NOW things are getting interesting!

Good thing it's not Florida. The Sunshine State relies on the snowbirds. ;-)

Like that clown was going to visit or buy anything in Alabama to begin with.

I live near Detroit - and I’m considering packing up and moving to Alabama! Anyplace but MI or NY!

[Arguendo]

LOL, maybe we should boycott Michigan since they want all our taxpayer money.

Oh wait, it looks like no one's buying their stuff anyway.

The last thing we needed were a bunch of union elitist down here anyway. Lets face it, if a UAW boycott impacts the business model of any company down here to the point of making it look like Michigan, that company deserves to fail.

Does that mean the Alabama UAW workers cant go to work or buy cars that have products made from UAW infested suppliers that reside in Alabama. FYI - I worked at several UAW plants, the facts are many (NOT ALL) union employees were being way overpaid for what they did.

if you're not going to support America, we're not going to support Alabama

I don't think that Shelby or people in Alabama can be said to not “support America”

Since when is the freaking Detroit auto industry some sort of flag we should all salute. Are Ford, General Motors or Chrysler somewhere in the Declaration of Independence or Constititution?

Does working in a car plant somehow rise to compare with men and women in the military.

If this is the attitude of autoworkers they have even a higher opinion of themselves than any of us imagined

I think Shelby is saying Americans should not be expected to support industry and unions that are not able to support themselves.

"GM Retiree Wants Alabama Boycott "

I check the stats on Alabama, and I didn't see any real influx of goods and services purchased by Michigan. I guess the boycott has already begun.

Maybe Alabama should put a ban on hiring any ex-UAW workers when they move down to Alabama in search of jobs. You move there, you'll have double-wide payments to keep up, hard to do without a job. And those air conditioning bills...wheewwwwwww...they're a bitch.

Insofar as boycotting Alabama...they won't be getting anymore Chittlins, Rebel Flags, or doublewides shipped up to Michigan. It's hell to be them.

Hell, I wish they would boycott Georgia and stop moving down here in droves.

Now that’s rich. So, we don’t pay our auto workers $75.00 per hour? Hey you yankee jerk, we are trying to make good cars down here (Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Hyundai). Our cars do last over 75,000 miles before falling apart like yours. And yes, we are a right to work state, no unions. So don’t send your $hit down here, and keep your yankee a$$ up there. We don’t need anything from Michigan. Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest.

“if you’re not going to support America, we’re not going to support Alabama.”

Shouldn’t that be “if you are not going to support Michigan, we’re not going to support Alabama”. The only thing Michigan has is bad weather and overpaid workers.

[RetiredArmy]

Dear Jackass in Michigan: We here in Alabama don’t give a tinkers damn if you boycott us or not. JUST STAY UP THERE IN THE FROZEN CHOSEN. We have never needed you here and could care less if you come down here idiot.

[JSDude1]

What if ALL those in America which don’t want a bailout just boycott detroit?

[dead]

Well, just because this jerk said I should boycott Alabama, I'm going to rent a big RV, load it up with seven of my friends and drive to Birmingham December 27-30!!

The fact that Rutgers will be in a bowl game against NC State during this time was also a minor factor in my decision to do this.

Boycott shmoicott - Go RU!

kick it back.
