http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/10/right_wing_sounds_the_sharia_alarm_over_campbells.php

It meets the dietary restrictions of Islam, and the fundies are going nuts!! Or should I say nuttier? More batshit insane??

[sakabatou]

1. They're loopy

[jillan]

2. Loopy but no soupy.....

sorry it's late...getting a little loopy myself :P

[sakabatou]

3. Heh

[lapfog_1]

4. You complain about our soup?

[DesertFlower]

5. lol. nt

[AwakeAtLast]

29. HA HA HA HA!

:rofl:

[comtec]

6. Um.... Last I checked halal and kosher diets were THE SAME

Yes I know it pisses off both groups to say that, but it's true.
Here in holland there are damned few Jews (god I miss deli's) but loads of Muslims.
My step side of my family are Jews. Lemmie tell you as far as I've seen there is very little if any difference between the diets....
That migh have something to do with them sharing the same fucking bible!

Yes there's has more to it, like the Christians do
But they are still bound by the dietary laws as set down by Moses

Ok well it's safer to attack Muslims now a days than Jews I guess
Sad and pathetic no matter how you slice it

Rwers are a truly sad bunch of humans

[Codeine]

15. there are some differences in halal and kosher.

[Touchdown]

7. Oh. Muslims this time. It thought the little boy on the can came out as gay.

:crazy:

[Ken Burch]

8. He did. But he insists that he's just good friends with The Little Green Sprout.

:sarcasm:

[ZombieHorde]

9. Of all of the tings going on in the world, they are choosing this to freak out over. nt

[Bluzmann57]

10. Oh my goodness!

I just bought several cans of Campbell's soup at the grocery store because they were on sale. Should I take them back? Nah, they are tasty and I think I may just eat them.

[Count Olaf]

45. The cans are full of BPA and the soup is full of high fructose corn syrup

I'd take them back.

In fact I wrote the company and told they I would never buy their products again and explained why. Children love their soups and I don't think it is very nice to poison them this way. They ignored me.

[Bluzmann57]

46. So I'm not as pure as you

Doesn't matter, I still like Campbell's soups. And you know what? I am 52 years old and ate soup when I was a kid. I'm still alive and fairly healthy as is my sister and our kids and my grandchildren, as well as my elderly parents, all of whom have eaten much soup. So get off your fucking high horse.

[uncommon]

50. Nope, it's poison. Take it back or you are murdering everyone you love.

:sarcasm:

[Count Olaf]

57. I feel adults have a duty to children to demand safe food

Children today are exposed to many more chemicals and other crap than you were as a child.

Things are getting worse-Life expectancy is dropping
US Drops to 49th in the World for Life Expectancy
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x9294828

Our FDA no longer works for us. WE have to educate ourselves and our children.

And quite frankly, you don't know if your grandchildren are okay. BPA causes hormonal problems, witness the millions of Americans on anti-depressants. High Fructose corn syrup has mecury and is made with GM corn which has been found to cause organ damage in lab tests.

I write this not for you(who is angry when presented with fact) but for others who might want to search for safer foods.

I also write this because I and all other concerned consumers have been ignored by Campbells and I will keep speaking out until they take action to make their foods safe for human consumption. I can choose not to purchase it, but I speak for those who do not know enough to read labels and educate themselves.

[dixiegrrrrl]

61. Aha! So the Freepers should WANT the Muslins to eat that soup!!!

Boy, are they missing an opportunity.

[Bitwit1234]

11. These people have got to be eating and or drinking something

the rest of America doesn't.

[opihimoimoi]

12. They been in-breeding...its in their DNA....born soupy....live loopy

[old mark]

13. I just bought a few cans of chunky chicken/healthy choice...It's pretty bad soup.

You have to add the salt and pepper that they did not add to make it taset like anything.

But it was on sale, and it is quick, and I like to have some in the cupboard in the cooler months.

I had no idea I was making a political statement, but that makes the soup taste better.

I really don't want these RWers running my country...we are stupid enough with the Democrats supposedly in charge, but the republicans would be intollerable...I'm still geting over Bush II.

mark

[lonestarnot]

17. Are you kidding me? Even your socks are political.

:crazy:

[old mark]

18. I'm not wearing any socks...I guess that makes me a Progressive...nt

[lonestarnot]

56. Absence thereof also applies.

:evilgrin:

[uncommon]

51. If they put salt in it, the purists would be clamoring for blood. Salt kills you know.

Jeez you must just want everyone to die.

:sarcasm:

[surrealAmerican]

14. Perhaps Christians need their own dietary restrictions ...

... so they can get in on the fun! All foods will be required to contain some sort of pork product to be considered to be safe for them to eat.

[Urban Prairie]

16. RWers railed against the spread and threat of godless communism for decades

And yet they have no issues with purchasing products manufactured in China?

Delusional hypocrites!

[lunatica]

19. It must be getting harder and harder to maintain the rage

I think they're beginning to show signs of exhaustion with all the effort to keep their outrage going.

