And Bud supported the Gay Games.
It's all beer, it's all good. Even if everyone on FR boycotts Miller, they would hardly notice. It's the perceived threat of indignant controversy that can worry corporate types. They fear most being exposed in the MSM as actively appeasing illegal immigration. The most effective thing we can do is to take the time to email Miller and better yet, write local letters to the editor condemning this support of illegals. They have already decided who they want to buy their beer.
They (the protestors) don't seem to be getting their wish for media coverage this weekend, at least not that I've seen on cable. Locally, anyone?
Not if its Miller. Their beers are easy to boycott, cuz they all suck!
I received this e-mail about an hour ago:

6. Call your local bars, stores, pubs, clubs, and beer sellers and ask them to discontinue purchase and sales of Miller Brewing Products.
7. Purchase some of our Boycott Miller stickers and give them to friends, bar patrons, or stick them up in places where beer consumers will see them.
8. Go to bars and comment loudly to your friends so other patrons can hear you say, "No don't buy me a Miller! They support illegal aliens, and I won't give one red-cent to Miller! Why would I want to buy beer from a company that sells out American values?!?!"
