The Fairfax Bar and Grill in Indiana alienated some of its patrons after it condemned them for criticizing Bud Light's association with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. (Snip) However, one venue in Bloomington, Indiana, has made headlines with a contradictory message calling for "open conversations" about the subject, yet demanding those who disagree to "leave" their establishment. "We are tired of all of the hate. We are very open to debate and discussion and it’s truly a shame that we can’t have open conversations about this important political and cultural topic.

Sounds like the owners tried to drink up all the Bud Lite that they had in stock and couldn't sell and then drunkenly made this suicidal business decision.

A brilliant example of liberal logic. "We can have a conversation, but if you don't agree with me, you can get lost." Excellent way to cut your revenue in half.

We need more of this kind of clarity.
Seriously, we do. Lines are being drawn.

FTA: ..we will not tolerate intolerance here"
Isn't asking people to leave if they disagree with you, intolerance?

We tolerate all ideas and expression, except yours, and yours, and definitely yours. Please come buy our beer! Just keep your mouth shut while doing it.

"Hate speech" = anything with which the left disagrees.
Anyone who can't figure out how to drink beer without going into a woke bar deserves what he gets there.

Them: "Let's have an open and honest conversation/dialog where we, the anointed and enlightened, will tell you just how wrong and hateful and evil you are, you mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, hillbilly bigots."
Me: Yeah... no. And just to be clear, if you don't take NO for an answer there will be consequences.

I don't mind debating openly and honestly about Homosexuals and Transgenders.
There are 2 sexes and Homosexuals are having perverted sex.
It is none of my business what they do as long as they do it among them selves. I wish they would keep it that way
Trannies are insane. There is nothing more to say.
I will debate all day, but hell will freeze over before I accept either.

They’re too stupid to see the hypocrisy in their statement. Open discussion. Sure, just as long as you agree with them. Isn’t that tyranny?

My "tolerance" level has limits, and it has been exceeded on a number of levels.
They're going to push until they get pushed back. Hard. Enough.

In other words, you shouldn't be allowed to laugh at the guy's values. No, you need to "discuss" them. Because the Left toils endlessly to make the world a place where people can only agree with them.

Let me know when they start throwing people out for being intolerant of Trump supporters. Won't hold my breath. Imagine just uttering his name is considered intolerant. They have sowed the wind and will reap the whirlwind.

I love it when a company or establishment is honest. That way, I know whether or not I want to support them with my money. Clearly, I would not support the Fairfax B&G with a penny of my money.
Hey, it's a free country. If they want to go woke -- probably go broke very soon afterwards -- that is their prerogative!!!!

Go woke go broke bar. Why do businesses allow their liberal politics to come before good business decisions. Stupid I guess, and prerequisite to the being a Dumocrat.

#13 is correct. I owned my own business for 43 years and would never allow political posters even for candidates I liked. It’s remarkably stupid that corporations would p**$ off half their customers because some ignorant little woke twit thought that that she (and it seems it’s always a she) could appeal to one percent of the population.. who hires these people? Every time I see some corporation do this I call my broker and tell him to sell and reinvest. This woman at AB single-handedly destroyed a brand.

Some people just do not understand irony do they? That establishment deserves to wither on the business vine and disappear.

The owner of this bar is blind and stupid. He obviously paid no attention whatsoever to how much business Anheuser Busch lost by being woke and virtue signaling. Sorry if you're stuck with a lot of Bud Light, but now you'll find your former customers voting with their feet.

If you're not with me, you're against me. Real simple, don't drink crappy Bud Light, and go to a bar where you can talk about whatever you want to talk about. AB screwed the pooch with this campaign.

I understand very much why someone stands up for what they believe in but companies/establishments have to be very careful. It is probably in their best interest to avoid politics. There is a point that I would like to make. If someone still chooses to drink Bud Light, it is their choice. They may not agree with the company's politics but may just enjoy the product. Please do not judge a person for their choice. It has become so divisive and it is sad. There are companies/establishments that I still shop at (I have no choice) but absolutely do not like their politics.

Be careful what you ask for, bar owner. The new customers may turn your bar into something you won't want.
