| Rachel Corrieâs parents join ISMâs anti-Caterpillar protests | |
| 2004-04-21 | |
| Little Green Footballs reports: This Friday the terror-enabling morons of the ISM are converging on Caterpillar headquarters in Peoria, joined by the parents of Rachel Corrie, to demand that Caterpillar stop doing business with Israel: Stop Cat Coalition. (Hat tip: ism_truth.) Oh yes; they also want a âfair contractâ for Caterpillar workers. . . . after they put them out of work with their boycotts and protests. Thatâs how much they care. According to a letter from Caterpillar management posted on the Stop Cat website, 96% of Caterpillarâs shareholders voted against their anti-Israel resolution. Iâd call that a crushing defeat, but that would be in poor taste.

| #20 Seafarious - maybe the ads are different depending on where you're at. Every time I pull up this article here in Phoenix it shows ads for used Caterpillar parts. But IHOP or Bisquick would work for me, too! ;) |

| #19 Caterpillar should run with this for the publicity. Greet them warmly and serve them a nice hot breakfast of pancakes. |

| #15 Maybe we could get some IHOP ads too. |

| #11 I have a pair of steel-toe boots that I wear when putting around on my motorcycle that say CAT on them. Maybe I should paint Rachel Corrie's name over the yellow sole. |

| #9 Should we wish them a crushing defeat? |

| #8 Ah, Craig, Cindy, and Lizzy Corrie. There's a sucker born every minute and three to replace her. |

| #7 If this story gets legs, Cat is going to get a ton of free advertising. They also probably get royalties for the hats. I want one for Fathers' Day. |

| #5 Why exactly are we referring to pancakes? Wouldn't matzot be more appropriate? |

| #4 Maybe there should be a Caterpillar parade of fine products around their plant on that day...just a thought! Maybe there can be a whole convent of St. Pancakes! |

| #3 Caterpiller should rename the company Flatterpiller just for spite. |

| #2 If I was Caterpiller, I'd let the union factory workers off for the day, and explain to them that a bunch of whacked lefty trust-fund idjits are gonna be protesting their work product, and trying to put the company out of business..... heh heh |
