GOPers WANT WHOOPI'S FAST EXIT (FR MENTIONED)
The NY Post ^

Posted on 07/13/2004 8:14:22 AM PDT by sdk7x7

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.

"Another reason to boycott Slimfast.... and Whoopi obviously doesn't use it!"

I beleive she does use it...It certainly looks like she achieved what slimefast produces....more bowl fuel...She spews it each time she opens her big fat mouth. Her name fits her.

We should end with Whoopi losing her job as spokeA$$ for this company, and now we are aware of its president and his support of Rats.

We can hammer his company enough that it may have to go on the market.

Now we need to investigate their non profit donations to see if his wife and he were in bed with Terry Kerry re donations to phoney non profits, whose mission is hate GW.

From the NY Post article:

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.

From FReeper Republican Red's post here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1170357/posts

Slimfast 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.

Two things come to mind from the NY Post article:

1. We know the NY Post is watching Free Republic pretty closely.
2. Apparently the NY Post is exempt from copyright law and doesn't need to have permission to excerpt from FR?

The Socialist Abraham will be destroyed by free enterprise.

How fitting.

The company will either alienate conservatives or liberals. It's really a no-win for them.

This is why smart companies don't get involved in politics.

Thanks for that interesting link.

When you consider that Mother Jones is first, last and always a front for DNC, socialists/fascists, this is incredible data.

I stole from the Post, the Post didn't steal from me.

I posted the exact quote earlier and attributed it to the Post but after a few times of posting on other Whoopi threads I left out the NY Post link.

Sorry for plagiarizing. It was unintentional.

I agree. The best (safest) spokeperson may be the one who otherwise keeps his or her mouth shut. But given the prerequisite lack of brainpower for dwelling in Hollywood, that would be a very good trend. Besides, the limosine liberals can never just keep their mouths shut.

So the mediots told their people at this orgy of GW hatred not to tape her comments and others.

Really???

I almost sure I heard on my local radio, John Fund mention that it was all on tape

Keep the phone FReep going ...1-800-SLIM-FAST

Hang tough on the line through an error message ... you'll get a very sympathetic representative who will document your complaint. Prayerfully, Her Raunchiness will be sliming down as a result of a nonexistent paycheck.

While you're at it...

The foul mouthed comic is the host of a children's show on Nickelodeon. Who in the world thought that was a good idea!

Here is a link to the show's message board for those who would like to give Nickelodeon some feedback.

I read that somewhere on FR over the weekend, and one of my relatives heard on a local conservative talkshow that reporters who were guests were told not to video tape nor audio tape any of what happened.

They knew that this would be another hate GW Orgy like the Wellstone Funeral. It was, and now it is blowing back into their faces.

Whoopi will take the hit, and we will be called racists. So be it. They call us racists just for breathing.
