Just two weeks after a Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based spice company held a “Republicans are Racist” sale over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, it is dealing with a massive loss of business and openly begging for new customers.
Penzey’s Spices CEO Bill Penzey, who routinely uses his company’s email list to send anti-Republican screeds, sent a newsletter earlier this month in which he accused GOP voters of fantasizing about killing African Americans.
“Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM [Black Lives Matter] wasn’t a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence

Not even close enough. The Penzey family needs to fire its CEO and publicly apologize. I have never understood how ANY business can afford to take a one-sided stand and anger half its real (or potential) customer base.

The Holier Than Thou Cackle seek to deflect from their own racism by accusing everybody else. When his fellow marxists establish the Racial Equalization Boards, the spice trade will be found to have been coextensive with the slave trade and the company- if there’s anything left of it by then- will be given to a loyal marxist.

I’m always amazed when these rabid defenders of fascism feel they need to lie about all these secret conservatives who agree with them. They are all weenies who think that’ll solve their self made problems. I think Mr. Penzey needs to hold fast to his principals of hate and socialism as they take him and his company right down the drain.

Peaceful movements do not burn, rape, murder and steal, it's just definitive logic to name BLM a terrorist organization and no, many people are not fantasizing because lives are in real danger.
How do you turn into a social expert by importing and selling spices? Now he looks like a dunce.

Don Surber posts that he lost 40,000 customers but gained 30,000.
So, if he's rending his garments it's all theater.

The idiot CEO forgot that Republicans are consumers too. Call them whatever you want, they still buy stuff. Just not from you anymore.

First, think of all the energy spent creating these spices now wasted. Second, has anyone looked into how they are grown and harvested and the working conditions and wages to the workers ?

Let's hope that the company will lose 40,000 more this week.

It seems odd that you would deliberately do something to harm your company unless you wanted to harm your company.

If One America News is indeed soon eliminated from satellite tv it too will no doubt suffer a huge loss of subscribers. ...And for what? American customers' former free choices seem now to be spoon-fed by lefty PC programmers.

Penzey has some deep hate for Republicans, so his mission was accomplished. If this was to gain favor with blacks it won't work. Blacks don't sit at computers to order spices online so forget that group support you buffoon. If Penzey did this blunder to satisfy his soul, then he should be proud, mission accomplished don't complain after.

As CEO of a private company, he at least doesn't have a fiduciary responsibility to maximaize returns for the shareholders. What torques me are the big public-corporation CEO's that embark on social justice campaigns that result in losses.

I am sure he is well-fixed financially, but this is especially dumb. I am retired now, but in the past I would be asked to put a campaign poster in my businesse's window. I always declined, whether it was a candidate I agreed with or not. It's just common sense to not offend your customers, but some of these people on the left are so consumed with hate that they can't help themselves.

#1 Privately held company, so C.E.O. is a family member. Golden opportunity to put a hurting on a "woke" company. Make them bleed financially, then stick a fork in them. An example must be made.
