The Hollywood/Madison Avenue cultural axis in action. For the real story of the symbiosis between the advertising industry and radical politics, see Thomas Frank's remarkable cultural history, The Conquest of Cool. This goes back to the 1950s to document exactly why and how anti-American, subversive, and culturally destructive biases came to be the norm within the mass media. It is probably the most important book of the last 10 years. Frank's status as a prominent lefty simply makes his damning indictment of big media all the more credible.

Capitalism and the wealth it produces do not create opportunity for everyone equally. We recognize that the gap between the rich and the poor is wider than at anytime since the 1920's.We strive to create economic opportunities for those who have been denied them and to advance new models of economic justice that are sustainable and replicable.

I never buy that over-priced ice cream and now will make sure I never do.

Ya know, my list of boycotted products is ever growing but I find I don't miss any of them. There's other products out there just as good or better and many lower priced.

I've been boycotting Ben&Jerry's products since the War started because of their giving $$$$$ to anti-war outfits. Anyone else care to join me in the boycott and to urge other to do the same?

I don't buy Ben and Jerry's. I've always hated all that hippie junk.

Ben and Jerry (or one of them) also supported cop killer Mumia.

Commie, America hating, hippie scum.

B & J can't have their 'ice cream' and eat it too.
Boycott B & J!

Ice cream is far too important a part of my diet for me to mix up in politics. The sugar and cream balance feeds my brain, politics starves my brain of oxygen.... I choose ice cream

I think she exposed herself as a total nut job when she said that nuclear weapons were being used in Iraq and that "it would be contaminated until nearly eternity."

B&J ice-cream sucks. Chocolate on their waftle cones taste like wax.

Those are among the reasons I don't buy B&J ice-cream.

This is one of the reaons we eat Braum's or Bluebell for ice cream. I can do without Ben & Jerry's, no need to contribute to their lefty causes.

TrueMajority -- an antiwar group founded by Ben Cohen, one of the creators of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream -- hired Fenton Communications, a Washington public relations firm that has worked intermittently with Sheehan over the past year to coordinate media coverage. [Washington Post, August 13, 2005]

This is the same Ben Cohen who promoted his Oreo cookie theory of the federal budget.

I'm guessing that this gentleman, Ben Cohen, is unaware that the enemy we are fighting would like to create a second Holacaust that would make the first one pale by comparison.
