Boycott GM ?

I don't want this company to succeed under the Obama banner. And besides, how many GM workers voted Obama anyway ?

My next car will likely be a very nice shiny Toyota. Made in America by Americans, but untouched by union hands.

No problem... I’m boycotting Government Motors, Ford, and Chrysler..

Yeah, I was thinking today that Rush & Sean & Levin & Savage ought to organize a nationwide boycott of GM.

I know that Rush & Sean have had GM sponsorhip in the past, but it would be a good test of their character to see whether they could stop suckling at the teat of the sow.

Slight problem there, Toyota employs Americans yes, but their profits don’t go to America.

I'd rather any profits go to Japan than to Obama.

I bought a Hyundai minivan to support the Korean rise in auto production. Great vehicle BTW.

I was just now thinking about this.

THIS capitalist American will not be buying from a zombie “company”, no way.

This unnatural “company” is an abomination and, like Barry, must fail.

It is an afront to any self-respecting American.

GM, and their commie union can’t fall fast enough.

Crapping out.. Plus they are based in Michigan..

If GM manages to control its losses somewhat (which will be portrayed as a HUGE success by the administration and the media), you know what kind of precedent that's going to set ?

"Govt succeeded where private ownership failed"

For all practical purposes GM is now a state run company, like Lada.

Boycott GM? That won’t be hard. I’ve never bought a piece of union-built GM crap in my life. No good reason to start now!

I love my Ford. My Chevy is great too but I will not buy from a pseudo government/UAW entity.

GM died yesterday.

Agree with the death. I was actually going to bite on a new camaro ... not now.

“Better not buy a Japanese car either. They prop up their automakers artificially as well.”

I understand this, but, I’d rather give money to a foreign company than give it to commies here at home.

Heck, I’d buy from just about anyone before I’d knowingly support American unions.

I was raised around unions (CAT, Keystone). My family loathed them—and so do I.

Not a problem at all...way ahead of you on this.

2. Time for me to get a couple of aspirin. There's got to be a gene for
the twisted type thinking that goes on at freeperville.

A few years back, this would be out and out treasonous.

6. Unpatriotic bastards. I wonder how many of those union auto workers
fought in WWII, Korea and Nam for us and these little keyboard warriors.

7. what always gets me the most
is that all these freedom loving Murkins will go on and on about freedom and capitalism, but hate on unions. A worker having the right to form or join a union is freedom, and any country that denies people that right is not free. these simpletons would rather just let the corporation and the far right propagandist media own their lives, and meanwhile they call themselves free.

8. I have read posts from "conservatives"
On Townhall who boast that they purposely try to avoid buying anything manufactured in the US.

Like it is a badge of honor to do so.

No one called them out about it, either.

Sometimes I wish that there was no internet for these morans to one up each other and share their idiotic ideas.

9. It's because Limbaugh and Hannity constantly tell them they are
Great Americans and smarter than the average bear.

10. Thee was a time when one could walk into WalMart and find
virtually everything there made in the USA...It is a challenge now to find anything made in the USA.

I wonder if these people realize that very soon, because of their inability to comprehend this, that our military will be buying things made in other countries as well. At that point, some of them might actually join up, and get one of those Russian grenades w/a zero fuse, it blows up as soon as the spoon flies...that'll be good for a Darwin Award...:D

12. Anti-union rhetoric
I was surprised that I didn't see a hearty "the south shall rise again" from these a-holes. They still have not realized that the south lost the war, and they still won't admit that Obama is president. As a retired electrician, I worked with many southerners on large projects in Pgh. and they tried everything they could to sabotage the jobs that were paying them twice what they could earn in their home states, then bitched about how terrible the union was. I made any number of enemy's back then, but every fight was worth it. Screw the non-union southern idiots, especially the Senator from Tenn. They cry and moan, but when it comes to SS or unemployment, they sure don't turn it down.

I bet it wouldn't be too terribly difficult to trick these idiots into killing themselves. :-)
