AriZona Iced Tea on Liberals’ Boycott List… But It’s Made in New York, You Dolts
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on May 2, 2010
More on those screaming liberals and their hate-revved boycott of “all things Arizona” because of Arizona’s new illegal immigration law… those angry libs want to boycott AriZona Iced Tea.
More specifically, it’s brewed in Long Island.
Figures. Just like the statist zealots who haven’t read the actual Arizona law they are decrying and the subsequent amendment to it, they obviously neglected to read the fine print on the iced tea can.
AriZona Iced Tea... on libs' hit list, even though is produced in New York
From CBS News, Boycott Arizona Iced Tea? Wait a Second…
In the wake of the passage of a controversial immigration law in Arizona, there have been calls for a boycott of the state and its businesses. Among those calling for a boycott are Rep. Joe Baca (D-Calif.), lawmakers in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and La Opinion, the nation’s biggest Spanish-language newspaper.
Some of the boycott calls are directed not just at the state but businesses based there, among them Cold Stone Creamery, Circle K and U-Haul. And as the New York Daily News reports, also under fire in some quarters is Arizona Iced Tea. Its label says is brewed by the Arizona Beverage Co.

“Dear Arizona: If you don’t change your immigration policy, I will have to stop drinking your enjoyable brand of iced tea,” one person wrote on Twitter, according to the Daily News; another called Arizona Iced Tea “the drink of fascists.”
There is (at least) one problem with all that, however: Arizona Iced Tea is based in New York. It was founded in 1992 in Brooklyn by former New York City beer distributors; the company says the founders borrowed “the motif from their south-western inspired house in Queens.”
“For the last 16 years our headquarters have remained on Long Island where we continue to sell and distribute AriZona Iced Teas and beverages,” the company said in a statement to correct what it called “misinformation” about its origins.

About the author
I saw Jay Leno at Correspondent Dinner his best line was; “That was my favorite story (this year) Republicans and a Lesbian bondage club. It’s ironic, Republicans don’t want lesbian getting married but they do like watching them “tie the knot”. So I thought that was interesting.”
[From admin: Oops! Montana the liberal troll accidentally copied/pasted the exact-same rambling diatribe that is totally unrelated to this post from yesterday. Yawn. So, I've deleted 97 percent of it, since spamming/trolling is annoying and lazy - I did leave in, though, the weird reference to the Leno lesbian joke, however. Montana, you're banned for a week, buttercup. Read the rules.]
