Rockstar Energy Drink

Rockstar Energy Drinks Assault on LGBT Rights and Autism
Yeah, I won't be drinking Rockstar any time soon.
F*ck Michael Savage.

A few facts about Rockstar Energy Drink. It was co-founded by conservative radio host Michael Savage. It's current CEO is Russell Weiner, Michael Savage's son and a co-founder of the "Paul Revere Society" here in the States.
A few facts about Michael Savage. Better yet, here are a few comments directly from the mouth of Michael Savage:

• "You want me to tell you what makes me sick? When I see two puffy white males kissing each other, I want to puke. When I see two women kissing each other, on the lips, as lovers, I want to vomit."
• "When you hear "human rights," think only one thing: someone who wants to rape your son. And you'll get it just right. OK, you got it, right? When you hear "human rights," think only someone who wants to molest your son, and send you to jail if you defend him. Write that down, make a note of it."
• "...children's minds are being raped by the homosexual mafia, that's my position. They're raping our children's minds."
• "You know what autism is? I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is."

Disgusting, right? Michael Savage is reaping profits from the selling of Rockstar Energy Drink.
How about some facts about Savage's son, Russell Weiner?

• Fact #1: At a Rockstar-sponsored concert at Concord Pavillion in 2004, Russell Weiner warmed up the crowd by chanting "Who's heterosexual and proud? If you're not, hopefully you will be soon."
• Fact #2: Russell Weiner co-founded the conservative Paul Revere Society (with his father). In 2006, the organization had its tax-exempt status revoked.
• Fact #3: Among the positions championed by the Paul Revere Society, and presumably by Russell Weiner? (1) Support for traditional marriage only; (2) deportation of all illegal immigrants; (3) eliminating bilingual education in all states; (4) requiring health tests for all foreign born people; (5) ending affirmative action; (6) closing off the borders; and (7) make tax cuts permanent and end class action lawsuits.

Russell Weiner, as CEO of Rockstar, makes a boatload of money off the beverage.
Do you like your money going to a family that champions hate? Do you want your money going to a man who says that autism is a made up disease? To a man who says that all LGBT people are sodomites who deserve to get AIDS?
If the answer is no, then don't buy Rockstar Energy Drink. And if you see a club - especially an LGBT club - serving it, please say something to the management.

Wow. This needs to be passed on. Thank you for posting it.

[Strangler Lewis]

I will continue not drinking it--or any of its competitors. The whole lot of them seem to play to hopped up yahoos.

The small, mean part of me wants a few people to get ill- not dangerously so, but just enough to warrant a lawsuit that will wipe these mofos out monetarily. What pigs.

I thought this was general knowledge.

But pretty much irrelevant to me since I've never in my life consumed an energy drink beyond the generally recognized long-standing soda labels (never even consumed a cup of coffee).

[NickO'Time]

I was unaware that Michael Savage was somehow involved with this. (Not on the net as much as some of you are)

You can definitely count on me to boycott this brand. Savage is certified Nut-Case!

I'm sickened, because I have found Rockstar to keep me awake better than Red Bull in the past, when making the drive south. I think I have one can in my refrigerator right now, waiting for my next long drive. Ugh.

Michael Savage is someone I have long despised. Hate is a strong word for me, but I have truly hated that man for years. He is a despicable pig. The sound of his voice, so smug and arrogant, spewing his vitriolic crap -- makes my skin crawl.

Ugh, me too as for how it keeps me awake. It also makes for some tasty mixed drinks (Cactus Coolers, anyone?)... And like your other comment, I now feel as though I've drank poison.

Michael Savage is disgusting and gives a bad name to the good conservatives out there, many of whom we know and love right here on the boards.

GC, I'm sure there are lots of LGBT clubs out there who have been unknowingly serving up the stuff. Maybe getting the word out will help get it off the shelves sooner rather than later.

I had no idea. I'll be pulling these off the shelves in my store tomorrow.

I will be pulling them from Gn2Dlnd's shelves, too. As well as a couple of frozen burritos and some Sun chips, which I have heard some disagreeable things about.
