Jesus..I knew Hannity fans were dumb, but this pretty far out.

[dixiegrrrrl]

Keurig Coffee Makers pulled their Hannity ads because of Roy Moore support by Hannity.

so Hannity fans are smashing their Keurig coffee makers and sending Hannity pics of what they did.

I saw it mentioned on Twitter and went to Google, lots of news about it came up.

I don't know how much those makers cost, but I hope they don't start boycotting cars.

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. remember all of those who burned their Beatles albums after John's "Jesus" interview?

There have always been fools who make utterly idiotic decisions against their best interests.

Cults are scary!

[Jim Beard]

14. It was a radio station in Alabama that started it.

[NRaleighLiberal]

15. how appropriate!

[Jim Beard]

64. Here is the You Tube of the

Birmingham radio station.

69. Maybe you can edit you post to add that Hannity is encouraging this

EDIT: I just tweeted to some jerk on Twitter about how much a poor person could have used the Keurig he just smashed and how The Salvation Army GoodWill and other church thrift shops would have loved to have that on their shelves.

[Angry Dragon]

3. i have seen $100

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. Ok..it is clear to me we have chances...if we play our cards right....

to see how far this "destroying your own property to make a point"....goes.

Just imagine...

[Hortensis]

38. :) Don't bother hoping. This is like bra burning.

Almost the entire thing was misogynist promotion pretending it was a real phenomenon.

330 million people -- someone out there's wearing his Keurig on his head.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. I don't think these numpties understand what a boycott is.

You're supposed to stop buying things from a vendor or manufacturer whose actions you don't approve of. Destroying things you have already bought doesn't hurt anybody but you. You smashed your Keurig in a fit of pique so now you don't have a coffee maker and you have to go out and buy another one - not a Keurig, but you still have to spend money on a coffee maker. Idiots.

By the way, Ford has also pulled its ads from Hannity's show, so are these knuckledraggers going to bust up their Ford pickups, too?

[dixiegrrrrl]

9. So funny...Ford boycott

This place is loaded with F-410s or whatever they are. Wonder how many nuts will set fire to them?

[Maraya1969]

72. Or personally drive them into a brick wall

[Irish_Dem]

6. I wanna smash my Keurig because it makes terrible coffee. Give me a regular coffee pot any day.

But I will refrain from smashing it this week to avoid looking like an wing nut.

[trc]

21. I bought one of the aftermarket baskets that let you use your own coffee,

makes more sense...and cents to do this. I drink 10 or more cups a day and really hate old coffee (but I have had bad cups of coffee in places where any coffee will do) and find the control of one cup at a time, as strong as I want, to be a great thing.

[cannabis_flower]

56. I went a step further

I use a Merlita coffee cone and a Pyrex measuring cup. It's a single cup coffee maker that costs less than $4.00. Keirig coffee makers are a gigantic waste of money and counter space.

https://www.google.com/shopping/product/9108638552204354985?lsf=seller 815,store:14250832670215327294&prds=oid:6174993759294347893&q=merlita+coffee+bed+bath+and+beyond&hl=en&ei=-6cJWua0Ks2YjwOLhbHYCw&mcid=PS_googlepla_brand_brand_local&lsft=gclid:CjwKCAiAoqXQBRA8EiwAIIOWssehi_FOjGJAIVzgXRVy1dgK5Tiu7OJWftsL3au-4hu7MetMTCigOhoC6NwQAvD_BwE

[Irish_Dem]

59. Wow, this is also worth a try. Some great suggestions.

How does the finished product compare to coffee for brewed coffee?

[cannabis_flower]

62. Don't know

Since I don't drink coffee. But my husband likes it. I would guess the same as Keurig with the reusable cup, they are both pour over coffee makers. You also have to buy coffee filters. There is a size that specifically fits this but they are more expensive. I just use the 12 cup basket size ( $2 for 200). You can get the Merlita at Bed Bath and Beyond for $3.99.

