And these people call themselves freedom-loving Americans? Nothing but authoritarian Socialists. How do you compromise with that type of BATSH*T INSANE thinking? Oh, and those weren't just average Joes. Those were Democrat delegates.

The only freedom they care about is the freedom to screw whoever they want too, and the freedom to kill any babies accidentally made in the process. Everything else should be controlled by the government.  :banghead:

Apple corporation.  One of the most profitable corporations in the world and a darling of the left. Are these idiots ready to kiss Apple goodbye?

DNC courts corporate donors for convention help (http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/48907952/ns/today-today_news/t/dnc-courts-corporate-donors-convention-help/#.UEpUt41lTjI)
A DNC sister nonprofit offers firms 'sponsorship opportunities' to cover costs of event

Quote
While publicly pledging to refuse corporate money, the official host committee for this week’s Democratic National Convention has quietly and aggressively courted corporate donors — using a sister nonprofit that has been offering firms special “sponsorship opportunities” if they ponied up $1 million or more to help cover the costs of the event.

A 13-page marketing brochure obtained by NBC News shows how New American City, a nonprofit that is closely affiliated with the official Democratic convention host committee,  offered package deals to corporate contributors — with different benefits  starting at levels of $100,000 and escalating to the top “Tryon Street Level” of $1 million.

The companies that reached the seven-figure level got “naming rights” at “villages” set up for a Charlotte street festival that opened up the convention, as well as guarantees that “your logo will be featured prominently.” The firms also got to put up banners and logos at other convention-related events — such as delegate and media welcoming parties — as well as the chance to include their logos in gift bags that are being handed out to 6,000 delegates and over 15,000 members of the media.
The use of New American City to tap corporate funds appears to have worked. While Charlotte in 2012 has struggled to meet its $37 million fundraising goal, New American City has raised about $15 million from corporate donors that include Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Duke Power and Time Warner Cable, according to public statements by foundation and host committee officials.

The courtship of big corporate donors by New American City stands in contrast to much of the rhetoric that Democrats have used to describe this week’s Charlotte convention. By publicly stating that they wouldn’t take money from corporations and lobbyists — or any donations over $100,000 — for the official convention host committee, the Democrats have said they are holding a “people’s convention” unlike any that has come before it.

Quote
Despite the organizers’ promise to hold “the most transparent convention” in history and initial pledge to release the names of all donors in real time, the convention organizers now say they won’t release a complete list of the donors to either group until they are required to do under federal election law — next month, long after the convention is over.

If I saw a company's logo "featured prominently" at an event that supports the DNC, I'd consider selling any stock in that company that I owned. It'd be pretty obvious that they might not make the best business decisions.
