Herb,

You either need to put on your reading specs or get a bigger monitor.  The 
first site is touting:

        "Sarah Palin - Real Mom making Real Decisions"

As far as the "NOBAMA ..." goes, I tend to think that it is in bad taste, 
but I hesitate to place restrictions on "freedom of speech" - I think that 
is called censure.  Who are the people that "let 'freedom of speech' go too 
far?"

Why couldn't you purchase from a company that permits people to display bad 
taste?  I would think that there are very few companies that you can 
purchase from in the world today, if this is your yardstick for doing 
business.  Can you purchase from Wal-Mart?  They will place most anything 
that sells on their shelves.

What would happen if your employer had made such a remark?  Would you resign 
your position?  If your family member purchased such a bumper sticker?  I 
understand that neither you nor I would not display such a sticker, but I 
think that your ultimate position is extreme.
