I’m boycotting them.

Remember Tyson makes all meat products, not just chicken, for most fast food outlets ... and for most frozen food meat products. They are a huge company.

I bet the muzzies might be illegal, too. Although you never know. They seem to be preferred by this administration.

I hope the non-muslims stage a “Sick In” on Labor Day. I would. Well, maybe I wouldn’t in this economy. Labor jobs are hard to find in some areas.

That’s OK, I’ve been boycotting them too, ever since they were a key factor in puting Bill Clinton in the White House.

But you are right, it isn’t easy to boycott them.

Like mold after a flood, they can be found in almost every thing. Even some of the other brand names use tyson’s meats as a component part, so you gotta read the labels closely.

Tyson supported BJ Clinton, so no surpise that the company would be doing “progressive” things:

http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1997/gen/resources/fm.clinton/

“In 1974 as well as 1992, candidate Clinton has actually embraced powerful corporate interests and much of their agenda despite his rhetoric against them. When Clinton ran for Congress in 1974, the largest employer in the Third District of Arkansas was Tyson Foods, based in Springdale, which was well on its way to becoming the nation’s largest poultry producer. In 1995, Tyson Foods ranked “110th on the Fortune 500 list, and sold 6,000 products in 57 countries, from fresh chickens to taco fillings,” according to an August 1994 company profile in The New York Times.

“The chairman, Don Tyson, is a colorful figure who in the late 1970s designed his corporate office as a replica of the Oval Office in the White House, with doorknobs shaped like chicken eggs. Tyson was estimated to be worth $800 million. He supported Clinton in the 1974 race, and according to author David Maraniss, the Tyson family donated a campaign telephone bank which was operated from an apartment near the University of Arkansas, although it should be noted that no such “in-kind” contribution was reported by the campaign to the Federal Election Commission. Clinton never talked much about the company itself publicly, but instead spoke empathetically about the plight of chicken farmers.

“The Tyson-Clinton relationship continued in Washington, of course, and it grew out of a special culture.

The "festival" of Eid al-Fitr at the end of Ramadan is a ten day festival celebrating the day the Muslims will kill every Jew on the planet, and enslave mankind. It is the victory party before the day. It is celebrated in Jordan by sacrificing goats and hanging the body parts around the home till they rot. Trust me, ten days in the Jordanian sun and you can smell the city 50 miles away from downwind.

If you like the smell of turkey on thanksgiving, and Christmas trees on Christmas, you will love EID. It smells to high heaven in the thing the Muslims love most, death.

Yes, Islam is a death cult. And they actually look forward and celebrate the day the world is turned into a slaughterhouse. The rotting body parts represent your future in their eyes.

Furthermore, you know why Muslims want Sharia Law for them? Because under Sharia Law, no infidel may testify against a Muslim. With Sharia Law, they can kill and rape to their hearts content, as long as it is you and your family they do it to.

We need to defeat Islam, not sleep with it. It is a STD.

Likely not actually. More likely black Muslim though given the location {West Tennessee near Memphis}.

Here's what I just sent to tyson.com...

To whom it may concern: I'm reading that your company is doing away with Labor Day, in favor of a Muslim (read: foreign) holiday. Also, that you are installing Muslim Prayer Rooms in your plant at Shelbyville.

As a patriotic American of 62 years, I'm writing to say that due to your disregard for American .... AMERICAN holidays and traditions, I will from this point forward purchase no more Tyson products at all.

The very religion that sponsed the killing of thousands of Americans on 9/11 is now being given preferential treatment in your facility - which I am willing to wager condemns anything remotely Christian to be displayed by workers, and probably bans Christian prayer.

Your company is a disgrace and a traitor to the United States and the American way of life, and I think you should crawl under a rock in shame.

By the time this story makes its way across the blogs and news boards and milliions of emails, I'm sure your affiliation with the muslim religion will leave you with nothing but muslim customers.

Trading a Marxist inspired holiday for a pedophile prophet inspired holiday.

Half dozen of one and six of the other, I guess.