[Irish_Dem]

63. Thanks will give it a try. nt

[trc]

66. I have also used the drip filter system

and found it wasteful and time consuming. Keurig uses a system where hot water is forced through the cup of grounds, some what like a french press, but much less mess. A personal choice on my part. I like that the Keurig is always ready to produce a cup of coffee and I don't need to worry about heating water separately. I bought the less expensive Keurig with the water tank on the side and have been very happy with it. The only draw back for me is the small amount of sediment left at the bottom of the cup, but I know its there and simply leave a tablespoon of undrunk coffee at the bottom of each cup. I do not use the K-cups because they are ridiculously expensive and incredibly waste generative.

[Irish_Dem]

58. I find the regular Keurig expensive. Will look for the kind of machine you describe.

I drink about 4 cups regular and then a couple of cups of decaf a day.
I don't smoke or drink, so it is my only indulgence.

You make a good point about a fresh cup of coffee each time.

I do miss the smell of brewing with Keurig, that seems part of the coffee experience.
I also don't like the plastic containers the Keurig coffee comes in.
I wonder about the possible effects of drinking plastic every day.

Thanks for the tip!

[Irish_Dem]

73. OK trc, I bought a cute little basket for my Keurig and honest to god coffee.

Will try it tomorrow am. Will fill it tonight.

So the Keurig doesn't get smashed quite yet.

I then can try the other suggestion, the cone.

[pansypoo53219]

35. yes. terrible coffee. i really tried, but nothing helped. then i figured it out. k-cups

are never fresh ground or recent. all old. my old drip-o-later stove top pot works great.

[Irish_Dem]

61. I remember those. My cousin still uses one.

Makes great coffee.

[TlalocW]

7. Early Bloom County

Had a character named Otis Oracle, who was the Moral Majority's field scout for Bloom County. In one storyline he led a book and record burning so he and his followers went to the local record store to buy some salacious material with Otis asking the clerk about Blondie - something like...
Otis: Ah, Blondie. Is she laden with moral turpitude?
Clerk: Moral...?
Otis: Turpitude. Is she laden with it?
Clerk: I don't know, man, but she is one wicked chick!
Otis: Super! We'll take 30 dozen!



TlalocW

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. I remember that!

Bloom County guy is on Facebook, I recall, still churning out toons.

70. dear dear Opus....

thanks for the heads up..I don't do Facebook very often these days.

[Grassy Knoll]

8. Everybody Knows Hannity Fans Are Window Lickers..

...Pointing At Them And Laughing Is Gratifying, It's like
Getting 2 sausage McMuffins in the Drive Thru and paid for 1.

[Glamrock]

16. It's unreal in't?

I know a bunch of guys that, outside of politics, you can have intelligent conversations with. I mean, they're smart guys. But it seems like fox news and am radio short-circites the ole logic chip. Plus they never hear the logical side of the argument. And worse, they agree with me on 50-60% of issues. But you can't get past the propaganda they're programmed to regurgitate.

[33taw]

10. I am going to go buy a Kuerig tomorrow.

[NCjack]

11. Keurig Coffee Makers generate millions per day of those plastic

containers with 1 single dose of coffee. The machine uses each one of them once, and then it is off to the dump. Solid waste managers hate them. They are filling our dumps with plastic that will take hundreds of years to deteriorate. So, we should thank the Hannity fans for destroying their Keurig Coffee Makers -- and the environment thanks them, also.

[exboyfil]

13. Yep and that is how they hurt Keurig

They make their money on the containers.

You would think they would come up with an environmentally friendly option. I guess they did it is called a glass jar and a spoon. I don't drink coffee so I don't know how much better the Keurig is. We have two at work that seem to be down for extended periods.

[Zambero]

26. Empty re-usable containers are now available for Keurigs

You fill them with coffee, pop the top on, brew, empty the grounds when done, then re-use again. Been using them for a couple of years and it's also great because you get to choose the coffee grind, not the manufacturer. Cheaper too.

[NCjack]

54. I was unaware. I withdraw my broad brush indictment of Keurig. The re-use container is "green".

But, if you use the disposable ones, you are part of the solid waste problem. And, those who destroy their perfectly functioning Keurig machines instead of switching to the "green" containers, you are fools. (Zambero: thanks for your comment.)

