Anyone else notice how the liberals call anyone who takes offense to this ad “white nationalists” or “white supremacists?”

This ad is as offensive to me as, say, an “Absolut South” ad showing slaves picking cotton or an “Absolut Reich” ad showing Germany’s conquests in WWII. It bothers me that some of my own countrymen don’t see it as I do. They have a national death-wish; I do not.

I stopped drinking any alcohol about a year ago, but might start again just so I can boycott Absolut. :)

Wikipedia is garbage. Glad the word is getting out about it.

I always preferred this Ad, for the Spirit Mountain Casino in Oregon:

DO THIS NOW Every military installation, VFW and American Legion should be notified of Absolut's anti-American stance.

Wherever Absolut rears its ugly head, Americans should speak up. In restaurants, bars, liquor stores....wherever. Someone mentioned Absolut ads in ballparks---Americans should demand Absolut ads be pulled.

Absolut gained notoriety through the years by its stylized print ads designed by artists---they later published a book of the ads. Check to see if your local bookstore carries the Absolut ad book---and tell them you will no longer patronize the store while the book is on its shelves.

Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and I am leery of any use of it.

[piytar]

Image of the add still not up there. Wiki is OK for pure science information and the like, but utterly useless for political/cultural/historical info. given their hard left bias as exemplified by those morons (editors?) orangemike and rabbit.

The funny thing about this whole Reconquista movement is that if Mexico had in fact retained or reconquered the southwest, it would just mean that people would be swimming across the Red River instead of the Rio Grande, and racking up $200 million a year in unpaid medical bills birthing anchor babies in Marietta, Oklahoma instead of El Paso, Texas, and Silicon Valley would be in Colorado instead of California.

I don’t know why Daily Kos was monitoring what we think about this ad.

I think they’re just jealous the map wasn’t the Soviet Union taking over the USA

Liberals are fascists because fascist is as fascist does.

And stiffling any but their own single, approved point of view is one of the hallmarks of fascism.

Wikipedia is pure fiction. Its controlled by leftist bloggers. Its not exactly a source of objective information. As an online encyclopedia, it falls well short of accepted scholarly standards.
