Online retailer peddles Obama death-threat t-shirts

[DearAbby]

An online retailer that allows buyers to customize the products they buy is selling t-shirts and bumper stickers with racist comments and thinly-veiled death threats against President Barack Obama.

Zazzle.com, a ten-year-old online retailer linked to the Disney corporation and funded by some of Google's early major investors, allows customers to create their own images on t-shirts, bumper stickers and other products. Now some of those customers have put on sale a variety of products displaying hostility towards the US's first black president.

"Send Barack Obama hunting with Cheney," reads a t-shirt that features bullet holes around the words.

8. and speaks volumes about Zazzle.

I ordered buttons from them during the GE. The service and prices were great and the products were exactly the way I wanted them but, I won't be ordering from them again until they make some changes to their policies.
