BOYCOTT CINCO DE MAYO


Its a Stinko Goodbye-O to the 2006 Cinco De Mayo


You've heard the news stories. Illegal Mexican Immigrants marching in the streets, demanding amnesty and attacking Americans who want to protect our country by sealing its borders. Tell them to go protest and wave their Mexican flags in their own country.


It's the Americans Turn to Protest ... BOYCOTT Cinco De Mayo

1. I commemorate May 5 by making jokes about the French

:nuke:

[rfranklin]

2. I'll drink a Corona to that!

Pass the fajitas...

[jedicord]

3. How can you boycott a holiday?

By not waking up that day? My head is spinning.

[wryter2000]

7. They'll probably stay out of Taco Bell

That'll show them Messicans. :sarcasm:

[jedicord]

26. But Taco Bell is a US company!

http://www.tacobell.com/

Ow! My head just hit my desk! Ow!

[wryter2000]

35. Exactly

But will they realize that?

[Horse with no Name]

39. You can't mean it!!!!!

The enchirito isn't a traditional Mexican dish????

[SammyWinstonJack]

48. LOL!

[realisticphish]

33. I know!

they can protest by shooting themselves, thus eliminating another celebrant!

:evilgrin:

[Tesha]

4. So, umm, what, like they won't drink a Margarita that day?

So, umm, what, like they won't drink a Margarita that day?

They'll get their daily blotto on good old Jack Daniels instead?

How does one boycott Cinco de Mayo?

Tesha

[sasquatch]

8. No they won't go to taco bell that day

:eyes:

[Virginia Dare]

5. Uh, oh....

the corporate daddy's won't be happy with that, you naughty children.

:spank:

[sasquatch]

6. Do those dumbass, snake handling, crackers know it's an Anti-French-

holiday.

[entanglement]

11. That's an incredible dilemma for the freeps

Hate the French or hate the Mexicans?

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

16. They probably don't realize it's in May.

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

56. Btw, "dumbass, snake handling crackers"

has made laugh OUT LOUD all day.

Thanks, sas

:hi:

[sasquatch]

72. You're welcome

:hi:

[fasttense]

9. I thought the boycott was scheduled for the first of May

Isn't Cinco de Mayo the fifth of May? Or is it planned for all week?

[napi21]

15. I know we always partied on May 5th when I lived in San Antonio.

I was a newbie in town and wasn't quite sure what was being celebrated, but there was a great parade on the river down at the River Walk, and everybody had a great time!

I just checked Wikapedia, and May 1st is different that Cinco de Mayo as far as I can tell.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Day

May Day is a name for various holidays celebrated on May 1 (or in the beginning of May). The most famous of these is International Workers' Day, which is the commemoration of the social and economic achievements of the labor movement. The 1 May date is used because in 1884 the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions, inspired by Labor's 1872 success in Canada, demanded an eight-hour workday in the United States, to come in effect as of May 1, 1886. This resulted in the general strike and the U.S. Haymarket Riot of 1886, but eventually also in the official sanction of the eight-hour workday.

[RaleighNCDUer]

21. And the US Labor Day is the only one in the world celebrated

when it is because the rethugs of the 20s didn't like the idea of celebrating an 'international workers' i.e., commie, holiday.

ON EDIT: It was the rethugs of the 1880s, not the 1920s. As usual, I posted first, then researched.

[imax2268]

10. Fine...

more burritos and Corona's for me...

[ugarte]

12. Boycott Cinco de Mayo, stay home & mow your own grass...nt

[tanyev]

13. They can't boycott something they never celebrated in the first place.

[knitter4democracy]

47. That's what I was thinking.

I mean, seriously--did any of them ever celebrate it or even know what it's about?

[geniph]

66. They don't even know what frigging DAY it is!

Clue bus coming through - um, Cinco? Like FIVE, maybe? But these dimwits are talking about "protesting" on the first of May.

Just HOW stupid can they BE? This has GOT to be satire, it just HAS to be. I can't tell anymore!

[knitter4democracy]

70. Oh, you're kidding me.

Seriously--they're protesting on the wrong day? It has to be a joke.

