Default Amazon.com supports Socialism

Everytime you buy something from Amazon.com, part of your purchase goes to donate to the Socialist movement.

Im glad I have never bought anything from Amazon.com and never will.

Look on the right side of the page and you will see what Im talking about.

I don't think you looked at the wording correctly. It says:

"Every purchase you make at Amazon.com after clicking the logo below benefits SocialistWorker.org"

This is how on-line advertising works. Certain web sites offer "kickbacks" for other sites to direct traffic to their site. So, amazon.com will only pay socialistworker.org a set fee ONLY if the user clicks on the amazon.com link that is on the socialistworker.org site, AND buys something from amazon.com. If you buy something directly from amazon.com (reach their site by typing in Amazon's URL), and buy something from amazon.com, they won't have to pay anybody for advertising.

Take a look around this site. You see the "Featured Sponsors" on the right side of this page? Well, if you click on the Amsoil advertisement, and buy something from Amsoil, audiforums.com will get some sort of kickback as a "thank you" for advertising Amsoil on this site.

I found that site because after doing research I found out that Obama bin laden was getting donations from this group just like Move-On.org.

I do not believe a well informed person can look thru just one window and keep their heads in the sand.

Ignoring the enemy is not in my nature.

Amazon.com well aware of whats going on....unlike the majority of the people in the US.....Just clueless.....

right, so the majority of america is clueless. (i.e. people who support the president)
and You think the president is the enemy, along with socialists. just because you are well informed, doesn't mean your 'sources' are. You sound like you enjoy too many conspiracy theories.

Hahahahahaha!!!! Thats one of the funniest things I have read in a long time! Got any more zingers? Its almost as bad as the thing I read about Target that said you shouldn't shop there because they are owned by a company in France, even though Target is a publicly traded company!

What's up with the whole "Obama bin Laden" thing? Are you just trying to connect him to Osama in some subliminal way? Because, OMG its working. I feel like Obama is probably a terrorist now.

Because Obama is a muslim in hiding...

Because Bin Laden is hiding and wont show his face.

I wont care if Obama came out and admitted he was a muslim but will do his sworn job to protect the USA and put all the cards on the table but he lied to the the american people....

Its funny that the muslim community knows Obama knows he is a muslim.

One of Obama brillant plans after closeing Gitmo is too bring the terrorist here to the US and he said in a memo he might even let them go and let the CIA keep tabs on them.

There were several terrorists at Gitmo that were released and were found again on the battlefield fighting against the US Military...

Maybe Obama will let the terrorist get a good loan on a home and get good jobs for a job well done.
