Besides, now that they merged w/ the Nazi company, they should be boycotted anyhow. No telling what percentage of the profits finds it way into their Arab surrogates hands in order to finance the Final Solution.

Amen. Every penny paid for a Chrysler product goes back to Berlin, to Schroder and his America-hating, Muslim-loving pals. Let them f-off.

Also don't Buy BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Siemens, Braun, or even Bayer, if you can help it.

[jla]

Oh well! LOL

[Tigercap]

I am with you! That is the type of "protest" that is effective, imo.

[Taxman]

Thank you. We can do this, you know!

[chilepepper]

Well, I have a JEEP, but fortunately it is a 1982 CJ-7 built by...

AMERICAN MOTORS

...and not by a company associated with the ex-Nazi homeland...

[sultan88]

Man, I feel for ya! LOL

If you DO find Mr. Fountain's email address, feel free to give him this message for me: "You (and the six-figure salary you no doubt receive for being a such a "racy" guy) can kiss my FReeper a$$!"

This particular subject was just discussed on O'Reilly. I wonder how many people e-mailed him about this. Someone a couple of days ago thought that O'Reilly would not pay any attention to the D-C imbroglio, au contraire. The O'Reilly audince is fairly large. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a very large stink, ala Morgan-Stanley Dean Witter.

Ah yes Chrysler who was bailed out by our government...

Cheney opposed the bailout on the house floor...

Former Chrysler executive Lee Iacocca, in his autobiography, expressed his gratitude for the decision supporting Chrysler: "There is no question in my mind that if there had been a Republican administration in 1979, Chrysler wouldn’t be around."

If you want to really get back at Chrysler contact their Investor Relations and tell them you will be selling your stock as you anticipate their company being boycotted...

"Senior Vice President for Government Affairs"?

What kind of title is that - is that with D-C? If so, it sounds like a euphemism for being the minister of bribes.

[rolling_stone]

"Senior Vice President for Government Affairs"? They probably made that "position" when Clinton was in office...

This is easy. Don't buy any Daimler-Chrysler product. I'd be unlikely to anyway, but now for sure I won't.

You got that right. Chrysler's cars and trucks are garbage, anyway. My company had several Dakota pickups that we leased as company vehicles. Total crapwagons - those things spent as much time in the shop as they did on the job. Everyone in the company was happy to see the last of those things go away.

My mom had a '95 Neon up until about 2 years ago - it ran OK until it hit about 80,000 miles, then just fell apart. Total POS. This conservative can't be that myopic - I can see well enough to tell you that anyone who buys a Chrysler product has just spent their money on a rolling turd.

[Madcelt]

Isn't Daimler-Chrysler A GERMAN COMPANY? So yea Boycott Herr Schroeders Businesses!!

[LaineyDee]

I'm sure that my wife will be more than content to settle for a new Toyota rather than subsidize an executive who believes our deepest held values are "myopic".

Wasn't it at the "shakedown" Toyota meeting last year that Jackson's thug son roughed up the B.O.N.D. chairman, Peterson......for asking why they donated to Rainbow PUSH and not other worthwhile black organizations?

[Caipirabob]

I think Toyota actually has backed off the deal now. I saw something scanning through FR so I can't verify it.

Still, I've had so many issues between GM and Ford, and I've accidentally broken handles off new Chryslers in the new car lot while just looking (we left rather quickly...)

Toyota and Lexus are the most reliable cars I've ever driven. In the end, my decision will come down to what I feel is better for my family. I've never known Chrysler to be anything but garbage and on top of this, if nothing else it places them beyond consideration now.

As for the "Revrund" I think a lot of corporations are "rethinking" their deals with him right now. Who can afford to cater to him, he's blown most of his political capital just keeping out of jail I suspect at this point.

[Las Vegas Dave]

DON'T BUY CHRYSLER-ping!

[LaineyDee]

I hafta stick with an old faithful Buick...*chuckle* I had Dodges many years ago.....and they were good, sound cars....BUT they just don't make 'em like they used to.

The more Jackson is exposed with his corporate shakedown schemes.....the better off we all are, for consumers are paying the price in the long run.

[aristeides]

Maybe it was that incident that persuaded Toyota to sever the connection. I did read a thread here on FR (a letter to Daimler by some Christian group, as I recall) that said that Toyota has been persuaded not to donate any longer to Jackson.

[LaineyDee]

Toyota backed off? I must of missed that! I say... good for them. It's time we stop the racial extortion of these companies....who in turn ...have to pass the expenditures on to the consumer. I hate the thought of one penny of my hard-earned cash being put in Jackson's filthy pockets.