[MadHound]

14. Like they observe Cinco de Mayo anyway!

These fools don't even observe this holiday, so what good is a boycott:shrug: There will be no economic repurcussions from this, it will not be noticed in the least bit. All that will happen is a bunch of freepers will be having a circle jerk on May 5, while loudly proclaiming this "boycott"

[zbdent]

17. This from the people who think that Taco Bell

is authentic Mexican food . . .

[Renew Deal]

20. Do you remember?

Our beloved DU member Tyler Durden predicted that the freeptards would call for boycott of Taco Bell if the Spanish socialists won the elections after the bombings. The socialists won and the freeperville called for boycott of Taco Bell.

[zbdent]

23. Mrs. ZBDent once had authentic "salsa" in Cancun

and did a Julia Roberts collagen injection impression . . . I felt her pain from 5 feet away . . .

[windy252]

57. lol

I did that once with the "cool" sauce in a restaurant in New Mexico.

[EFerrari]

25. It's breathtaking, really.

:rofl:

[stevietheman]

18. OK...now I will make a special point to celebrate May 5! n/t

n/t

[Renew Deal]

19. Those fucktards need to lay off the Tequila

So I say go for it freeperville! Don't let the Taco Bell door hit you in the ass.

[Dr. Death]

22. They're all going to fly French flags!

Oh, wait minute...never mind.

[Julius Civitatus]

24. Will they boycott St. Patrick's Day, Columbus Day, Mardi Gras too?

Or are they ONLY boycotting the ethnic holidays of brown people?

God, are these people stupid!!!

[DBoon]

27. If they want to take my margarita away

they will have to pry it from my cold, dead, salt-encrusted hands

[ceile]

45. Don't forget the Cuervo, too!!

They can't have my Mexican shot glasses!!

[acmejack]

28. Good, who wants them screwing up an otherwise good time

for all the rest of us? Pass the Tecate, please...

[ninkasi]

29. It must be depressing to be a Freeper

The office I worked in before I retired loved to celebrate any holiday, because it was a good excuse to bring food and have a god time. We celebrated Cinco de Mayo, Juneteenth, St. Patrick's Day, and any other holiday that came up. Since we were working, we all brought dishes, set them out on a long table, then filled our plates before lunch or breaks.

We played appropriate music, sometimes wore things that suited the holiday being celebrated, and just had a good time in general. We were in a union, so the vast majority of us were democrats, and rather than get mad because it was another country's holiday, we had a good time. Republicans must be the most miserable people on earth, because they spend so much time consumed in hatred of so many people.

[Ganja Ninja]

38. They are the living embodiment of the term "kill joy ".

Their idea of having fun is going to a lynching.

Every time I look over their site I get a feeling of utter disgust that's hard to describe. It's like looking at bad porn where the participants are particularly revolting. It triggers a gag reflex and makes you just want to turn away.

[northzax]

30. think they know

that Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that is really only celebrated in the US, it was manufactured from a minor celebration by US companies? That it's a bigger deal in New Mexico than Mexico City?

[Bridget Burke]

40. Cinco de Mayo was NOT manufactured by US companies.

It is not a major holiday in most of Mexico but was adapted by Mexican-Americans as an opportunity to express their pride.

Just as Irish-Americans started having parades on St Patrick's Day--originally a strictly religious day in the Old Country.

[northzax]

43. the hype was invented by US companies

it is US companies that made it into a big deal in the US, for everyone outside the southwest. that's what I meant.

[Bridget Burke]

51. Well, I live in Texas....

Cinco de Mayo is NOT a recent invention here.

General Zaragoza, who won the battle, was born in what is now Goliad, Texas.

[northzax]

54. well, I was in Ohio and Oregon

and the only Cinco de Mayo I ever knew was at Taco Bell, until I moved to LA, that is.

[northofdenali]

31. Let 'em bring it on!

They touch my Corona, I'll bust their pinatas! What idiots.

[Mr_Spock]

32. Freepers mount war

start humping it

[wryter2000]

36. Ding, ding, ding!

We have a winner! :rofl: :applause: :woohoo: :yourock:

[Mr_Spock]

37. lol

I hate it when I laugh at my own jokes :rofl:

[JNelson6563]

34. This makes me want to learn Spanish

;-)

[maveric]

41. A Craigslist poster spoke of boycotting Taco Bell.

Like thats anything "Mexican".

