Donald Trump, you're fired. That's the phrase that over 460,000 participants in an online petition hope to hear after demanding Macy's fire The Apprentice boss as a celebrity spokesman.
According to Eonline, Trump's been the acknowledged face of what many consider the racially charged birther conspiracy, a crackpot outfit that refuses to see Barack Obama as a legitimate president because, they say, he faked his birth certificate to claim he was born in the United States.
Birthers are generally scored by the voting public so it's no surprise to see the shopping public looking askance at Macy's for reportedly endorsing its most prominent spokesman.
Trump’s recent Twitter rant on election night calling for revolution after the president's victory was embarrassing enough, but now Trump is facing a rebellion he didn't call for.
Macy's carries Trump's brand of clothing and fragrance, and features his face in many of their ads touting the magic of Macy's.
'Donald Trump does not reflect the 'magic of Macy's,' reads the petition via SignOn.org, the progressive nonprofit online campaign arm of MoveOn.org.
'We urge you to sever ties with him. Macy's says it has a strong obligation to be 'socially responsible' and that 'actions speak louder than words.' Indeed. It's time to act.'

It is called voting with your wallet. If you do not want to buy Trump's line of foreign (China) made clothing, look for a Made in America label. (Do you REALLY want to look like the Donald?) If you do not like Macy's association with Donald, stop shopping there. They will get the hint!

So, over 460,000 people have joined a lynch mob. The Donald says something outrageous or unpopular and all of these Liberal" folk want to punish anyone associated with him. Sounds like a working definition of fascism. Yes, people can be fascist and evil and cruel regardless of race, creed or national origin (e.g. Idi Amin, Pol Pot and various former English governors of Ireland). Obama has used the BIrthers llike a magician uses flash powder--to distract the rubes if they start looking at how they're being tricked.

What other idiot can we ridicule, besides Rush, O'Reilly, Boehner or McConnell??? We need these idiots to realize that America is a place for even these types.
