Got AR-15?
USA - No Habla Espanol
Ignore The President - Listen to Rush - He's Right 98.8% of the Tim
Jindal / Palin '12

I suspect Cafe Press may start cracking the whip on the minority of right-wingers spewing shit like this. It doesn't seem to be the opinion of the majority of Cafe Press users though.

12. That was my first thought too.....
Absolute threat, as far as I can determine. Impeach is one thing. We called for the impeachment of the previous misadministration. But the rifle! Now that is downright scary!

3. I've gotten some good shirts at
cafe press but this stops right now. I'm not giving my money to a business that whips up this kind of merchandise.

8. It's not Cafe Press per se
It's the vendor using their services.

If you feel that the vendor is violating Cafe Press' terms, report that vendor.

Pro-Obama designs -112,000 designs on 3,680,000 products
Anti-Obama designs - 32,500 designs available on 967,000 products

Slight difference there......

4. Perhaps the US Secret Service should be notified
You don't impeach with a .50-caliber sniper rifle, last time I checked.

7. Oh, come on! The weapon is just a random design element.
You are clearly making this outrageous suggestion, not the innocent t-shirt designer.

:sarcasm:

It's extraordinary that they're selling the one with the rifle and the Scott Roeder t-shirts. There are other charming efforts in their 'Anti-Obama' section (http://shop.cafepress.com/anti-obama), but they beat all. When does freedom of speech become incitement to hatred/murder?

10. Well...
...that is disgusting and hateful.

As much as I support the freedom of speech, the first one comes very close to the edge of what the Secret Service will tolerate.

I wish that these assholes would DIAF....
