Home Depot Founder: Retailers Who Don't Support GOP "Should Be Shot"

The Oxdown Gazette | November 19, 2008 10:08 AM

http://oxdown.firedoglake.com/diary/1872

This is what Home Depot's founder Bernie Marcus said on a conference call yesterday:

"If a retailer has not gotten involved with this, if he has not spent money on this election, if he has not sent money to Norm Coleman and these other guys," Mr. Marcus said, apparently referring to Republican senators facing tough re-election fights, then those retailers "should be shot; should be thrown out of their goddamn jobs."

It's nice to know Home Depot supports the death penalty for not supporting their politics. The coming EFCA fight is going to be bloody.
