“This Valentine’s Day, one of the nation’s largest greeting card companies is circulating a satirical online greeting card that depicts ‘Love Democratic Style’ as “throw[ing] family values out the window” and depicts House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) dressed as a dominatrix and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) as a maid. RAW STORY could not locate a “Love Republican style” greeting card at the company’s website.
“Blue Mountain’s greeting card, entitled ‘Love Democratic Style.’ The short eCard from the company plays a short jingle for about 30 seconds with a variety of colorful images of Democratic political leaders in compromising situations.”
“RAW STORY was awaiting comment from Democratic offices and American Greetings Interactive, the company that owns Blue Mountain, at press time. AGInteractive is owned by American Greetings, which says on its website that it is ‘one of the world’s largest manufacturers of social expression products.’”

Write the companies a note to tell them what you think of their stunt, and the next time you’re looking for a greeting card buy one from another company.
