with this trash that you allow to be sold in your store

Well, he was partly right. His rant pretty much sums up everything that’s sold in Walmart.

“Walmart, can you please explain why you’re alienating Southern Americans with this trash …

Fuck you and your “Southern Americans” bullshit. Either refer to yourself as just an “American” or kindly GTFO.

Note: Unless you’re from Brazil or something…which I’m doubting

But, would Walmart bake and decorate a wedding cake for an gay ISIS couple??

I, for one, am fed up with these guys who hate and disrespect our country and our Constitution. If they want to celebrate “Southern Heritage” I’m all for giving them the state of Texas, giving them 2 weeks to move there, and then declaring Texas an independent country.

counter_coulter · June 30, 2015, 8:02pm

They can take Texas…but leave the BBQ.

Why did the guy want an ISIL cake? Put that guy on a watch list.

“It’s unfortunate one customer thought to take advantage of an associate who did not know the flag and its meaning… We apologize for the mistake."

Yep. Stunt too stupid and obvious to have any impact.

So the guy had to play a game of “gotcha” to cry victim? LOL!

Clearly a graduate of the “James O’Keefe School of Politics and Cinematography”.

Was he dressed as a stereotypical pimp when he ordered the cake? Shouting “ACORN akhbar!”? Because I think that’s extra credit.

ottnott · June 30, 2015, 8:21pm

That is worthy of The Daily Show

imkmu3 · June 30, 2015, 8:21pm

ACORN akhbar

Perfect.

imkmu3 · June 30, 2015, 8:23pm

Waiting for him to appear on Fox…

red_cabbage · June 30, 2015, 8:25pm

I guess Netzhammer just alienated “Honest Americans.”

sniffit · June 30, 2015, 8:31pm

This is all they’ve got? “Gotcha” attempts? Fucking A…this shit isn’t even worth popcorn.

sniffit · June 30, 2015, 8:35pm

"can you please explain why you’re alienating Southern Americans with this trash "

Haha…well, then why don’t you just organize yourself a boycott, Jethro? What’s that? You can’t because Walmart came in and destroyed all the local small businesses and now it’s the only place for you to conveniently get X, Y and Z without having to drive 50+ miles? Huh…guess you should have though of that before sucking all that plutocrat dick, eh, Teabaggy McGetaclue?

firstprime · June 30, 2015, 9:02pm

So, this is another example of the “James O’Keefe School of Journalism”?

In concept if not in execution The word is akbar meaning “greatest”; akhbar is the Arabic word for “news”.

en.wikipedia.org

Akhbar

Akhbar in Arabic (أخبار) is the plural of khabar (خبر), meaning news or, in Classical Arabic, reports about significant past events. The Arabic term occurs in the titles of many newspapers and other media, and may refer to:

Oh I disagree completely! You missed the subtle dig at “Southern American” intelligence for thinking it’s spelled akhbar.
