Rockstar Energy Drink: Hate in a Can - Michael Savage
Please spread the word about this. I posted this in GD as well as I feel it is imperative that we get the word out.

Whenever you buy a can of Rockstar Energy Drink you're putting money in the pocket of a man who says this about gays:

When you hear "human rights," think only one thing: someone who wants to rape your son. And you'll get it just right. OK, you got it, right? When you hear "human rights," think only someone who wants to molest your son, and send you to jail if you defend him.

You'll recognize these words from ultraconservative shock jock Michael Savage, whose real name is Michael Weiner. (It's easy to see why he adopted a pseudonym.) Back in 2003, the Savage Weiner was fired from a blessedly brief gig at MSNBC when he told a caller to "get AIDS and die."

Not content with smearing LGBT Americans, Savage sometimes directs his vitriol toward children with disabilities: You know what autism is? I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is!

Savage/Weiner is co-founder and part-owner of Rockstar Energy Drink. His son, Russell Goldencloud Weiner - yes, I said "Goldencloud" - is CEO of the beverage company and architect of a militia-esque group called The Paul Revere Society. (Russell once warmed up a rock concert crowd by screeching: "Who's heterosexual and proud? If you're not, hopefully you will be soon.")

3. I don't know how anybody can
actually, willingly drink that crap in the first place. Good, just another reason added to the countless number of why I don't drink that shit.

5. I'm probably not going to say this right...
As a lesbian and a radical feminist, I always find it kind of funny (not the haha kind) when dickheads like Weiner say gay men *want* to rape our sons, yet say nothing about the heterosexual men who rape our daughters on a daily basis. Guess that's OK with him. It's the "natural" way of things, I guess.

It's also funny (and also not in the haha way) that guys like Weiner are usually rape apologists in the way of accusing alleged rape victims of lying and of making prison rape jokes - IE - if the "sluts" or "criminals" get raped they deserved it.

His rape fetish, I think, says a lot more about him than anyone else.

Loudmouth asswipes like Weiner also never quote the statistics that show that most rapists and child molesters are heterosexual males. That would be too inconvenient to his hysterical hate-mongering, I guess.

It's about time his San Francisco radio station dropped him. Sure took them long enough.

6. exactly, they leave out the straight guys who rape girls & women
they just soar right over to the male to male types of rape - he's got a fetish for sure. It's obvious he wants to, or have it happen to him - no man focuses such words on the subject and doesn't have a problem inside himself if he's claiming Gay men WANT to RAPE everyone's sons. 1st, most of them smell, two, their immature, three many are neanderthal/clumsy/inarticulate, four a lot are sexist or bigoted to others in society - and fift many aren't - oh that's right - MANLY enough to be desired. There's some sweet young men out there, but hearing Weiner's vitriol just shows he's got something wacky going on in his mind about men raping boys... I guess if he wasn't doing radio BS, he'd be a boys corrections officer! Thanks God for radio! :sarcasm:

7. I didn't know that
Thanks for the info; I have never used energy drinks, but I informed my kids. One of them told me not to worry, Rockstar tasted like horse p!ss. He always drinks something called Monster, I think.
