1. The Budweiser Story (not a joke) This is TRUE!

This line is a dead-giveaway that the story is NOT true.

The ending is also typical of right-wing hate mail with no basis in fact. I've seen a number of emails debunked by snopes that contains that ending. Looks the like authors are the same.

Thanks!

10. How would I do that , do I have to re-post it , or can I move it ?

[Sweet Freedom]

11. Go back to your initial post

copy the link from your address bar. Go to the link I gave you; hit Post, paste the link in the body of the message.

If you could make the title of the post something that identifies the contect, that would be helpful for people trying to search if it's been debunked.

If you can't figure it out, I'll try to remember to do it later. (I'm just trying to draw attention to the group since it's somewhat unknown, but it's a great place to store this stuff.)

16. Thanks I should have gone there 1st

9. You know it is a lie because it has republicons losing money.

A republicon wouldn't care if they sold weapons to terrorist that killed Americans. They would do anything for a profit. Even sell their souls.

12. That Budweiser employee called Malloy last night

from North Korea.

14. right wingers

Why do constipated conservative right wingers feel the need to make up this crap??

Are they all so phony in their patriotism that they need to do this?

[jmowreader]

18. They do it because reality sucks really, really bad for them

Right-winger fantasy: Anheuser-Busch (NOT Budweiser! A-B makes a LOT of beer brands.) distributor puts America Hating Rag-Head Ay-Rab Convenience Store out of business by removing all the Bud products from the store.

Right-winger reality: The person they elected pResident, with the help of a lot of Conflict of Interest and not a few Outright Felonies, makes Al Capone look law-abiding. Their leader bankrupted the nation, allowed the World Trade Center to be destroyed, got a professional football player killed off, decided to halt the search for the guy who hit the WTC so he could go after Saddam Hussein's Iraq, killed over 3000 soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, crippled tens of thousands of America's best and bravest, used up the Army...umm, what else did he do? Oh yeah, he also let a gay prostitute sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom on a number of occasions, took campaign contributions from Enron criminal Ken Lay, took them from lobbyist-criminal Jack Abramoff, hooked up with a spiritual advisor (Jack Van Impe) that makes Nancy Reagan's use of an astrologer look nearly normal, and is trying to attack Iran. Oh yeah, he also handed the Democratic Party both houses of Congress and he's on track to electing a Democratic president and a veto-proof supermajority--while a Democratic president with a Democratic Congress gets to shelve his veto pen, a supermajority would let them ram spending bills through with impunity--in both houses of Congress in the next election cycle.

Fantasy or reality: Which would you choose?

[jmowreader]

15. Okay, let me get this straight...

The gist of the story is that because a couple of Arabs--who may not have even worked at the store, but we're meant to assume they did because, after all, it's a CONVENIENCE store and we all know that Rag-Head Ay-Rabs own all the convenience stores in the world--were standing there celebrating the 9/11 attacks, so the Budweiser driver stole all the Bud the store owner had purchased to sell in his store.

That's right. Stole. When a distributor puts a product in a store, you sign the bill of lading and a bill for the product arrives in the mail at the end of the month, assuming you're on credit terms with the distributor. Convenience stores aren't consignment outlets.

[dubyaD40web]

17. You beat me to it.

As a former convenience store owner, you purchase the Bud on delivery. If the Bud person were to walk in the store and take out all Bud products that were already there, that's stealing.
