Toyota spokesman responds in the Detroit News, asking “How do you tell a worker in Kentucky who’s producing a Toyota that his job is worth less than another American autoworker’s?” How indeed. And we thought the bailout was about fighting racism.

    Ressler, when you get a minute, let's hear your take on "rice based companys [sic]." For extra credit, compare and contrast with "rice ready, not road ready."

    ...let’s hear your take on “rice based companys [sic].” Uncle Ben's comes to mind. ...compare and contrast with “rice ready, not road ready.” I wrote previously that I have no idea what this means. Phil

    Ressler: "Uncle Ben's comes to mind..." What? Is this TheTruthAboutCerealsAndGrainsDotCom, Ressler? Ressler: "I wrote previously that I have no idea what this means." Sure you don't. Even though lashbera spelled it out for you, right there, with "jap based vehicle," "japanese based company" and "rice based companys [sic]." Yeah. Nobody knows what "rice ready, not road ready" means. Especially those that don't want to know.

    lashbera:... "Anyone fool enough to by Toyota or any jap based vehicle deserves to be jobless during this recession. How can anyone think a japanese based company would do anything that doesnt put money in their own bank accounts in japan. The rice based companys are very smart and have managed to brainwash a great number of americans into thinking they are helping the U.S. Go ahead, Buy that new rice burner and be ready to prolong the current recession." Alright, I will. And hopefully the Big 3 (not so big anymore) will be the first to fall and take the UAW with them. Jap-based? Rice-based? FOOLISH?...no, look in the mirror and you'll see racist ignorance.
