Thank you for contacting us with your concern about the search results for the Barack Obama Halloween mask.

We’d like you to know that the search result for that item was modified by an Amazon.com customer using a “tagging” feature available on our website. The result was not provided by an Amazon employee or an Amazon search algorithm.

The search tag was removed quickly after it was discovered.

We have fixed the problem and apologize for any offense it created.

Thank you for contacting us.

I am a Democrat, Obama supporter, but neither candidate should have been listed as a “terrorist mask.”

I’m informing Amazon to correct the error

Couldn’t agree with you more. But that’s all there is to this amazon flap: name-calling.

This is effing unbelievable.

Here’s a link with a someone tagging McCain as a child abuser.

Making a fuss about an Obama mask will just get people finding tags that liberals have left on Amazon that are just as bad. Then those tags will get posted on Michelle Malkin, etc. using it against liberals and making the charge of hypocrisy. Learn from the disastrous McCain campaign: any charge you make might be used against you.

This is just another ridiculous distraction from Obama winning an election on issues.

Yes, but there’s a very big difference. Barack Obama is neither Arab nor a terrorist, whereas the labels of “diarrhea” and “trannie” and “jew hater” for Ann Coulter are 100% accurate.

I don’t know either, but I do know that if you write a review for a product on their website, it takes 48 hours before it is posted, so that its contents may be reviewed and approved before being posted.

There’s a difference between name calling and inciting violence. Your freedom of speech ceases to be free when it risks causing harm to others.

The Republican ticket has been instigating violence against Obama. That’s where conservatives are crossing the line.

Don’t be so quick to judge Amazon. They work kind of like E-bay where merchants submit their goods and they are automatically uploaded. I don’t think that Amazon had anything to do with it and I don’t think Amazon approved it before hand. I may be wrong, though.

Take a look at some of the tags on the Palin mask, it’s cutting both ways:

Except for the drag reference, the rest of those are true. Ann Coulter says a lot of hateful things. As a result, she simply gets back what she puts out there.

The slurs against Obama are associated with violence, and I think that there’s a difference between that and calling Ann Coulter ‘diarrhea’.

Absolutely. Real Capitalism is based on exactly that – power in the hands of the Consumer who is supposed to be represented by a large middle class.

The Republicans might think they rule via Trickle Down, but they do not. It is We the People who rule via our purchase power. In Capitalism, we vote with our dollars.
