Heh. Last night, Kenneth Cole tweeted, “People gave $181 MIL to #obama in Sept. The same amt could buy 1,167,742 pairs of KC shoes ($155 each). What is wrong with our values?” The sane realized that tweet was a bit of snark in a marketing attempt. But, to the Left, it is cause for unhinged outrage. How dare he joke about The One? Plus, greedy shoe-seller! Trying to sell your products? Why, that’s unheard of!

He’s fretting. Over a joke tweet. He was probably unable to sleep, so he had to pull on his skinny jeans and take a walk down the block to get a soy chai. Other Obama cult members join in the freak-out.
@KennethCole meaning donating to #obama is wrong, we should give your shoes to the needy, or your shoes are overpriced?

@KennethCole My values dictate that I don't support hatred with my dollars.

@KennethCole You put your foot in your mouth showing your bigotry denegrating values of POTUS supporters. You've just lost a customer.

Hatred and bigotry. Trying to sell shoes is now … racist! Time to update the Handbook of Racial Code Words again. New entry: shoe sales.
@KennethCole was that a joke? Bad one, but you can't be that stupid, can you? Oh wait Kitchenaid was stupid too!
— Mary (@SeaSunMarisol) October 7, 2012
@KennethCole what? I know my donation represents my values while I guess yours are selling $155 shoes — grow up and stop playing politics
— Susan (@sailmom) October 7, 2012
@KennethCole yes. Our values suck. People spend obscene money on trivial crap like your shoes.
— Jillosopher, BSN, RN (@jillosopher) October 7, 2012
Probably even some icky banksters!
.@KennethCole No one I know will ever buy your products again.

@KennethCole Thanks for letting me know not to support your company anymore! Will never buy anything from you again! #Obama2012

Wow RT @PamMcAllister: No more of your shoes for me. MT @KennethCole

Bitterly clinging to their lack of humor!
Kenneth Cole even retweeted that one.
Will that stop the freak-out?
How long until some marketing manager at @KennethCole tweets an apology for the absurd tweet sent by some schmucky intern?
— HOPE from nyc (@nycHope) October 7, 2012
Sigh. Will the humorless tolerance police bully him into apologizing? Stay tuned.
UPDATE: And the simpering (he hearts Obama!!!) clarification begins. Kenneth Cole was totally being ironic and stuff. Because, campaign finance reform.
Just an ironic (and not clear) reflection for the need for campaign finance reform from a long time obama supporter.
