And you thought "freedom fries" was bad…

For pure stupidity, just leave it to the Republicans.

“You don’t support Democrats. Why should your ketchup?” says the W Ketchup Internet site wketchup.com, which promises a totally US-made condiment, right down to the bottle.

W Ketchup insists its initial stands for Washington, as in first president George Washington, whose face adorns its bottle beneath the Stars and Stripes.

“Choose Heinz and you’re supporting Teresa and her husband’s Gulfstream Jet, and liberal causes such as Kerry for President,” it warns. “When you choose W Ketchup, you also support the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships to the children of our brave heroes who have fallen in battle.”

“Thank you for giving us a delicious American alternative to the standard Heinz Ketchup. Henry Heinz may have been a great American, but I have absolutely no interest in supporting The Kerry’s anti-American causes,” wrote “S.S” of Akron, Ohio.

    the funniest (or most ironic) thing really is that the Heinz company is run by right-wing Republicans. Therese Heinz Kerry owns stock in the co. (less than 5%) but isn’t on the board and doesn’t own the co.

    Indicative of our “consumerism-as-activism” political culture. You don’t – indeed, you shouldn’t – get involved beyond what you can buy or sell. That’s now your job as a citizen.
