      Never even heard about it. Planned Parenthood has made more than $3.50 off of abortions.

        ...which is why I asked where you got the information that these were death threats.
        Ah, yes, they were nice gentle kind threats, I'm sure.

          Why would they have to have a history of such a thing? Having some far right folks suddenly blindsiding you is more than enough reason for canceling.

            So now every threat is a death threat? Give me a break.

            Even you must recognize there is a difference between "I'm going to punch you in the face" and "I'm going to shoot you in the face".

              Ah yes I'm sure the deranged far right loons sending threats sent polite and gentle threats of punching them in the face, and never ever would threaten to shoot up the place, threaten family members, etc.

                If there were any threats that serious, the stories you quoted didn't bother to mention it. I was just curious why you referred to "death threats" and if there was another source for this information that you hadn't bothered to cite. I have to assume at this point there isn't, and as is your habit, you resort to mockery instead of simply admitting you made a mistake.

                  I am glad Rittenhouse was not convicted, but it seems wrong for him to go around making speeches and getting fame and money talking about him killing two people, even in self defense. Someone dying is nothing to exploit or make light of.

                    Or declaring "I'll never drink another one of your beers again!"

                    That is the type of threat businesses regularly receive.

                    But something tells me these were more serious.

                    I'm always still in trouble again

                      They could have been, but the stories cited by Gond don't say. I was just curious why he was so certain they were death threats specifically, which is why I asked. I honestly didn't expect his over-the-top reaction to my query.

                        Far right? Who gets to judge what is far right? And discriminating based on nothing but "I don't like your politics" should not be allowed.

                          Interesting, so in your ideal world, businesses cannot chose who to do business with and must engage in business with them.

                          So when a tranny group comes in for a show in front of kids, they have to let them rent their space.

                            No, you simply made an error. Kyle is not "far right".

                            Not at all. But just disagreeing with their politics should not be a reason to deny a service that is offered to everyone else.

                            Yes. As disgusting as I think it is, they still should be able to rent a space. But then I'd call the cops and have them arrested for child exploitation, but that's a separate discussion.

                              . Kyle is not "far right".
                              1. Given his hanging out with Proud Boys, that appears doubtful - at the very least he is far-right-adjacent or far-right-curious
                              2. I wasn't just talking bout Kyle but about the Texit speaker, and what has come out about the publishing group that made the original booking.

                              That's nuts.
                              So you opposed the Colorado Baker.

                                I don't see a huge problem with them. What do you find objectionable that makes them "far right"?


                                That's nuts.

                                No. That was not similar at all. Providing customized services is not the same as providing a generic service.


                                Just wow.
                                Child exploitation is a "wow", isn't it?
