Let's just call it the "B" word

"Vermont bistro owners say they’ve taken down their sign about bacon after learning a Muslim woman in the community found the advertisement offensive and insensitive to those who don’t eat pork."

Only the sign being posted and the last quote was sourced from Blaze, the rest was sourced from the local NBC afilliate, including the statement that one woman was offended.

By the way, the WPTZ article also contains the final quote that was attributed to Blaze in the Washington Times article.

I saw that link too. It's still not beyond the realm of probabilty that some little rightwingnut troll in a virtual burka spoofed the bistro.

No offense but this still has my bs meter pegged

Article credited to "The WPTZ Staff", so you're probably right. The staff at the local NBC afilliate there in Plattsburgh are all hardcore righties, and they had it out for this restaurant.

That is easier to accept than believing a business would roll over like this.
