This protest brought to you by Miller beer

In Chicago today, hundreds of people set out on a 50-mile, four-day march for immigration rights. Their final destination is the district offices of House Speaker Dennis Hastert in Batavia, Illiniois. The protestors don't like the House immigration bill that would criminalize undocumented workers. There've been a lot of these protests this summer. So nothing too surprising here. Except that this political demonstration is being brought to you by Miller Brewing Company. From WBEZ in Chicago, Mike Rhee tells us what's brewing.

[toddlintown]

SABMiller, your non-American brewing company. It's now owned by South African Breweries.

A-B's not much better since it donates heavily to MALDEF.

Miller has already stated they do not support this protest, but they did support some immigration forums and other such activities.

"Miller's newfound support for the immigrants' movement comes after a backlash it suffered earlier this year. A Chicago immigration group boycotted Miller because the company had contributed money to U.S. Representative Jim Sensenbrenner. At the time Sensenbrenner was pushing a bill in Congress to crack down on illegal immigration. "

If Miller doesn't get slammed with another boycott for supporting criminals, we farging *deserve* to lose our country.

When we saw this on Fox News a few days ago I told the wife that we are not buying Miller again for a long time.

This will be no sacrifice for me but the wife does like Miller Lite.

I put this on my blog... Miller Brewing Supports Illegal Immigrant's Law Breaking... -By Warner Todd Huston

I, for one, will no longer be a customer of Miller Beer. I used to like an occasional MGD (Miller Genuine Draft), but after the Chicago Tribune has reported that Miller Beer is sponsoring illegal alien rallies, it will no longer enter my household.

Miller Beer is sponsoring a pro-illegal alien march from downtown Chicago to Batavia, Illinois this weekend...

This time, as demonstrators march from Chinatown to House Speaker Dennis Hastert's (R-Ill.) Batavia office this weekend, they will have Miller Brewing Co., as a sponsor. The brewer has paid more than $30,000 for a planning convention, materials and newspaper ads publicizing the event.

Seem like just a beer company trying to sell its product? Seem like any old support of a community effort at which a capitalist company might raise its profile among a buying public? Hardly, this rally is an effort to destroy the U.S. Constitution...

But this march is no Cinco de Mayo parade. The politically charged event will promote a controversial plan to end deportations and offer legal status for all 11 million to 12 million undocumented immigrants. That creates potential pitfalls for any businesses lending support, experts say. Miller is also bankrolling informational ads in Voces Migrantes, or Migrant Voices, a community newspaper in Chicago, and has promised scholarships for area Latinos.

Miller Beer is doing its part to break down our laws and our borders and I, for one, will no longer be patronizing Miller's products. If they so love illegal aliens, let them serve ONLY illegal aliens.

... and let's hope they do it in Mexico!

Americans should BOYCOT ALL MILLER BEERS.

Oh Boy... looks like I have to give up beer all together. Coors sponsors a tour by the Mexican soccer team.

I like wine, but between the cowardly French, West coast and east coast Lib wineries, that's out.

Good old Jack Daniels, and Southern Comfort for me I guess.

[toddlintown]

The Aussies make some great and very affordable wines.

Miller (Brewing) denies financing (Immigration) march

Every State in the Union produces wine.

Ohio has some very good wines (I live right in the heart of Ohio wine country).

[manic4organic]

Shiner Bock, Hefeweizen, Blonde, Light, Kolsch, Summer. All the beer you'll ever need.

Miller (Brewing) denies financing (Immigration) march

Doesn’t mater what Miller says. If they fund other activities of the organization that funded the march they funded the march by freeing up funds for that organization to finance the march.

The Aussies make some great and very affordable wines.

(/cue Eric Idle)

"A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palate but also to the cognoscenti of America.

Black Stump Bordeaux is rightly praised as a peppermint flavoured Burgundy, whilst a good Sydney Syrup can rank with any of the world's best sugary wines. Château Blue, too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and its lingering afterburn.

Old Smokey 1968 has been compared favourably to a Welsh claret, whilst the Australian Wino Society thoroughly recommends a 1970 Coq du Rod Laver, which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule: 8 bottles of this and you're really finished. At the opening of the Sydney Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an hour.

Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is Perth Pink. This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is 'beware'. This is not a wine for drinking, this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.

Another good fighting wine is Melbourne Old-and-Yellow, which is particularly heavy and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.

Quite the reverse is true of Château Chunder, which is an appellation contrôlée, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation; a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.

Real emetic fans will also go for a Hobart Muddy, and a prize winning Cuivre Reserve Château Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga, which has a bouquet like an aborigine's armpit."

If you are going to stock up on any of these beers for Labor Day, now would be an excellent time to do a little taste-testing of something new!

Well, do not drink it, and then your innards will not protest. There are better beers. Much better.

Oh darn! I like Icehouse. :-(

You could always buy wine from El Dorado County, Ca. We are a conservative county. Boeger wine was served at the White House when Reagan was in office. It can outmatch any french wine for that matter. Just to let you know not all of the left coast is left.

[David Isaac]

Not Leinies! I have been drinking High Life for 37 years, but that may be ending very soon. Thinking about switching to an A-B product, but am unaware of what they sponsor that may be untoward (more than likely they endorse something I don't like).

It is getting more and more difficult to find a large company that has not caved-in to Jesse Jackson's extortion racket or some other flakey left-wing wacko group. Perhaps someday these reactionary, fascist, capitalist pigs will lift their foot from the neck of the oppressed, victimized common man.
