I feel like that isn't going to stop them.

Of all the stores in town, this is the very last store owner Obama would want his Secret Service trampling the constitutional rights of. It would blow up extremely quickly, and leave a very unpleasant taste in the mouths of a large contingent of the young left-wingers in the capital city of a swing state.

[–]DeadAlready 7 points8 points ago

And, I'm pretty sure it exists solely to poke fun at the Colombian prostitute scandal.

[–]patpend[S] 9 points10 points ago

No. I think the store owner is serious about not letting them search. This is what he posted about the sign:

"Obama's setting up in the East Village, and when word came down that the Secret Service wanted to sweep all businesses and residences, we needed to dust off the 4th Amendment. we're not big into unwarranted searches around the ol' shop, so we put up a notice for them ... in kind of an a-hole way, though."

[–]patpend[S] 7 points8 points ago

WTF? I am merely providing a factual account of what the store owner actually wrote. You guys don't like facts?

[–]FOSTAR 6 points7 points ago

Reddit loves facts, unless it's something they don't agree with. Then you are downvoted to oblivion.

[–]dustlesswalnut 1 point2 points ago

You might be getting downvoted because of the sidebar rule:

Politics - This includes the 2012 Presidential candidates or bills in congress. Try /r/politicalhumor instead.

While I don't think your post was preaching politics, the fact that the election is tomorrow and whatnot means this should probably be in /r/politicalhumor

[–]patpend[S] 1 point2 points ago

I would have thought that, but the post itself is getting lots of upvotes. It is only the factual responses that were getting down-voted.

As an aside, I voted already, but I am neither an Obama nor a Romney supporter.

Given that I actually know the business owner who posted this, I was merely trying to provide the factual context people seemed to want.

[–]dustlesswalnut 2 points3 points ago

The number of upvotes isn't really relevant-- most people upvote from the frontpage based on nothing but the title and content. The people that aren't content to simply downvote and move on are probably going to open up the comments and downvote the subby any way they can.

[–]jvardrake -2 points-1 points ago

That might be the official policy, but in reality, political stuff in /r/funny is allowed, if it makes fun of the right.

[–]wojosmith 2 points3 points ago

I would love to work for any owner with that sense of humor.

[–]P_Charming 2 points3 points ago

I would love to work with someone with any sense of humor

[–]WillSommers 1 point2 points ago

East Village? Which city is this in?

[–]patpend[S] 1 point2 points ago

Des Moines.

...I had nothing to do with giving it that moniker.

[–]WillSommers 0 points1 point ago

Holy crap, I noticed the font and instantly thought Raygun. It's right up their alley. Amazing local snarky T-Shirt store in Iowa: The California of the United States.

[–]i_am_andreeuhh 1 point2 points ago

I love Raygun!
