Jon Stewart’s rally raises questions about comedian’s role (Coca-Cola sponsors HuffPo buses)

Jon Stewart and Glenn Beck have a few things in common. The liberal and conservative cable hosts each described their respective rallies on the National Mall—whether to "restore honor" or "restore sanity"—as nonpolitical events. Neither walks in lockstep with Democrats or Republicans. And both often claim to simply be entertainers, while at the same time never shying away from weighty subjects like the economy and terrorism.

Now the Huffington Post has lined up 212 buses leaving from the Mets Citi Field at 6 a.m. Saturday. (The buses will be equipped with snacks and drinks donated by Pom Wonderful, Stonyfield Yogurt and Coca-Cola.)

the left always has to BUS in PAID support...

Hardly much pomegranate in it. Mostly sugar.

[Pharmboy]

I am still on hold for one of their “associates.” Been about 8 minutes so far...

[Yaelle]

Do the liberals really want to all coalesce in public in DC with all these printer cartridges floating around?? Don’t forget that Liebowitz is Jewish...

Pepsi altered their logo to look more like obama’s.

[beckysueb]

I switched from Pepsi to Coke after they did that. Now its on to RC. I think I’ll let RC know why I switched. It can’t hurt to give them a warning to stay out of politics.

[Pharmboy]

Make sure everybody tells them that they will email this fact to every conservative on your contact list.

I just got through to them and spoke to "Candace." All she did was say she will pass my comments along; and, she asked for my zip code.

[Outlaw Woman]

omg..another memory jolt. LOL!

[manc]

LOL
same here

Just called again and now on hold

[beckysueb]

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if they now ban buying Coke with a foodstamp card!!! LOL

[beckysueb]

It takes about 10 minutes but they will get to you.

[manc]

wonder if we got the same woman
she too played dumb and said she knew nothing about it but I think it seems strange that not one of their operators know about this and yet we know they’;ve had a few calls over this thus far in the last 30 mins

I’m calling again and giving a name of Gary Jones plus my wife will be back from work soon so she’ll be calling too.

[manc]

thanks for calling though, the more of us who do the more they will get he message.

The left have been calling companies for years now saying they will boycott and now it’s our time, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

[manc]

I’ve already got 5 people to call plus my wife will be home soon, I’m calling again too.

Wish my oldest had a deeper voice so he could call LOL

Dr. Pepper is a made by the same company as Coke. Don’t see much point in boycotting one of their products while drinking another. Sowwy :)

I agree.

.and Pepsi sponsors # 48 Jimmie Johnson, NASCAR champion

I only support NASCAR drivers whose numbers are divisible by 24. ;)

Try filtered tap water

I drink only distilled water, or rainwater, and only pure-grain alcohol.
