It's Miller Time - Not Around Here It Isn't

Miller Brewing Company is sponsoring the march in Chicago in support of illegal alien activists. From the Chicago Tribune (registration required)

"...as demonstrators march from Chinatown to House Speaker Dennis Hastert's (R-Ill.) Batavia office this weekend, they will have Miller Brewing Co., as a sponsor. The brewer has paid more than $30,000 for a planning convention, materials and newspaper ads publicizing the event.The support of a major corporation for a controversial political cause shows how fierce the competition has become to woo the growing market of Latino consumers.

For Miller, the march offered a special chance to catch up. This spring the brewer drew the ire of pro-immigrant forces over contributions to U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), who sponsored legislation that would crack down on illegal immigrants. That prompted a short-lived boycott by some Latino groups.

Now, march advertisements feature not just the organizing committee's trademark blue globe but Miller's logo and a Spanish translation of its 'Live Responsibly' slogan, a company effort to build goodwill among Latinos."


As Michell Malkin writes: Live responsibly? By supporting law-breaking?

I don't drink any Miller Brewing Company products but for those of you that do, and if you find this as reprehensible as I do, all in the effort to make a buck on the part of Miller Brewing Company, I suggest that a boycott of their products is in order.
