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.

Very well stated.
I think this could have another effect. Probably, either way Slimfast could lose here. The company will either alienate conservatives or liberals. It's really a no-win for them. I think that maybe in the future, companies will chose spokespeople more carefully. That could mean that anyone, regardless of their beliefs, that have well-known political beliefs (maybe even religious ones) will have a tough time getting such endorsements, unless the company itself takes a strong stand on the issues.
Whoopi was on Slimfast? Hmm, guess it didn't do much to help her fat head.
Daniel Abraham will be looking for a new job in a year!!
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.
Now we need to identify those groups and see how many campaign violations were made.
Abraham is probably one of the elite JINO's who hates America and Israel. He is definitely an enemy of America and GW.

"companies will choose spokespeople more carefully."
The "keep your mouth shut" clause will be standard in contracts.

Another hate filled Black no talent Racist, Danny Glover lost his spokes position with a telephone company earlier this year.
Neither Glover nor Whoopi have any talent left if they ever had any.
It is an old Follywood stunt to come out hating America and GW or Reagan when your talent has left. The insures them a market for their non talent in France, Germany and Ireland.
Have they released the tape of this DNC love fest yet???
Sent a copy of the article to Drudge, let's see if he posts...
With less than one cup of coffee, it appears to be about 700,000.
This is another example of why congress needs to put a political action/donation ban on all non profits. Most of the non profits today in America are just fronts for anti Republican/Conservative candidates and concepts.
Abraham is probably a Jino who hates Israel even more than he hates America and GW.
I demanded an apology from the company and the firing of that low class bum, Goldberg!
No they haven't nor will they.
Apparently the DNC knew that Whoopi who uses her fat Pie Hole instead of her fat mouth was going to be over the line.
So the mediots told their people at this orgy of GW hatred not to tape her comments and others.
Enuff said.
