Let Them Drink Starbucks! Mika Brzezinski Wants a Ban on All Sugary Sodas (Video)
Newsbusters ^ | July 6, 2010 | Jeff Poor

It's pretty well documented MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski likes to brag about her workout routine and showcase its effects on her physique. And perhaps for that reason, Brzezinski believes that entitles her to pass judgment on what consumers should put into their bodies.

On MSNBC's July 6 "Morning Joe," Brzezinski boasted about San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's vending machine soda ban that took effect today. But Brzezinski wanted to take it a step further - not to just ban them in city vending machines, but just stop people from drinking soda altogether.

"And in San Francisco, a ban on sugary drinks in city vending machines is starting to take effect," Brzezinski said. "That's so great. It was issued by Mayor Gavin Newsom, my new hero, Mike Barnicle -- in an effort to combat obesity and improve citizen's health, and it will. In fact, if people would just not drink soda pop, they would be healthier and less fat."

Pepsi - dangerous chemical that should be banned by law for health reasons.

Random bodily fluid from an anonymous sex partner - approved for all uses.

That's SanFran Logic.

“”And in San Francisco, a ban on sugary drinks in city vending machines is starting to take effect,” Brzezinski said. “That’s so great. It was issued by Mayor Gavin Newsom, my new hero”

Wow, its good to know my fellow elite Americans value freedom of choice. Shoosh. Aren’t these the same asshats that thought they could win a war on poverty now taking on a war on obesity? What do these two wars have in common? Another liberal quagmire in the making.

Mika sounds like a direct offspring of Hitler or Stalin and really anti Freedom and anti-American.

She “knows better” and is on the side of the angels for caring about you so much.

This is the “progressive” thought pattern.

Frankly I consider those handy containers of sugary drinks a life saver ~ just in case I manage to OD on insulin.

I think the San Fran crowd are getting close to a violation of the Handicapped Access law ~

Little facists, aren’t they.

If you say “Hitler” to them they scream and say what a horrible man. But it’s like they are in love with national socialism.

When I tell people Hitler’s great strength was to institute his brand of political correctness, they stare. They don’t realize, it’s all in the vocabulary. Hitler was the most PC of them all.

I never thought of it that way. I’m no lawyer, but I wonder if that would be a great way of giving grief to SF.

They aren’t truly “national” socialists. The “national” part is what they point at when any conservative expresses a love of country - “oh, you must be a Nazi if you love America”.

No, they are INTERnational socialists/fascists. They’d love nothing more than to see America simply sink back into the morass of third world countries and become part of the “World Collective”.
