Yeah, your lot threw a hissy (which is only warranted and good when the right does it, amirite?) and got the sponsorship pulled. That's how this works. Yay capitalism! Your shrill lot's doing the same thing. The activist leftwing group, GYW, organizes boycotts of businesses that sell the Trump
line of products as well as boycotting Trump owned businesses. Our "lot" is just taking a page out of your ilk's own playbook. Down the hatch and Bon Appetit. Hope your ilk enjoys the taste of it's own medicine.

I was commenting on out of corrupt, out of control leadership being what apparently both plays and Julius Caesar was about. Not that I've ever been much for Shakespeare.
The play was less about out-of-control leadership than about the dangers of political whimsy, it seems to me. The play is a cautionary tale that assassination is not the clean answer it appears to be.

So after being made a fool on this thread . The last death grip of Assholes impotent rage at this non issue. Is to try and compare a play that he doesn't understand and hurts no one . To boycotting the current douche bag and chief for the stupid shit he's currently doing
Oh and yes Coriolanus would have been more analogous to Trump for sure . But as has been pointed out it's not as well known .

You have absolutely no sense of hypocrisy do you.
After the lies, hatred and intolerance directed at Obama and any liberal by right wing individuals, groups and media for years, you suddenly draw the line at a shakespearean play redone in modern times. THAT's the level of 'hatred" you find intolerable??
You've sold your soul to an ideology and have given up on thinking for yourself. You're the perfect example of the worst thing that could happen to America.

Funny Delta didn't pull funding on the Julius Caesar performance at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis in 2012 where Caesar looked like Obama. There seems to be a double-standard at work.

Your reflection, no doubt.
So, as long as tax payers didn't fund this heinous bullshit then you don't have a moral or ethical problem with it, and it is not at all comparable to the Shakespeare act you posted? We wouldn't be shifting goal posts, now would we?
Of course he is, because there wasn't any taxpayer funding of the play. But whiny nazi and the restof his far right cretins only believe speech is free when they approve of it.
