Freepers now trying to boycott Campbell's soup
very nice. i wonder what it's like to be a Freeper. i guess it's always entertaining, since there's always some new outrage to rail about. on the other hand, i think would suck to live with your parents, have no girlfriend/wife, and undersized genitalia.



Do You Disagree With McNabb? Tired of the Double Standard? Here's a link to Campbell Soup.

Do you think Donovan McNabb overreacted to Rush Limbaugh's commentary? Do you think his assessment that Limbaugh is a racist is wrong? Are you tired of the everpresent double standard in this country regarding racism? If you answered yes to these questions forget telling the NFL about it...they're the problem, not the solution. However, you can tell one of McNabb's other employers: The Campbell Soup Company.

If you, like me, have decided that Donovan McNabb is just another race baiter, you can contact the Campbell Soup Company by CLICKING HERE.

You can tell them, like I did, you will not be purchasing any more Campbell's products as long as Donovan McNabb remains their spokesman. You can tell them that since he is their spokesman, Campbell's apparently agrees with his opinions regarding this issue with Limbaugh. Tell them whatever you like...just tell them.

3. Meanwhile, Rush has resigned from the ESPN broadcasts.

This just demonstrates that Freepers are as racist as is their buddy Rush.

Do you suppose poor nutrition has anything to do with it?

4. Campbell's needn't worry...
Their current ad campaign apparently combined with cooler winter months means a bonanza in soup sales....

It's hard being a racist in spotlight, as I believe the Freeps are beginning to find...

5. that's just stupid
McNabb didn't say anything bad about Rush. He wouldn't call him a racist. He said he didn't want an apology.

I know Freepers are idiots, but geez.

6. but I thought McNabb shrugged off Limpball's comments?
might be not up to speed, but my impression was that McNabb hardly seemed fazed and it was the *listeners'* reaction that got Limpballs in his present pickle.

from all the stuff freepers are boycotting, it's a wonder they can survive.

. . . if only :eyes:

What the hell am I talking about? Neither do I.

11. How stupid are freepers?
McNabb didn't ask for this shit. Their god 'pill popper' Rush started it. McNabb was dignified in his press conference. Rush claimed "All this has become the tempest that it is because I must have been right about something," Limbaugh said. "If I wasn't right, there wouldn't be this cacophony of outrage that has sprung up in the sports writer community."-Rush Limbaugh, October 1, 2003.

"I love Sunday NFL Countdown and do not want to be a distraction
to the great work done by all who work on it. Therefore, I have decided to resign."--Limbaugh, later that day.

No apology from the junkie.

Edited on Thu Oct-02-03 12:15 PM by donotpassgo
shut up, "take the bone out of his nose" and take the truth as his 'massa' Rush tells him.

What a bunch of scumbags they are.

A perfect day for some Tomato soup and grilled cheese!

33. mmmmmmm....
Tomato soup and grilled cheese... I just got assaulted with warm fuzzy childhood memories...

Incidently, the Cambell Estate is a few miles from where I live in the burbs of Philly. Judging from the sheer size and appointments of the mansions on the hill (nevermind the extensive land mass they own), the Freeper boycott just has me in stitches. Like they'd make even a scratch on the Cambell accounts... pfffffttt... And yes, I did say mansions (plural)... with that kind of money, one monstrosity of an abode isn't nearly enough. Lovely property, too... very sceenic.

15. Man, what a bunch of sick fuckers.
Rush insults McNabb. McNabb declines the opportunity to return the favor. So they dicide to boycott Campbells soup because they have a commercial with McNabb in it. Someone should tell them to boycott directv too. He does a commercial for them as well.

Freepers racking their brains trying to figure out what to do.

20. Rush cancelled his contract with Campbell's
It seems they discontinued their "Cream of Amphetamine" soup, and he lost interest.

26. I'm sorry but...
...I'm still trying to process the claim that McNabb "overreacted". These assholes truly live in a world of their own creation. They can't and don't see what's right in front of their faces. But hey, that might give me a nice clear shot with my fist. Assholes.

31. McNabb basically said "whatever man" and that is a over reaction?
I guess anything less of apoligizing to Rush for this becoming a issue and demanding the "libral sports media" do likewise is over reacting.

As that's the main nutrient in Campbells.
