Then They Came For Ben & Jerry's

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream had to figure it would be one of the last firms in America to come under attack from the liberal misinformation complex.

It has created flavors to honor Democrat politicians, contributed to Democrat campaigns and positioned itself well to the left on social and employment issues. It has cultivated an image of the “good capitalist,” which can create jobs, lead in its field and do it all in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.

But when there became a bigger fish to fry, all the loyalty the company thought it had earned suddenly dried up. And now the knives – or at least the ice cream spoons – are out for it.

This is like the Alar scare in the late 1980s, but I had sympathy for the apple farmers driven into bankruptcy by liberal ignoramuses like Meryl Streep. I have no sympathy whatsoever for Ben & Jerry's; as they sow, so shall they reap.

HAHA, laugh post of the day!

First world problem!

Don’t forget Ben & Jerry’s sold out to a multinational in 2000 so it’s quite safe to attack. In fact, it’s practically required, despite the fact the company retains and trades on its progressive image.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Unilever, in a most rich irony.

[Bullish]

Those two butt-humper homos deserve it.

[catnipman]

bj’s ice cream has always been crap, full of artificial thickeners and other chemical crap.

[willk]

Love it.Liberals eating their own. Pun intended.

[ex91B10]

Do they still do the “1% for peace”?

[IncPen]

Unilever was the Dipsy Twits’ sponsor when they badmouthed GWB on an overseas tour.

How’d that work out for Natalie and her friends?

[IncPen]

Oh, and they blamed FR for their troubles.

I’ll accept some of that, thank you.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for Ben & Jerry's; as they sow, so shall they reap.

You may not be aware that Ben and Jerry sold the company years ago.

You can still hate the company though because the company is still run by bleeding heart Liberals.

[from occupied ga]

Couldn’t happen to a nicer more deserving bunch of liberals. My sympathy level for Ben and Jerrys is somewhere between schaudenfreude and negative infinity. F... ‘em

[doorgunner69]

Ia this the east coast ice cream company run by a pair of jewish homosexuals? Notorious for ultra-leftist outlook?

I am supposed to give a damn?

[TexasGator]

LOL! It’s thick because it has cream and is not full of air..tastes great.

[American Quilter]

Don’t forget Ben & Jerry’s sold out to a multinational in 2000...

No, I didn't know that. Thanks, Robwin and Pontiac.

[goldbux]

Here at the Lab, we always refer to them as sanctimonious artery cloggers Ben & Jerry. We never purchase their ice cream.

[Daffynition]

Unlike Haagan Daz, B&Js is still a full pint. For that, I give them credit.

[HenpeckedCon]

I don’t care about their politics. Cherry Garcia is yummy and not just because I’m a rabid “Deadhead”, which I am. It’s good stuff.
