Attacking the Tea Party

Not another company to add to my boycott list!  When will this end?  Well folks, this time the guilty party is Hallmark. The greeting card company isn't particularly fond of the Tea Party.  Why can't these retailers stay out of politics?

Read the latest from Gateway Pundit:


At Hallmark Graduation Is a Time to Attack the Tea Party



(WND)
Nice work, Hallmark! Greeting-card company attacks the Tea Party in latest graduation card.
Because being a fiscal conservative is a bad thing.
World Net Daily reported:
Hallmark, the greeting-card company that lays claim to making “the world a more caring place,” is under fire for producing a graduation card emblazoned with an image of Barack Obama that warns graduates to stay away from the tea party.
Now some are even calling for a boycott of the company, though Hallmark insists its line of political-humor cards is not meant to offend and pokes fun at both sides.
The card in question says on the front, “You graduated! Time to go to a lot of parties!”
And on the inside, “But avoid those tea parties if you can. Trust me.”
The 102-year old company carries this disclaimer on its website: “Never, ever do we intend to offend, be hurtful, or make social or political statements with our products.”
