Of all the things to get offended at... You have got to be kidding me.

Our Supreme Court and society have allowed tens of millions of abortions
Every mainstream media outlet is an ally of the Islamofascists
Leftists continue to use government schools as tools to taint children with multiculturalism, environmentalism and other leftist dogma
The left wing flat out lies about Social Security, saying that there is no financial crisis and that any reform is a scam to rob the poor or feed the rich
We have a Republican President who makes Bill Clinton look like a penny-pincher
For those transgressions, people get annoyed.

Some stupid broad ineffectively uses a bad analogy to make a useless and unclear point - to an audience of Columbia grads, of all people. For this, we are outraged?

We deserve the society that we end up with.

Best I can tell she said the US gave the world the middle finger by acting alone on Iraq. After the UN scandal I don't know how anyone can stick up for not taking out Saddam. He had the whole world compromised as evidenced by the UN not wanting to enforce it's own resolutions. I don't need some liberal twit from India living off the fat of a US company slamming the very country she has her job with. Just because everyone in the world is diving off the cliff into a 5 foot pool of water doesn't mean we should follow them.

By boycotting Pepsi products, we can actually have an impact. Getting them in the pocketbook is where it really hurts.

I am concerned about all of the other items that you listed, but disloyalty to the country in such a public way by a foreigner who is reaping the benefits of out way of life is over the top.

Sorry to hear about your overload.

But be secure in the knowlege that many of US are capable of dealing with more than one concern at once.

And that no-one has ordered that we or you must drop our concerns about and attentions to all or any of the items on your list as the prerequisite to going after this thread's subject un-and-anti-American.

I agree with you. This is offense looking for a reason, not reasonable anger.

Amen!

One of my greatest fears is that we will end up with an entire structure of right-wing PC that is just as ubiquitous and irksome as the left-wing version. All the outrage over this sounds to me like a step onto that slippery slope.

Useless (except for destructive power) yes, unclear NO -- not if you look at the political undertones. Ms. Annoying Pepsi is being just a little more genteel version of the screaming American antiwar liberal. These business grads will be getting out there, many making fortunes, and all too often wielding a political influence in proportion to their moneys rather than to their wisdom. When propelled by Rat causes, they undercut America a little less than Hanoi Jane, true, but they do undercut America.

all of those things you mentioned deserve our attention and concern, including pathetic types like Ms. Nooyi
we have not ignored these issues--why should we give Ms. Nooyi a pass?
her outrageous comments do not get reported by the press, soooo, let the people, us, do the reporting and reacting--that is a good thing!
just because it is a 'lesser' offense does not mean it should go without notice or retribution

Yeah, it's not like she flushed Koran/Q'uran/Khoraghn down the toilet or anything....
