Banned for Life from EVERY UDF??? happened in Ohio..
Edited on Fri Oct-24-08 05:30 PM by RazBerryBeret
I just heard this woman being interviewed/taking questions on a local radio station, I had to come home and google to read more about it...
She said she has been banned for life from entering any UDF...and she has gotten a threatening phone call.

THIS is bullshit.

13. I started a page on the Truthiness Encyclopedia ...
... for UDF (http://www.wikiality.com/United_Dairy_Farmers)

You're welcome to add what you'd like, although, I'd recommend registering a free account first that way no one can see your IP address.

12. We stopped at one this morning.
My husband was positive that he was getting the "stink eye" for wearing his two Obama buttons with his "I voted" sticker.

After reading this story, I'm positive he was right.

I guess we'll be finding a different place to spend our money.

15. Store owned by Carl Lindner Jr...that explains it all
Edited on Fri Oct-24-08 06:25 PM by seasat
He is one of the wing nuttiest of the right wing nuts. He was CEO of Chiquita and was fined 25 million dollars for funding paramilitary groups in Columbia. He's raised millions for McCain. McCain has done favors for Lindner like this:

In the late 1990s, McCain promoted a deal in Arizona's Tonto National Forest involving property part-owned by Great American Life Insurance, a company run by billionaire Carl H. Lindner Jr., a prolific contributor to national political parties and presidential candidates.


Lindner joined Robert Perry in funding the swift boat group against Kerry.

Charles Keating was Lindner's lawyer before he went off to bilk retirees out of their savings. Keating was considered to be a protege of Lindners.

Lindner pretty much has his fingers in almost every sleazy Repub group, campaign, or action from the past several decades.
