Is it true that Freepers are boycotting Heinz products?

[testing123]

I was listening to c-span the other morning and some nut called up and said something about boycotting Heinz products.

Has anyone else heard something about this ludicrous Idea of theirs?

1. did you see this thread?

3. I haven't been to LBN

The caller was right.

[proud patriot]

2. Yes and they have "W ketchup" to purchase

:puke:

[testing123]

5. Ugh

I would think he would be more of a "Dill Pickle".

:puke:

[MercutioATC]

13. Do they put that on their "Freedom Fries"?

[rwheeler31]

4. why?

This is a Republican company

6. Dumbass freepers

Don't even know Theresa has NOTHING to do with Heinz....

[Katherine2]

7. And also,

I've heard that Heinz donates mostly to Republicans.

[testing123]

8. LOL

Let them boycott Heinz.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. You are correct.

It's a publicly held company. Teresa may own stock in it but she does not have a controlling interest in it.

I've told this to several Republican acquaintances of mine but they still don't get it.

9. oh shudder and shake...

so five hundred morans stop stealing packs of ketchup from the local McDonalds; this is hardly reason for Heinz to worry.

11. I don't believe she owns any of that company anymore.....

some one can research but I believe she doesn't have any interest owned in the company anymore....so it is stupid...

[WoodrowFan]

14. she wons like 5 %

there was a thread on this earlier. She has maybe 5% of the stock and no voice in management.

[trof]

15. And that's in a family trust, I think. eom

[CrownPrinceBandar]

12. Good for them...

Leaves more for me. Mmmmmm...Heinz!

[OnionPatch]

16. So let them eat their W ketchup

If it's made according to Republican "values" it's probably made with chemical food coloring, genetically modified tomatoes sprayed with all types of pesticides. Mmmm!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

17. And NO sanitary checks, because that would be Big Government interference!

Ewwwwwww! :puke:

[sundog]

18. I really love the fact that

whenever anybody sees a Heinz product, it pushes a subliminal button. It's a little extra indirect campaigning -- every bit helps :)

[MissMillie]

19. I haven't bought Bush beans ever

so THERE!

[OnionPatch]

20. Ha Ha, neither have I!

Whenever I see those beans I just can't bring myself to pick up the can even though I have no idea whether they're connected to W.

[Nikia]

21. It's a different family

I believe that they lean that way, as do many larger family business owners, but I'm not positive on that one.

23. They make you fart

They are full of gas and they make you fart.

[NightTrain]

22. But what'll they put on their oatmeal?

French's Mustard, perhaps? Oh! No, wait....

[No2W2004]

24. Stupid, dumb, ignorant, freepers

Are they truly this stupid? Is it too hard to find out for yourself that Teresa Kerry has NO controlling interest in Heinz?
