Ben & Jerry's co-founder inflamed by Bush
By CHRIS RODKEY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
SPOKANE, Wash. -- Call it the burning Bush.
The co-founder of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream is on the road, towing a 12-foot-tall effigy of President Bush with fake flames shooting out of the pants.
Ben Cohen believes it is an acceptable way to point out what he calls the president's lies.
"In a polite society, you don't go up to a person and look at them in the face and say, 'You're a liar,'" Cohen said in a telephone interview before arriving in Spokane, the next stop on the Pants on Fire Tour.
"We think it's a lot more dignified and there's a lot more decorum to say, 'Excuse me sir, your pants are getting a little warm, don't you think?'" Cohen said.
Girlie-MANgo
They are?? Well it means that the 2 pints of ice cream of theirs in my freezer will be my last purchase.
I think Ben and Jerry sold their company to a big corporation a while back.
The never ending drone of liberals sreeching "Bush Lied...Bush Lied" is REALLY wearing thin with me. Here is a challenge to the demonrats, put up or shut up. The brainless twerps are mesmerized by the traitorous media.
Yes, they sold it to Unilever a couple of years ago. Unilever bought them and Slimfast on the same day. I thought it was ironic :lol: .
The ice cream still carries the name but the Leftie Boys have no control over the company anymore.

Buy Blue Bell. Best ice cream around. Especially the brown rim.
Their so-called ice cream is crap. Hagen-Daasz is better, by factors. B&J's filled with Dioxin and Furan contaminants/ carcinogens.
Two lowlife, subhuman, America-haters, Bush-haters, treasonous, scumbags like Cohen & Idiot, deserve l-o-n-g prison time.
You just found this out? They have been shameless Commies for 25 years.
I went to the B&J website and logged into the "contact us" link with the following comments.
Isn't this a great country? You have the right to parade your "pants on fire" effigy of our President, and I have the right to NEVER buy your products again. Good ice cream, but there are many other good ice creams also.
See ya (as in never again)...
They sold it to Unilever about 4 years ago. Home of SlimFast.
These two are going to be sorta disappointed when the final Iraq report which contains new information which supports Bush's claims comes out in a few days.

In the moments before America was attacked by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001, Ben Cohen, the co-founder of Ben & Jerry's ice-cream kingdom, was begging for a real enemy of the U.S. to show up.
In an ironic and hauntingly prophetic Internet column dated Sept. 4, 2001, Cohen posted an "enemy wanted" ad, hoping that a worthy adversary would soon make itself known to justify President Bush's defense budget:
You may know some despicable characters, but are they mean enough to apply for this job posting?ENEMY WANTED. Serious enemy needed to justify Pentagon budget increase. Defense contractors desperate. Interested enemies send letter and photo or video (threatening, OK) to Enemy Search Committee, Priorities Campaign, 1350 Broadway, NY, NY, 10018. ...
I am distributing a job description as widely as possible to help our politicians find the enemy they seek. Even with the help of defense contractors – who spend $50 million on lobbyists annually – our politicians do not possess the creativity to find the right adversary. It's clear that the old concept of enemy doesn't work anymore.
The trouble is the Defense Department needs to find an enemy in a hurry. The Bush Administration has proposed to increase Pentagon spending by $33 billion, the largest defense increase since the Cold War. ...
Over 40 million Americans, including about 10 million children, have no health insurance.
My enemy search – if successful – would go a long way toward easing the consciences of our politicians who support the fat Pentagon budget, which diverts money from poor children, the environment, and other good things.
As of today, however, my search is not going well. So, I am open to any and all suggestions or leads that you might have. I am, of course on the lookout for the right headhunter, but none has materialized.
If you've got any killer ideas, please let me know.
Now, more than a year since the enemy has made itself known, Cohen is going on a new offensive – icing down the heated path to war with Iraq.
"I would like to know what the imminent threat is to the United States," Cohen said yesterday on CNN's "Talkback Live" program. . . .
"While I love ice cream, I never have and never will buy Ben & Jerry's. Ever."
Me either besides their pricey Ice cream is for the foo foo high brow elitist democrats who think REGULAR ice cream is beneath their fancy pants.

Actually, d!ckweed, that's exactly what you do in order to confront and shame your idols, such as Bill Clinton, Michael Moore and John Kerry. |
I stopped buying their stuff back in 89, when I found out the heap of money they give to the Brady people!
They were soon the darlings of the local media.
Then they went big time and started selling socialism with their Chunky Monkey.
A few odds things occurred after they were millionaires.
First they decided to shut down their day care center for employee's kids at the Waterbury, VT plant because it was too expensive.
Then they fought tooth and nail against an attempt to unionize their St. Albans, VT plant and fired some of the organizers.
Then they sold the whole goddamn shebang to a foreign corporation.
America made the socialists bastards and now they want to destroy the country by putting more socialists in charge.
What with all the lawyers in the USA maybe we should start a few lawsuits blaming their high fat ice cream for the rising incidence of heart attacks and obesity.
What did the Russian comic Smirnoff say: "What a country."
We will survive the B/Js, the other B.J.Streisand, the Ronstadts, the Moores, the Garafolos and the rest of the hateful scum!
You haven't lived until you have had Blue Bell.
