Idiots.

i would boycott their goods, but i dont need any stupidity and hatred.

Let's play the "Economic Clout" game. America, the world's largest consumer nation, decides to boycott Arab products, versus Arabs, who deal in goat skins and sand. Which will be harmed by mutual boycott? Of course, there's always the oil issue, but we actually do have some options in that arena as well, if the stinking Senate had the stones to let us drill in ANWR.

Nevertheless, analysts cited by The New York Times said sales of fast food and other consumer items were down by 20-30 per cent.

And that fact is due to the large number of arabs working in american fast food joints. Most americans don't want to go and eat, where abdul pees in the secret sauce.

Fear of public markets, brought on by islamic terror, CAN impact our economy... It is a nonspecific form of warfare that not only kills people who are innocent... it also destroys the jobs of the innocents who work with the public. Islam is evil and must be destroyed. We should start with the mosques, and the imams. Take those two out of the equation, and the pukes won't have their "terrorist" command and control system any longer.

The islamic religion has become a low-tech, form of military command and control as well as logistics. They falsely assume we wont kill them in mosques, or kill religious leaders... wrong. They think their arms are safe stockpiled in charity headquarters and hospital facilities... WRONG AGAIN.

We have, we still can and we will soon do whatever it takes to end the "behind women's skirts" warrior tactics of the muslidiots.

Soon.

Cool. I much prefer the company of those who have at least a passing acquaintance with the concepts of personal hygiene.

Arab Anger Triggers Boycott Of Starbucks And Pepsi

Note to self: Pick up some Starbucks coffee and Pepsi.

[jonatron]

Let them eat sand!

[rageaholic]

The call is going out ... over the internet

I guess nobody told them Al Gore invented the internet.

But I am happy they are boycotting our stuff. They can use domestic arab products made from sticks and goat turds.

[aBootes]

Are they boycotting Viagra yet? I saw a comment about a week ago to the effect that if the Arabs embargo their oil and we embargo our Viagra, then the world can watch to see who blinks first. My guess is that the wait could be timed with a stopwatch...

That really is about all they are capable of producing, those scum sucking dirt bags. Sorry, I didn't mean to insult dirt bags who suck scum, but they do.

[Edmund Burke]

Are Starbucks and Pepsi both Jewish controlled companies?

[Mark17]

Let them eat sand!

And drink oil.

[Restorer]

I much prefer the company of those who have at least a passing acquaintance with the concepts of personal hygiene.

For whatever it's worth, Islam is probably more insistent on personal cleanliness than any other religion I can think of.

[tututango]

Now's the time to start big time oil conservation efforts. It'll hurt the arabs where it counts. We could do it voluntarily without government regulation if we applied ourselves to the task.

[tututango]

I guess it depends on what the meaning of 'personal cleanliness' is...

[cowgirlcutie]

Good! Let em boycott! Even better...they can boycott by not coming here anymore. It's a funny thing, they like to say that Americans are hypocrits. They wrote the book on hypocrisy! They hate us, but they like our schools and our products. Jerks!

[MarMema]

I was buying more Pepsi just this morning.

[tututango]

if the stinking Senate had the stones to let us drill in ANWR.

We should really cut back our consumption first. ANWR will take a few years to bring online, but I agree that the senate should do that. I filled up my car tonight and it made me really angry that I'm funding the saudis.

Notice that Starbucks business is still strong. From what I have read, many of the U.S. headquartered food businesses lack good quality control for products sold in the third world. For example, the quality of U.S. branded soda is reputed to be much worse. Just maybe if Pepsi can keep their Arab bottling plants from watering down the stuff, they'll do as well asf Starbucks.

I didn't mean to pick on Pepsi, since I do not know how their quality control compares to, say, Coke. Needless to say, they are hurting themselves more than us and discrediting their cause.
