Boycott Leinenkugel beer

[Minnesota Raindog]

Dick Leinenkugel, of the Leinkugel Beer family in Wisconsin, is a teabagging Republican running against Russ Feingold, one of the best--and most liberal--members of the United States Senate.

This is from Feingold's recent email:

Traffic on the low road is bumper to bumper.

The Republican primary is getting crowded and to no one’s surprise all of our opponents are taking the low road with divisive and deceptive campaigns. These self-proclaimed outsiders are tightly embracing politics as usual with slash-and-burn political tactics that see elections as a blood sport.

We believe the people of Wisconsin want better.

Recently, Dick Leinenkugel entered the race and went to Senator Feingold’s hometown of Janesville to question Russ’s patriotism. According to Leinenkugel, Russ is somehow un-American for being an independent voice who had the guts to stand up for our freedoms and vote against the USA PATRIOT Act.

Russ was led by our Wisconsin values when he was the lone vote against a dangerous government infringement on the constitutionally mandated individual rights of law-abiding citizens with no connection to terrorism whatsoever. It’s clear that - in the face of intrusion on the freedom we all cherish - Dick Leinenkugel would have chosen to “do nothing.”

There are plenty of other--and better--beers out there to drink. Time to Dump Leinie's and try something else.

1. I really like Leinie Red

Is Dick "Dick" Leinenkugel involved in the beer empire?

3. Dick Leinenkugel is of the Leinenkugel beer family

He is a former VP of sales and marketing and no doubt still profits from the family business.

2. I have no problem boycotting Sleimy.

I haven't drunk that beer in years. I prefer Surly.

4. Will Do

Even though he is just a cog in the SABMiller-Coors empire. I will substitute more Schell's, Surly, Summit, Point, and New Glarus.

5. I think this should be posted at the Wisconsin place, huh?

I'd do it, but I don't live there anymore - and I don't drink Leinie's anymore. It used to be considered a cheap skunk beer.