[Lee-Lee]

39. I have had a little single cup brewer tgatbuses regular grounds since before the Keurigs existed

Still have it at the office.

It was inexpensive then and the cost compared to e Keurig to make a cup is pennies. Only thing you have to do is clean the little stainless filter basket between cups instead of just throwing away the plastic- but im not that lazy that I can’t do that.

[csziggy]

20. That's why I would never buy a Keurig - all that waste

I have two single serve coffee makers - a Hamilton-Beach and a Proctor Silex. Each can make a single cup of coffee with straight grounds. The Proctor-Silex can use single serve Keurig type cups, but the attachment for that has never seen the inside of the machine. Neither use paper filters - they have re-usable mesh filters.

Some friends have Keurig and have offered me coffee from theirs. I always turn it down. The waste offends me.

[Zambero]

27. U-Fill-Ums solve that problem

See above post.

[csziggy]

29. I looked at that possibility but I like my two machines better

Each of them just has a scoop to be filled, nothing fancy, easy to do even when I am one handed.

The only reason I have two is that for a while the Hamilton-Beach refused to sense that there was water in the machine. I soaked it in vinegar, left it for several months and my husband messed with it last week as a last effort and got it going again.

But while the H-B was on strike, the Proctor-Silex was the only single serve that met my needs available locally. It's OK but not as easy to use as the H-B.

I also have a twelve cup H-B BrewStation that holds coffee in a vat and keeps it warm for two hours. That is the machine I use when I have guests. But it doesn't like making less than five cups - far more than I need in a day.

[crazycatlady]

46. My Keurig was free

My cousin upgraded his so he gave me the old one.

I bought a reusable K-cup ($5-$10) and use my own coffee.

The grounds go into the garden.

[tosh]

12. That's hilarious!

Smashing Keurigs!

[GallopingGhost]

50. I saw them in concert once. n/t

[Kablooie]

17. I just read that Russian propaganda has been pushing the Keurig boycott.

Suggestions to smash your coffee maker probably come from them.
Any Americans that take the suggestion seriously deserve whatever problems they cause for themselves.

[Buns_of_Fire]

40. They've been pissed for years that Keurig outsells Comrade Coffee.

Even with the included polonium injector. I found you can't get polonium on Amazon. Rip off.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

55. Can we get the Russians to push a Ford truck smashing?

Let's remind these folks of their rampant hypocrisy.

[Initech]

18. They are truly beyond stupid. Animals behave better than this.

[GallopingGhost]

19. So now they're without

their covfefe makers, Jones is going to beat Moore, and they're all still dumb as rocks. OK.

[dixiegrrrrl]

23. I have had people down here look me right in the face and tell me the dumbest shit

and swear the Bible told them it was true, so there!!

I never ever argue with any of them, it's a waste of breath.

[GallopingGhost]

49. I believe it.

Fake Christians have always used the Bible to justify the unjustifiable.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

24. Turns Out I've Been Boycotting The Newspaper For Years

I just thought I bought it and then threw it away when I was done reading it. Turns out that when you throw something away AFTER you've already bought it, it's a boycott. Who knew?

It seems I've been boycotting all kinds of stuff over the years. Food wrappers, toilet paper, junk mail. I'm like the king of boycotts over here.

[murielm99]

28. Just think of all those landfills,

filled with boycotts past!

[rusty quoin]

25. I drink less coffee than I use to. I would drink a whole pot.

Now I drink a cup and have a Keurig. If they came out against Toby Keith, I would crush it. I would crush and smash all coffee. I would start to drink tea, because caffeine no longer makes a difference in my life.

If Earl Grey came out against Toby Keith, I would rip open all my wife’s tea and tell her it was for the best. Because Toby Keith is all about good music and about American freedom of speech.

I don’t know where I’m going with this, but piss on Toby Keith and God bless the Dixie Chicks.

[Thekaspervote]

30. I hope they do start boycotting cars!

Just think of those pics!!!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

31. As it happens, Keurig is probably the very most expensive

way to make coffee. I think I read that it works out to about seventy dollars a pound. Maybe more.

