Sanders Campaign Accused of Trademark Bullying By Web Site (buzzfeed.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Buzzfeed is reporting that "An online merchant has accused the Bernie Sanders campaign of 'trademark bullying'. after a Bernie 2016, Inc. attorney sent him a cease and desist letter regarding t-shirts, mugs, and sweatshirts depicting the candidate with historic communist leaders..." The t-shirt's designer tells Buzzfeed "He didn't seem to be the type of candidate, the type of guy, who would do something like this... I would think Bernie, or one of his staff members will step in and put an end to it. It appears to be pretty silly."
In January Ars Technica reported that lawyers for the Sanders campaign had demanded their logo be removed from pages on Wikipedia -- before later withdrawing that DMCA notice.

    The most dangerous thing about conservatives is that they think liberals aren't armed.

    Only to the kind of idiot who thinks a gun is the most dangerous weapon around. There are weapons a million times more dangerous than guns or even atom bombs ... and liberals have almost all of them.

    Guns can be pried from your fingers... but you can't pry our weapons out of our skulls.
