Target has made a stunning reversal after Fox News host Mark Levin called out the retail giant for not carrying his new book 'The Democratic Party Hates America' because it 'may offend certain customers.'
Levin blasted the retail giant on Wednesday saying: 'Target has informed my publisher, Simon & Schuster, that it will not carry my new book when it is released on September 19.
'It claims that certain customers might be offended by the title. Imagine that! So, the corporatist leftwing censorship begins. I will discuss this in more detail on this evening's radio show.'

So Satan merchandising is alright but conservative books are “too polarizing”!
This company has completely lost its moral compass!

No surprises here… we who love you, Mark, don’t frequent ‘woke’ stores nor products. We have been paying attention to the corruption in America, even in the US Senate when I worked at one of the Judiciary Subcommittees years ago…
It was an insult [IMHO] to be asked on Capitol Hill, “What GS Level are you”? I would turn my back and walk away,

Keep up the amazingly great work, Dear Astute Mark!
And may I respectfully suggest you and/or your team look into talking to Victor Davis Hanson, a grape farmer here in CA, another thoughtful Patriot, who also is at Stanford.

Voting with our wallets is the last legal means of resistance. We have most of the disposable income. Make them feel it hard.

#7 now that song is running through my head! But it’s a good one.
If Levins book is on the shelf I won’t know anyway. Target is out. Target will display all kinds of liberal leftist crap but anyone with a different viewpoint is banned? They must be ran by Marxists. Unreal

That is only Target; what about Dayton's and other Mpls based outlets?

What is wrong with these corporations? Let the customers decide if they want to buy the book.

Another miss. Do they seriously think that after the way they treated our children (Pride grooming & bathrooms) that we'll all flood back because we can now buy Levin's book at their store? They value themselves more than I do. These people are hopeless.

Fear that shopping Democrats will be offended is unfounded. They don’t shop. They loot, burn and steal the merchandise. Or election!

Every time I read these stories about Target, I get the feeling somebody is going after them, and not for their woke policies. Target has competitors, and they aren't above manipulating the general public to gain market share. The UK Daily Mail is anti-woke? Who knew? Target is known for their great selection of reading material? Nope. People are flocking to Target to buy their pro-gay clothing? Only a small niche. I think we are being played.

I seriously doubt Mark Levin will be selling many copies of his upcoming book at Target or online with them.
I stopped shopping there years ago when they allowed pedophiles who were gender confused to go into the women's restroom and chose to sell their wares during the Christmas season while they dropped the word "Christmas"-- even Walmart backtracked on that, seeing their loss of sales.

#9, Dayton's was bought out by Marshall Field's and then Macy's years ago. It no longer exists.

Another example of corporate suicide. Go woke, go broke, yet once again. I suspect that Target CEO, Brian Cornell, intervened and nixed the plan to not sell Levin's book. He didn't want his company to become another Bud Lite debacle. Thinking that some of his executive team are no longer employed at Target. But the die was cast. Target is now seen as another woke lefty company. Wife and I do not and will not shop there. I'm buying the book but not from there.

And as it was, the company had already committed an unforced error by opening its LBGTQ clothing departments for children. You can't make this up.

Target will be in trouble. Just finished the holiday with multiple children and their families visiting. Overheard conversation about Target - no one shops there. Target is held in contempt about the trans stuff - it’s name is said in disgust. These are families from different parts of the US, all with children, all expressing the same attitude without prior consultation with each other. If Target loses them they will also lose the future because their children won’t shop there either.
I would be very worried if I was the head of Target.

Did the ultra liberal Target management just get caught attempting to ban a legitimate book?

Target's U-Turn was beyond lame. First they state they weren't going to sell the book because it would be offensive to some of their customers. THEN, after the backlash they say they always had plans to sell it but they wanted to contact the publisher beforehand because they were concerned about "hate" being in the title. Did they think they'd get the publisher to change it? #6 is so right. Why can't these companies just own up to their mistakes and offer a simple heartfelt apology rather than dragging their feet with obvious appeasement measures which actually appease no one?? Another epic fail.
