Title: NASCAR Truck series title sponsor inserts company into political fray
Post by: 35mmracer on August 21, 2017, 05:03:49 PM
Another example of the problems caused by the Facebook and Twitter mentality.  Just because there is such a thing as free speech doesn't mean you have to open your mouth and voice your personal opinion on anything and everything that pops into your head.  With the country seemingly split 50/50 between left and right, in situations like this there is a good chance you'll tick off potentially half of your customers. 

Especially when this isn't a case of "I just happen to have to opinion" to one of "if you didn't think like I do, don't bother shopping at my stores!"

Did they teach that in business school?  Way to go, Camping World.

(FYI, I'd think this would be just as poor a decision if a CEO told Obama supporters to take a hike as well.)

Mark Martin had recently ordered a new motor coach from Camping World.  Martin cancelled the order over the weekend.  Mark Martin also made the comment that "all people no matter their political position are welcome at all his car dealerships".

Not a Trump fan...never was but I don't for one second think he's a Nazi loving racist war mongering right wing kookburger.

I wish he'd just STFU and stay off Twitter and just do his job.

btw he was right about both sides in Charlottesville. He just sux at speaking about things like that,

I did not vote for Trump nor Clinton, I exercised my right and voted for myself and as I looked at my ballot I said to myself "this is just wrong." 

Once Trump was elected I was glad for my country as he offers hope to those who have none or lost it.  I have mixed feelings about his Presidency.  Some suggest he is mentally ill and at times I tend to believe so.  I question the extreme views of Bannon and the major role he serves as an advisor.

 Kellyanne Conway whom I consider brilliant said this on 1/2  http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/03/politics/conway-bowling-green/index.html. (http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/03/politics/conway-bowling-green/index.html.)  Cant we have more responsible people?

CNN and other major news sources have failed to include the term "Temporary" when discussing the "Immigration Ban".  This was pointed out by Glenn Beck in an interview with Anderson Cooper on 1/2.  I'm no fan of Beck's but isn't he correct?

 We are in a very different time nowadays.

Screw Camping World and liberal Lemonis. Hope he gets what he wants and deserves. Glad to see Redhorse and BK pulled out. Time for KB to pull out too. Leave the series to suffer and die. Too bad for the up and coming racers.

Since we have a 1st amendment, Marcus Lemonis is able to speak his mind (which he did)...............he is also able to deal with the potential loss of business, that doing so entails.

 Our President's characterization of Neo-Nazi's and White Supremacists as "very fine people" should not be overlooked.  It's troubling and wrong.

Mr. Way 2 lo,, Plse tell me where or when did the President say those words?  I would like to remind you that this country is based on FREEDOM,, that means you can say and believe many (crazy) things.... which I think you can understand. I doubt your life has had the benefits of military service or you outlook would be better.... He is the President and for that I respect him..........

 He is the President of our Country, he has an obligation to be responsible in words and deeds.  He is dividing our Country with his rhetoric.

Our President's characterization of Neo-Nazi's and White Supremacists as "very fine people" should not be overlooked.  It's troubling and wrong.

Said I was going to stay out of the political talk here and I fully intend to stay that way.

This however is an out and out lie perpetuated by the Lying Liberal Press. They play a snippet of what Trump said over and over again until the ignorant sheep that want to believe he is a racist, believe the sheep ***** that the Lying Liberal Press dishes out.

What Trump was trying to say was that everyone that marched was not a Neo-Nazi or White Supremacist. There were "fine" people there that were protesting the removal of Confederate Statues and had every right to do so. He didn't articulate it very well, he does that a lot. And with the Lying Liberal Press willing to pick apart every word he utters, they think they have another "gotcha" moment. The same liberal press that gave Obama a pass on almost everything.....Stop the horse ***** and open your eyes.

He denounced the Neo-Nazi's and White Supermacists what, 6-8-10 times? He was even asked by a Lying Liberal reporter at that Press Conference if he was trying to set a "moral equivilancy" and of course he said no, it had nothing to do with that, but of course the Lying Liberal Press ran with it ad nauseum....

He also correctly pointed out that there were plenty of people there on BOTH sides that were there to be violent. A TRUTH that the left and their accomplices in the MSM is unwilling to admit to.....An inconvenient TRUTH.

Also the narrative that Trump is enabling the Neo-Nazi's and White Supremacists. Did you ever stop and think that after a year and a half of the racists BLM and antifa running wild across the country that sooner or later it was going to drag this scum out into the open. All of this enabled by the Lying Liberal Press.

Just as a disclaimer to all the ***** who might decide that I am endorsing the scum that is the "alt-right", nothing could be farther from the truth. I denounce them in the strongest terms possible.

What I am denouncing is the Lying Liberal Press, the Lying Liberal Democrats that push this narrative, and the ***** that buy into their *****. The Democratic Party is an embarressment to themselves and to this country. And Republican politicians aren't much better.

....Signed, A Proud American Patriot and Independent Voter.......

I don't believe Trump is a Nazi lover...He is the President and characterizing any of the Neo-Nazis and White Supremacist as "fine people" is irresponsible and wrong.  Measure it by the outcry it has brought.

 His competency is being called into question by many including members of his own Party.   We all err from time to time but we must hold him to the highest standards as leader of our Country.

 I'm calling bullshit on you Troyer....snippet or not he referred some of them as "very fine people"....Neo-Nazi's and White Supremacists aren't"very fine people"... none of them.  Those are the words he chose to use...Freudian slip perhaps?  He needs to be mindful of the words that come out of his mouth every minute of every day...but he can't he isn't capable.

Okay, absolutely the last time.

What Trump said was that there were people there for sole purpose of protesting the removal of Confederate Statues. Some of those people were NOT Neo-Nazi's or White Supremacists......Get it?

Now go ***** yourself......

"Measure it by the outcry it has brought."  Are you kidding me?
If Trump said his favorite ice cream flavor was vanilla half of the country would be shouting and/or protesting and/or vandalizing with a cry of "See, see, see, vanilla ice cream?  That figures!  This proves he's a white supremacist and I'll just bet he puts lily white cream in his coffee too!!!"

Thanks for keeping us so informed Way 2 Lo.  You're doing the country a great favor and IMHO you should have received more than one vote for President.
