It’s his house he can sell it to ever the hell he wants. And as a man that fought for our freedoms he should have that freedom.

— Mike Koryta

That’s the way it should be. Foreigners who are not American citizens should not be able to own one piece of property. Americans are becoming so poor because their politicians are selling them out to foreign investors. It’s sad. — Robert Rule

Might be morally wrong but it’s the sellers property and they have every right to not sell to anybody that they don’t want to.

— Jason Miller

Would he even know if they were foreigners? When I bought my house I never even met the owner or even knew his name.

— Jerry Noggy

Not only does he have the right to be an ignorant bigot, he fought for the right to be an ignorant bigot. If he chooses to be an ignorant bigot, nobody should force him to be otherwise. Personally, I hope it never sells. It’d serve him right for being an ignorant bigot. Hopefully he wakes from his ignorance. — Paul Ambrose

Good for him, one of our tenets is free speech. He doesn’t have to sell his home to anyone he doesn’t want to...now, proving that he didn’t sell it to foreigner is different but he has a right to say that he isn’t interested in selling to a foreigner. — Chris Prizzi Krajnyak

How are foreigner’s protected by our laws but not military and police our laws should apply to citizens not foreigners.

— Ricky J. Carthen

Since he is both the homeowner and the realtor, as indicated by the “for sale by owner,” he is in violation of one of the fair housing act’s prohibitions: Advertising the sale or rental of a dwelling indicating preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. — Maureen Ischay

That’s horrible! And people are so afraid to criticize him bc he’s a vet. Who was he fighting for? We’re a nation of immigrants. Why should I thank anyone like that for his service? He obviously didn’t become a soldier bc he believed in America. — Christopher J. Popa

Simply do what employers all across the country do: discriminate without advertising the fact that you discriminate. “You didn’t quite meet our qualifications.”

— Bill Fisher

It is their home and they can sell to whom ever they want . They bought it and they have the right to sell it to whoever they want.

— Valerie Furr

Wow this Facebook think is making everyone a political genius. I never thought “smart phones” and the power of the media channels can funnel this much garbage to play humans against one another. It seems to be working as planned!! People should resort to reading books and going to school to educate themselves. — Damir Culina
