Jesse Lee Peterson Claims ‘Redskins’ Controversy Is An Attack On ‘Freedom,’ ‘White Business Owners’

Conservative talk show host Jesse Lee Peterson is calling on conservatives to buy Washington Redskins merchandise in order to stand up to Democrats as they “exploit a racial crisis” and try to “destroy successful and independent-minded, white business owners.”

In his WorldNetDaily column today, Peterson also warns that criticism of the NFL team’s name amounts to an attack on freedom itself: “Supporting the team and their owner, Dan Snyder, is supporting freedom.”

Harry Reid publicly slammed team owner Daniel Snyder and said the Redskins name was “racist.” Barack Obama, who never misses an opportunity to exploit a racial crisis, said if he owned the team he would change the name.

This interference is not about eradicating racism. It’s about intimidation and control! Reid and the left want to destroy successful and independent-minded, white business owners by forcing them to comply with the tyrannical demands of this administration and fringe activist minority groups.

The left’s obsession with political correctness, power and control is causing Americans to lose their livelihoods and freedom.

When we don’t stand up and speak out against evil, we empower it. If they can ban the Redskins name and strip law-abiding Americans of their private and intellectual property rights, they can rob us of our individual rights as well.

Banning the Redskins name is an outrageous move influenced by a lawless administration. Supporting the team and their owner, Dan Snyder, is supporting freedom. Do the right thing, America!

You can support the Redskins’ brand by purchasing apparel directly from the team’s online pro-shop. Contact the Redskins and encourage them to stand their ground against this unsportsmanlike conduct!