[blondeatlast]

30. Perhaps we could offer up some suggestions for their outrage, in that event.

For instance, the grid layout of city streets is a well-hidden cover for the Hades beneath and clearly the work of the Anti-Christ.

And let's not forget the nigh-impossible drive-outs and their SUV-unfriendly curves at In 'n Out Burger.

[lunatica]

32. LOL!

What about toll booths. That's a commie pinko socialist marxist conspiracy by the government to take over what oughta be a private enterprise.

[NuttyFluffers]

44. the logo for Duplo blocks is a red rabbit! it's a satanic fertility cult!

it's a trick from those liberal heathen Europeans! run for the hills! soon the black goat of the woods with a thousand young shall come to enslave us all! boycott Duplo, for your lives!

:dilemma: :scared: :hide: :nuke:

[slackmaster]

20. Are there any other old-timers here who remember the last boycott of Campbell's soup?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farm_Labor_Organizing_Committee#Campbell.27s_Soup_boycott

[senseandsensibility]

28. Interesting

Thanks for posting.

[slackmaster]

48. It was a VERY big deal at the time, and I can't recall buying a can of Campbell's since then

There isn't one in my pantry now, and I don't believe I'll be buying any. There are a lot of better soups available.

[alfredo]

21. Tell them that mashed potatoes and gravy were invented

by Muslims. The first Apple Pie was invented by an Arab in 1848. Coffee? Look to the Arab countries. Oh, and fox news is owned in part by a Saudi prince.

[Motown_Johnny]

23. or that the numbers we use are Arabic. They will have us all using Roman Numerals again

[treestar]

26. +DCII

[alfredo]

27. 87,000 is not 3,000,000

[Motown_Johnny]

22. rofl, it isn't like they changed the recipes. They are just pointing out

that these soups happen to meet the standards necessary to be certified Halal. Smart marketing IMO.



It isn't like they will stop making split pea with ham soup just to make the Muslims happy.


Freaking Crazy RWingers!

[IcyPeas]

24. Campbells Cream of Stupid

[Motown_Johnny]

25. reading through the comments, someone suggested donating cans to food drives

(since the poster doesn't like Campbell's)


It sounds like a great idea to me. Hit those nut cases twice with one purchase. Helping the poor and promoting Halal products at the same time.

[elleng]

31. Dietary restrictions of Islam are same as Kosher, for their information,

not that they ever want to be informed!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

33. Mmm Mmm Dumb, Mmm Mmm Dumb

That's what Fundie Freeps are
Mmm Mmm Dumb

:)

[Lucky Luciano]

34. Burning stupid. I guess I am one of those

Edumucated librul elitists that feels superior to the burning stupid.


Sad fact is that the thugs figured out how to market to the stupid.

[lunasun]

35. Like the idea to buy some Campbells and donate to food pantry if you do not eat them regularly nt

[Vickers]

36. They should really watch their sodium intake anyway. n/t

[HuckleB]

37. Why don't they just get it over with and boycott anyone who sells food to Muslims?

Man, they would be just a little hungry.

[Incitatus]

38. They can also boycott anything that comes from a Muslim country, like oil. nt

[blondeatlast]

39. But then they would st--WHAT A GREAT IDEA YOU HAVE! I'm all for it! nt

[HuckleB]

41. This is what I'm saying...

:toast:

[ManiacJoe]

40. Is this a new certification for a new recipe, or

is it the same old recipe that finally got certified?

[Cleobulus]

42. Well, I think things such as Tomato soup, Chicken noodle soup and other...

flavors/varieties could meet kosher/halal standards. Don't see how they could violate such standards.

[Vinca]

43. Another money-making opportunity for the Soup Nazis among us.

Who's in for a line of "Batshit Crazy All-American Soup?" I do a killer tomato.

[Contrary1]

47. Counter the boycott by buying extra...

Your local food pantry could sure put them to good use. This can work out to be a positive thing, even if you don't eat Campbell soups

[slackmaster]

49. Let's all buy food that we wouldn't eat, and donate it to poor people!

That's the Christmas spirit!

[uncommon]

53. Plenty of people eat Campbell's soup.

The heartier non-condensed soups are alright, I buy them to eat at work sometimes. The condensed soups are great for casseroles.

Don't assume that just because you don't like something, no one else would want it.

[Contrary1]

55. I eat Campbell's soup. You are free to donate whatever you choose. n/t

[Count Olaf]

58. give children BPA laden high fructose GM corn syrup

yay!

[Stevenmarc]

52. Alphabet Soup confuses them.

[mstinamotorcity]

54. I don't see why the Repugs are angry

Its their Free Market system at work.

[slackmaster]

59. I think it's totally hypocritical for a conservative to criticize a company for a business decision

:hi:

[mstinamotorcity]

60. They don't give a damn about the company's

business decision when they can use the racist fear that some people have to divide. Same tactic,same people,same repugs.
