Coors' campaign mgr says Kerry worse than KKK.
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/3082948/detail.html

snip..."Cinamon Watson, spokeswoman for Coors, said the error was "so outrageous it's kind of funny. It could
have been worse. Pete could have been identified as John Kerry."

Chris Gates, chairman of the Colorado Democratic Party, demanded an apology. He said Democrats are
"out there campaigning positively on the issues, and the Republicans can't help but resort to the lowest
level of insult and name-calling."

Coors, head of the Coors brewing empire, is seeking the Republican nomination to fill the seat being
vacated by Republican Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, who is retiring."
snip

What a tool! Typical Colorado repug! At least Kerry has a 49% poll rating here, compared to Bush's 51%....pretty good for such a heavy Repug state.

1. There is hope then?
People are so ready to give up on a huge number of states because they are traditionally repug.

This is NOT how the Repukes won Congress and rammed their Contract they took out on America into the lives of Americans.

We have to take polls that show us within points of the Repukes and target certain states and their issues to get back ground.

11. Don't be silly
The Coors spokesman was making a joke, kind of silly, but not offensive.

Don't worry, I'm for Salazar.

You're looking at the quote out of context. It was a silly joke in response to a clerical error - that joke wasn't particularly clever one, but it wasn't offensive either. There's plenty out there to beat Coors with - why use this siliness?

14. I'm a Salazar delegate.
Good man. I look forward to meeting him on May 8th...hopefully.

What kind of a name is "Cinamon" anyway? Shouldn't she be selling sweet rolls in a Mall someplace?

16. What do ya say we boycott Coors Beer???
Since all the Repugs "don't like beer" because it's a blue collar beverage of choice, we could really hurt this guy in the Corporate pocketbook!

Even if you like Coors, ther's lots of other beers you could buy instead and be just as happy.
