1. lol

What did he say? That god I mean Rush was wrong to say what he said,

[wryter2000]

2. Yup

We bought some of their soup yesterday. I can't stomach the stuff myself, but the dh likes it.

3. I guess that means sales may fall

4. LOL

So I guess McNabb is the bad guy for defending himself against Pigboy.
:eyes:

5. What a bunch of dumbasses.

Maybe they should boycott Pfizer instead. Maybe they should boycott voting in any more elections. Or pork rinds.

[Bob3]

6. I think this is just an excuse.

The real story is they can't figure out how a can opener works.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

7. Oh dear, but that will only leave them with

Oodles of Noodles, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, Steak-Uums and Hungry Man Dinners to eat.

[Philostopher]

8. It's Chunky soup McNabb endorses, anyway.

They're probably relieved -- all that deciding whether to eat it with a spoon or a fork was probably giving them brain-lock anyway!

[VermontDem2004]

9. Freepers are probaly hoping McNabb does horrible the rest of the year

I seen one saying that McNabb will washout in a couple of years and become a backup for several teams for the rest of his career.

[GalleryGod]

10. Looks like there's Lot's of WTF being Expressed by other Freepers

Arguing with the author of the original post!
Too cool!

[HuckleB]

11. That's funny.

Actually, it might be good for 'em. A little less salt can't hurt.

[Catch22Dem]

12. I gotta hand it to them

There's some freepers over there who think this is a stupid idea and think Rush made a huge mistake. So, let's hear it for the freepers who aren't completely brain dead. These are people who need to ditch FR...because they just don't quite fit in.

Exactly. How is McNabb a race baiter. The fact is a pill popping ENTERTAINER who knows NOTHING about football stuck his foot in his mouth. People who look to Rush for ideas and leadership are SHEEP!

Well hold on now. Rush says something that gets him in hot water. Rush quits ESPN. And I should be mad at McNabb- a third party who was minding his own business before all this started? That doesn't make any sort of sense.

am as partisian as the next guy but, having seen McNabb totally destroy my favorite team, the Bears, in the playoffs two yrs. ago, I will argue that anyone claiming he is not a spectacular athlete and possibly of Hall of Fame potential is full of crap.

Rush is great but, like any human, can say or do stupid things.

13. Am I missing something?

To be fair, it appears the vast majority of the 20 entries there,while not coming right out and calling Rush the racist that he is, agree that McNabb is not a race baiter, that Rush was wrong, and they have no sympathy for him.

Only one or two stated they will boycott Cambell's soup. At least one seemed to think it was a stupid idea.

I'm certainly not a Freeper fan...but fair is fair. When, every now and then, Freeperville shows what may be considered some common sense, shouldn't we celebrate? I mean, there was the one who called ditto heads SHEEP!

15. Fair Is Fair & Funny Is Funny

True only a couple mentioned the Campbell's soup boycott, but it did lead to some funny come backs on this thread. :)

[Terran]

14. Actually, a lot of them

are making intelligent remarks about the issue. I must say I'm surprised, but then racism is not a republican monopoly.

[HuckleB]

16. Are they boycotting the NFL and United Way?

I just saw an ad for NFL merchandise with McNabb. I saw one for the United Way last night.

Hey, a boycott ought to be all-encompassing, no?

[Catch22Dem]

17. Indeed

That would be hilarious (and sad) if they boycotted the United Way.

[underpants]

18. I think it more a matter of opening the can hurting their tooth

Come on that was a softball.

Let's see Campebells and Disney weigh pissing off a few rabid right wing racists or the entire African-American and civil minded population.......tough choice.

[eauclaireliberal]

19. LOL! What a bunch of knuckle-dragging mouth breathers...

Dixie Chicks, Disney, Campbell's soup...as if anyone really gives a shit.

To the freepers who lurk here at DU, this is for YOU:Boycott away, complete and total losers! You'll be living back in the caves in no time at this rate.
