US activist pushes 'terror-free' gas

[deadparrot]

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The first "terror-free" gas station was inaugurated this week in Omaha, Nebraska aiming to send a message to Middle Eastern oil producers thought to sponsor terrorism.

The station in the central US state greets customers with large "terror-free" signs and the pumps proudly proclaim that the oil being drawn is "terror-free premium" or "terror-free super."

Messages plastered inside the station's convenience store drive home the message that it only sells oil from Canada and the United States and supports the war on terror.

"We know that when we go to the pumps we are sending our hard-earned dollars to a part of the world that wishes to destroy us," Joe Kaufman, who is behind the "Terror-Free Oil Initiative" (TFO) which runs the station, told AFP.

1. "Terror-free"?

I had no idea the rest of the gas in the country was so frightening! :silly:

On edit: Except for what comes out of W's ass!

2. Joe Kaufman, bigot/freeper/all-around slimeball, opens gimmick gas station.

Note: he used to go under the name "intelsum" but that account, along with others, has been closed.

Go ahead and leave any semi-critical comment on one of his videos, and you'll get a response -- usually to your personal profile -- like this (edited, to be marginally less offensive, if that's even possible):

Hey, Islamonazi ******head, why don't you crawl back into your cave before we bomb the **** out of you? Go **** an allah, or **** off a ********* muhammad (**** be upon him), or ****-*** to a 72-year-old virgin, or whatever the **** you do in your rat hole to amuse yourself. And when you're done, go **** your sister. Everyone else has.
Nobody is interested in what you have to bleat, you dumb Nazi camel****!

5. Whoa, that's a seriously disturbed individual

Thanks for the heads-up.

And welcome to DU!
:toast:
:hi:

6. Thanks Canuckistanian!

This story has popped up a few times on DU, but nobody seems to know much about Kaufman. He's thought of as just some guy with a wacky idea for a gas station, sigh.

3. I don't need terror-free gas. I need shrub-free government.

4. I don't plan to fill up there

It is mostly oil from US sources and refined by Sinclair Oil. Sinclair refused to allow this ad campaign as a branded station. They plan to open more stations in other states in the future.
