July 13, 2004 -- WASHINGTON — Some Republican activists are launching a boycott of SlimFast diet products to protest SlimFast spokeswoman Whoopi Goldberg's X-rated rant against President Bush at a New York fund-raiser for Democrat John Kerry last week. Chat pages on pro-Bush Web sites like FreeRepublic.com are posting links for complaints to SlimFast or parent company Unilever, along with reports from angry consumers about what they wrote in their complaints.
A typical one: "Realize that when Goldberg insults our president, particularly in such a vulgar fashion, she alienates half the country . . . Can SlimFast really afford to lose half of their potential market?"
SlimFast executives yesterday didn't respond to questions about whether they intend to keep Goldberg as spokeswoman. Company president F. Daniel Abraham is a major Democratic donor who, with his wife, has given $1.2 million to groups working to defeat Bush.

So.....what's wrong with that? I'm sick of these "actors" being treated as if they are the intelligencia of this country. Truth is, Hollyweird is the major reason the world (especially Muslims) hate us. I have traveled abroad. I can assure you that the picture most of the world has of this country (over sexed, drugged out, criminals with naked women running all over the place)is what they get from Hollyweird. Obviously, they see the "true picture of America" on the big screen and TV.....so "President
Bush has to be lying that it is a great country".
IMO Costco makes nothing. They probably but it "private label" from Slimfast.
I think that it will work both ways. Eventually, it probably means that anyone who is a known conservative will not be able to get these endorsements either. I dislike what I see coming out of Hollywood as much as you do. But I don't like employment--of any type--based on a person's belief system.
I don't know how they handle their Kirkland brand, I assume that they contract with different companies to produce the different products?--but they are often considerably better than the name brands with which we are more familiar.
Good Work Jenya!
Whoopi the Doo Doo Mouth will probably be flushed down the Slime Fast Toilet in a couple of weeks.
However, that will leave the big time donor to the lunatic libs, still there as president.
Uni Lever seems to have a secret desire to own companies that do these arrogant things like:
Lipton Tea and the Dixie Foul Mouth Chickens
Ben and Jerry's, I can put down what I feel about these two losers.
Abraham is a big donor. However, Unilever owns slimfast and a lot of other consumer product lines. They should feel the heat too. Unilever is a British/Dutch Company.
http://www.newsmeat.com/ - a handy dandy search engine for campaign contributions.
As I posted above, Uni Liver owns Lipton Tea which uses the Vile Mouth Dixie Chickens as their spokesits.
Then, they own Ben and Jerry's who are long time and big donors to the rats. I would starve before I ate a single bite of their ice cream.
I will do more of a search on them and check with Mad Ivan about their political stances in the UK.
Whoopi should be encouraged to compare her genital regions to President Bush in front of live microphones at every opportunity. You just can't buy this kind of positive publicity for W's reelection campaign.
Below is the website for Uni Lever:

Besides the Dove and various food brands, Uni Lever owns Ben and Jerry's and Dreyers Ice Cream.
My pleasure. :^D
Thanks that is a great site.
The link below is a great page of celebs. Now whenever, a celeb attack GW or conservatives, I can go to this page and see how much they have contributed to the Rats over the years.
This is the best site of all:

When I tried to find the president of Slim Fast on that site, I couldn't find it.
So I sent them this email:
I'm not able to locate the President of Slim Fast. He has contributed over 700,000 $'s to the Democrats.
Why is this not showing up, and why isn't he listed as a corporate big giver?
Yes, that is entirely possible.
It's long past time,that WE take the gloves off and fight back.This IS something all of us can and should be doing...together.
You did GREAT! :-)
I don't intend to be cruel, honest this is just an observation. I have always thought ET & Whoopie were seperated at birth. And I won't even begin to tell you what I believe the artists studied to come up with ET's facial features.