I find Maxwell House Instant makes a highly acceptable coffee, and it probably works out to ten cents per cup.

I'll admit that high end, expensive coffee is wasted on me. And probably on most people.

[Demsrule86]

45. I am a coffee fanatic...and the thought of instant makes me queasy haha.

I have a high end espresso maker ...also makes regular coffee for a small office since my family shares my coffee addiction. The other espresso makers kept breaking- got this after a person returned it at a great price and love it. I don't like Keurig because of the waste with the little tiny cups. I had a keurig at one time with the carafe so I could make coffee for guests. But it broke and the new ones would only use Keurig landfill clogging plastic cups. I had been able to use the green ones with the previous model. It is not a cheap machine though. These asshats are demonstrating their support for child rape as is Hannity. It is truly unbelieveable.

[miyazaki]

32. afaic, they can all boycott their brains and drop dead.

[syringis]

33. They are really smart. I'm baffled !

So when then have fever, they break the thermometer instead of treating the fever ?

[pansypoo53219]

34. good for the environment and better coffee.

[oberliner]

37. They like having something to get worked up about

It helps bring meaning to their lives.

[D_Master81]

41. they should

they should troll those people and announce that they are returning their ads to Hannity, then all those people would run out and rebuy them. Then in a few weeks, again announce you're pulling ads.

[Orrex]

42. During the "freedom fries" years...

Idiots were buying French wine and dumping it in the sewer.

They're all kinds of stupid.

[Vinca]

43. I'm surprised they bought Keurig in the first place. Sounds kind of foreign.

[GallopingGhost]

60. LOL!

I'm a dedicated environmentalist, but Keurig saved my marriage. With a traditional coffee maker, my spouse brewed forty-five gallons of road tar every morning. Talk about waste.

It's colder than Olaf's rear this morning. I just brewed a cup using a 100% compostable, organic, fair trade pod from Ethical Bean Company. They can have my Keurig when they pry it from my cold, coffee-loving hands.

[Demsrule86]

44. They cost over $100.00. I use an espresso machine, but I bought one for my son when

he bought his house last year.

[dembotoz]

47. I preferred Expresso machine but they always died... quickly

I have had better luck with a k machine.
Had a stove top Expresso that I just loved, but the person to whom I was married didn't like it and thru it out...

[Demsrule86]

74. Oh no! Threw out the Espresso maker...horrible...hehe

The truth is you will pay for a decent espresso maker...if you are willing to do little cups...Nespresso is quite good. You get a frother with most deals. Mine would cost 3500 new but I got it refurbished for under 1000. It grinds and does it all...I suggest a Jura. They have a guarantee that you will pay 450 for a replacement if they can't fix your espresso machine...lifetime warranty.

[dembotoz]

75. the little stove top thing cost like 30 bucks

i still mourn its departure

[Demsrule86]

76. I have one because if the lights go out I can use the Grill to make coffee...

Got to have my coffee.

[maxrandb]

48. Their Moms are going to be PISSED!!!

[brewens]

51. Yank their chains by telling them how great a thing they are doing for the environment!

That will piss them off.

[samnsara]

52. they will wake up this am having to get their drip coffee maker

..out of storage and clean, fill, drip..wait....sigh...

[yardwork]

53. I've watched some of the smashing videos - they're violent.

The video I saw was carefully produced, including slow-motion close ups of a hammer smashing the little machine over and over. Interestingly, the soundtrack was a rap song that seemed to be about rape. The celebration of violence was palpable.

These people want to hurt people. They want to smash bodies, not machines.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

57. What I really want to see is for Walmart to drop Hannity.

Then, let's see how many are faithful to their boycott silliness.

[Motley13]

65. Tell them gun manufacturers pulled their ads

[dixiegrrrrl]

71. Now there's a thought

a rather disconcerting one.

[VermontKevin]

67. This is some of the funniest shit I have ever watched.

Seriously. Can we get them to destroy more of their shit?

[Maraya1969]

68. The price has come down but I paid about $130 at Costco

What a bunch on numbnuts.
