Reaction to the effigy across the country has been overwhelmingly positive, Cohen said, so much so that he has commissioned a second one to tour.

I would like to see Benny boy roll one of his Bush effigies down my street.

Old Ben is a socialist. Just tell him you are going to borrow "our" trailer for a few months...

"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,'"

But it is polite to haul a 12 ft likeness of them down the road as it burns.

The "Serious Fun" button at the top of Cohen's 'True Majority' homepage shows you exactly what leftist businessmen like Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield are really all about.

Ben Cohen cannot document a single lie that W has told,
unlike Klintoon. He can use his ice cream for an enema
as far as I'm concerned.

Ben and Jerry? Christ, cant they come up with any new lefties? Who is next, Grace Slick and David Crosby?

[Ramius]

These libs are just getting more and more extreme. These folks are certifiable.

Irony is that their "great lie" is that "Bush lied".

[beyond the sea]

the next stop on the Pants on Fire Tour

This ought to be about Sandy Berger.

[Ramius]

Well, they *do* believe in recycling, after all.

Inflamed as in Ben&Jerry's hemorrhoids?! GOOOOOOODDD!

"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,'"

"It's much more polite to mock them in effigy, thousands of miles away."

[Joee]

Ben is also a "three dollar bill." He can shove his ice cream, cones and all.

I wonder how many of Ben's employees got laid off when he sold out to corporate America.

Errata: "Reaction to the effigy accross the county has been overwelmingly positive..."

Mr. Cohen said that next week he will take his display out of San Francisco and across the Bay into Oakland.

I wonder how left wingers ever develop a successful business to begin with.

Hmmm...who's that total babe that used to hang out with Jerry Brown? I sure can't recall her name....but she'd probably qualify.

What IS her name? This is gonna really bug me, and I probably won't sleep a wink tonight until I get it.

... not affiliated with Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream. In 2000, international conglomerate Unilever purchased the ice cream company. Cohen and co-founder Jerry Greenfield now serve as "ambassadors" for the company.

Hmmm, isn't this the same 'Unilever' we just got done writing to concerning Whoopie Goldberg? Looks like its time to just do an outright boycott of all Unilever products. They just don't get it!!!

Unilever brands:
Axe, Bertolli, Birdseye, Cif, Comfort, Domestos, Dove, Family Brand, Findus, Healthy Heart, Heart, Hellman's, Iglo, Knorr, Lipton, Lux, Omo, Ponds, Radiant, Rexona, Signal, Slim fast, Sunsilk, UBF Food Solutions
