2. Be sure to give him a negative comment...
Like "He'll curse others but won't enlist himself".

:sarcasm:

The sad thing is, this jerk is probably quite impressed with himself over this.

5. Complain to ebay.
We did this before...some stupid right wing dick (as if there's any other kind) put up a "one way ticket out of Crawford to Cindy Sheehan" for bidding. Someone posted about here and enough of us complained to ebay that the item was withdrawn.

The same thing can happen now.

9. This is what it says now.
Description (revised)
Commemorate Mother Sheehan's Peace Mom Vigil against George W. Bush (who sent her son to die), his evil war for oil and Halliburton while he and other cruel, cold-hearted conservatives vacation safely in Texas by ordering this one-of-a-kind baseball.

Commemorate this crazy loon's departure from the ditch along with all the other America-hating terrorist-defending squatters and main stream press as they head back to Berkeley and other liberal alcoves by ordering this one-of-a-kind baseball she has appeared in.

Is this an attempt at bipartisanship?

10. You insult their president, you insult them
for many Republicans, its not about Iraq or the troops at all. Its about Bush.

That's it.

Bottom line.

Bush.

I think this is offensive and would like to contact eBay, but everything seems to be computerized.

Is there a way to contact a living person over there?

17. Go To The Site Map
They have a contact point. First read the rules and find where this sort of thing is not allowed and then complain. Better yet, bid the dollar on it and buy it - then leave a negative feedback. You can never get rid of a negative feedback and he will always show a score of less than 100%. It will hurt him on every sale he ever tries to make in the future and in fact some people won't even sell to a buyer with ANY negative feedback.

Scott is a testically-challenged conservative.

and only 17 feedbacks?

It's not like he even knows what he's doing on eBay.

Just a stupid jerk trying to get attention.

I'd prefer not to give him what he wants.

24. A used baseball with a sad face on it and awful insults about Cindy
plus the usual right wing diatribe about liberals and their ideals in the text.

Some punk college kid with a twisted mind and not enough guts to enlist in the military.

Why are these people, who so adamantly "support" the troops, the first to mock their sacrifice?

I'm remembering the Purple Heart adhesive bandages from the RNC last summer...

The same place where that screaming, counter-protesting loon leader was from? I seem to remember the guy (who was there last weekend waving his giant flag and screaming) was from Maryland. He got a lot of media coverage.

Anyone recall this?

42. There is no magic involved. In fact it's fraud.
If someone puts the same design on a Dunhill basevall. It's nolonger one of a kind more fraud That becomes fraud as well. Also do they Cidy's permission to her name and ,ahem,likeness? Cindy is a private citizen with full right to control her name, likeness, and image. I live in Md. I Could try to buy it and prosecute on the state level. But if someone outside Md. bought it. The fraud becomes a federal crime. Better yet. Have the Camp Casey buy it. Then file criminal fraud charges in Texas. Make them come out there to Texas to defend. That 1.25 ought to cover their expense. LMAO That ought to teach them not to pick on or profit from a dead soldier or his mother.

They have a smaller staff on weekends, and it usually takes 24-48 hours for a reported listing to be pulled in any case.

59. After I reported it, I got an automated responce...
thanking me for reporting the "offending listing" with promises that they would "check out the listing" and *IF* they find it is in violation, they will take appropriate action against the seller up to and including: "Removal of the offending auction" or "Suspension of the sellers account". But they also said they would NOT contact me further about my complaint. Since it is still up, I assume they decided the listing was OK. :grr:
