Ban Budweiser, Seagram's Because Dylann Roof Drank Them?

RUSH: We have learned a little bit more about Dylann Roof, and it may mean that such venerable institutions as Budweiser and Seagram's may be called into question here, because, as you know, anything that has to do with Dylann Roof has now been labeled racist and racist, racism, and all other kinds of horrors, such as the Confederate flag and anything with the flag on it. We are in a race to rid our society of all of it, are we not?

Well, it seems that the UK Daily Mail has been doing some journalism, a random act of journalism out there, and they have discovered what Dylann Roof was doing in the last couple/three days before he went on his shooting rampage, and it turns out that he lived in a trailer with two or three of his equally worthless buddies. You know what they did? They drank and were playing video games. I think... I can't lay claim to this, because I don't think I honestly focused on it.

But I know that I mentioned at some point, we're gonna find out at some point that this kid -- you watch -- was playing video games and doing other such mindless activities. And, lo and behold, we found out. However, there's a picture of him here. There are many pictures in the UK Daily Mail story, and the first picture that they publish is this guy shirtless wearing dark glasses down on the bridge of his nose looking over the dark glasses, pointing a gun at the camera, and in the background are things on his wall which are framed.

Now, when most people frame things and put them on their wall, they have deep meaning to them, do they not? I mean, you don't just haphazardly hang things on your wall. Well, right behind Dylann Roof here over his left shoulder is a giant Seagram's VO icon or logo inside a frame. So obviously people are gonna make the connection that Dylann Roof liked Seagram's VO. Well, you know, what that's gonna do to Seagram's VO. And over his right shoulder is a smaller picture, also framed, of the Budweiser label.

So in this guy's trailer the objects d'art on his wall are Seagram's VO and Budweiser. But his buddies say, yeah, this guy was just playing video games and drinking all day long, and started bragging about the race war that he was gonna start. He was "staying with friends in a mobile home park in Red Bank, SC in the weeks before the massacre He told friends that he wanted the Glock .45-caliber with a laser sighting 'because he was small and needed to protect himself.'

"Friend Joey Meek hid Dylan's gun under a grille in their living room but put it back in the trunk of his car the next day. Roof slept on cushions thrown on the floor and spent his days drinking and playing video games. Justin Meeks said that a few weeks ago Dylann came to him with a Stars and Stripes flag and asked him to take a picture of him with it burning. Two days before the massacre Dylann showed them a bag stuffed with magazines of bullets and bragged, 'Look at all my magazines!'"

So this is from reporting the UK Daily Mail.

Mr. Roof is a sadder Budweiser man.

[BenLurkin]

The calls for the flag’s removal are merely a distraction from an inconvenient truth.

The shooter’s own “manifesto” is clear — he was radicalized by the unjust prosecution of George Zimmerman.

[sushiman]

Budweiser and Seagrams ? Drink enough of that crap and it might make you go nutso !

[Colonel_Flagg]

Budweiser should be banned on general principle, not just because some racist drank it.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Ban Budweiser because it tastes like ______. Ban Seagrams because of well, Edgar Bronfman, Jr.

This is how much of the Left thinks about it:

I actually think it should be taken down...if the stat popa e votes for it...because the confederacy no longer exists...you don’t fly the flag of a county that no longer exists on a public govt building...race and offensiveness has nothing to do with it

You betcha! Thank You

“you don’t fly the flag of a county that no longer exists on a public govt building....”

It WASN’T the national flag of any country. It was just a battle flag.

[uncitizen]

Ban bowl haircuts. At least let something good come out of this.

[DoodleDawg]

Your second comment misses the point that is being made that the south did not fight to protect slavery. It is a common charge you make but it is false.

Other that Roof had questionable taste in alcohol I don't know what we learn from this.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

They should especially ban Seagrams ginger ale, because it’s a white kinda soda.

DANG!

[SomeCallMeTim]

I think Seagram’s should immediately reduce the price of VO, significantly..... In order to be pro-active against the backlash.

Maybe... 50%.. :-),

[libertarian27]

Opera also needs to be banned:
“Scriven said he could tell Roof was depressed, and that he complained that he wasn’t getting the love and emotional support he needed from his parents. When he got upset, Roof would retreat to his car, blasting a cassette tape of opera.”

Funny - I just assumed alcohol-branded mirrors in mobile homes came installed right from the factory.

[bike800]

My response is that that battle is not being fought anymore...but then look at the fed intrusion into states business ...so I am torn...