[peacebaby3]

42. According to my friends from Mexico, Cinco de Mayo really isn't that

big of a deal in Mexico. It's celebrated more by Americans. They say it is celebrated but mostly in Pueblo. The real celebration in Mexico is Sept. 15th, Mexican Independence Day.

I'm sure it want bother the Mexicans at all if the Fweepers boycott Cinco de Mayo. :rofl:

[ceile]

44. It's Sept. 16th-Mex Independence Day

[peacebaby3]

50. Oops. It is 16th. My nephews birthday is the 15th. Sorry about that. n/t

[Catrina]

65. Oops, this could cause confusion in Freeperville ~ Constitution Day is

Sept. 17th!! :rofl:

[slackmaster]

46. Google Battle of Puebla

:nuke:

[peacebaby3]

52. Why? I already know about the Battle of Pueblo. n/t

On edit:

I guess you are trying to correct my spelling of Pueblo to Puebla. I've seen it spelled with either an "a" and "o", but I will not argue over which one is correct.

Was that the purpose of your post?

[slackmaster]

53. I figured if you didn't know how to spell it you didn't know much about it

The Battle of (Acoma) Pueblo happened in 1599.

Actually it was more of a massacre.

;-)

[peacebaby3]

55. LOL. Being a little anal today, are we? Actually, I'm not familiar with

the battle (massacre) in 1599. I'll have to read up on it.

:7

[slackmaster]

58. I prefer "pedantic"

But if anal is your bag, that's fine with me.

[peacebaby3]

59. Hmmmm....

I think I like you. :loveya:

[Rocknrule]

49. I'm suddenly reminded of a Beavis and Butthead episode

Spanish teacher: "I'm gonna give you little bastards 10 seconds to say a sentence in Spanish, and if you can't, you're going to the principal's office!"
Butthead: "Uh, rendoporacomoblablablaricosuave"
Beavis: "Um, taco supreme!"

[uppityperson]

60. don't use any mexican words that day?

don't wear green, red or white that day?
I know, don't wish anyone a happy cinco de mayo?

[Momgonepostal]

61. "I would like to start the boycott of Cinco De Mayo by...

... not buying any calendars that list it as a holiday."

Boy, that'll sure teach those Mexicans! :sarcasm:

Geez, FReepers are stupid. Does it hurt to be that dumb?

[guinivere]

62. Good grief! We are barely over the stress

of the War on Easter, and now this.


Aren't they ever happy? I think they need to pour a bunch of tequila down their throats and dance 'til dawn. Might lighten them up a little. Or at least give them debilitating hangovers.

[Momgonepostal]

63. Now this takes the cake:

From the FReeper thread:

"Have you ever talked to them?

They really don't get it. If they were intelligent enought ot get it, they'd have stayed home and fixed their own country instead of trying to bring ours down to their level."

Ummmm, aren't MOST Americans descendents of immigrants, if not immigrants ourselves?

[FredScuttle]

64. "bring ours down to their level"?

Is Mexico bogged down in an unwinnable, interminable war in the Middle East? No? Get me to Tijuana...stat!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

67. Hate to break it to you, but that argument has been used here at DU

the "they are too lazy to fix their own country, they're going to turn us into a 3rd world country" argument.

[Momgonepostal]

68. Well, then it's stupid here, too

I've missed those posts, and I think they're ridiculous.

[Bridget Burke]

73. "Mexicans Never Protest"....

Hint: This is not LA

[Initech]

69. I'll drink a tequila shot to that!

:beer:

[KharmaTrain]

71. Classic Racist Circular Firing Squads

Not sure what's more amusing...the ignorance or the chickenshit arrogance that departs the moment their fingers leave the keyboard.

Here's hoping the work on organizing a Mexican workers boycott...ALL Mexican workers happens. I'd love to see these asshats bitching about how they can't get their lawns mowed, poor restaurant service and so on.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

74. Does ANYONE there actually claim to be Hispanic, or any other non-white

ethnicity?

If so, what do they say when these racist xenophobic threads arise?

[obreaslan]

75. Yes, Boycott Mayo!!!! Dry Turkey Sandwiches for everyone!!!!!!!!

I will Boycott the whole Sinko of Mayo!!!!

:evilgrin:

[giant_robot]

76. I'm sure Chi-Chi's restaurant chain is trembling in fear...

...what will they do with all of those unsold strawberry margaritas and fiesta platters? :rofl:
