Ben & Jerry's "Pants on Fire" tour

"In a polite society, you don't go up to a person and look at them in the face and say, 'You're a liar,'" Cohen said in a telephone interview... "We think it's a lot more dignified and there's a lot more decorum to say, 'Excuse me sir, your pants are getting a little warm, don't you think?'" Cohen said.

So, Ben Cohen, one of the co-founders of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, is traveling around the U.S. with a huge statue of Bush that has (fake) flames shooting out its ass.

You have just lost a large group of customers.
We do NOT support or buy the products of people
who cater to one political party period.
We purchase a product not ask for your opinion
Do you feel you ar celebraty enough to force
your views on America?
DO YOU NOT REMEMBER THE DIXIE who CHICKS????
did you see Ronstadt get booed out of the Aladdin?

I was a Democrat once.
These kinds of things and a few 0 moral men who
evidently thought they were KING not president,
changed my mind.

Keep politics and service to your customers
separate Or wewe will find a better product.
Thank you

When's it coming to S. CA? Smiley I think it's great the way people find creative ways to express their opinion and I believe that everybody has the right to express their opinion whether they are a celebrity or not. What I don't like are people who express their opinion using bad grammar and bad spelling...yikes!

To Barbara A.

Ronstadt "getting booted out of the Alladin," sounds to me like the basis of a nice lawsuit against the casino/hotel. Did they also take action against the customers who threw drinks and ripped up posters? All these actions against Americans speaking their mind as guaranteed by the Constitution smacks of the second coming of McCarthyism.

"Proud to be a real Christian", how humble of you, I am sure JC would not approve. Our actions speak of our humanity not vicious comments like yours.

An employer firing his exployee because that employee made his customers unhappy "smacks of the second coming of McCarthyism"? A little melodramatic, don't you think? (I bet you think Whoopi's first amendment rights were violated as well?)

On what basis would Ronstadt file a lawsuit (assuming she's been paid whatever she was owed)?

I don't know what Barbara's idea of being a "real" christian is, but I'm guessing it means trying to discourage people from expressing their opinions and from trying to build a better America. Gosh, we should just keep our opinions to ourselves and let our capable government do whatever it thinks is best for us. BTW, if people who own a business should refrain from expressing an opinion ( incidently, it's not a Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream trailer, it is Ben the American's trailer ), how do you feel about your church preaching politics? )

If you really understood what this country was founded upon, you would realize that it is Ben's right ( and responsibility ) to speak up when a group of right wing lunatics have hijacked the principles and rights that the Constitution and Bill Of Rights have bestowed on us.

Perhaps it would better if you just ate Kraft products and shopped at WalMart like a "good christian" and leave the satanic Chunky Monkey to us flaming liberals.
