New wing nut talking point, re: Toyota Obama is picking on Toyota

[county worker]

because their manufacturing plants are in red states and are not unionized and Obama owns GM and wants to own Toyota. Heard on KOGO San Diego this morning.

The congressional hearing into Toyota's recall problems are happening because Obama is picking on Toyota.

1. I'm sure Richard Shelby, R-Toyota, Alabama, will agree.....

..... being the rancid mound of T-Rex dung that he is.

2. Wow. They've fought against their own jobs and now they're fighting against their own safety.

:crazy:

[NJmaverick]

3. Well it's better than admitting the GOP over looked glaring safety hazards

that killed American citizens.

4. Toyota is picking on us

with lethal vehicles. Or doesn't that matter?

P.S. It isn't as though they're an AMERICAN car company... :eyes:

5. Safety is a liberal plot. It is socialism! n/t

[Barack_America]

6. Well, "safety" is similar to...WELFARE!

:scared:

7. As usual they don't have their facts correct.

The Toyota (NUMMI) plant in California was unionized and in a blue state. And there is a plant in Kentucky with a Democratic Governor and House.

10. Unfortunately they want to close this plant...

also heard they want to open another one down south. Obama is not making this political but Toyota did long ago according to the recent e-mails released.

8. I saw this talking point a few weeks ago on Fox Business Channel

It was a hoot.

9. Did Shelby stop regulators from looking at TOYOTA????

As usual, the GOP is way out ahead of the Dems. The REAL
question is, did Shelby have LOTS to do with the fact that
Toyota had no regulatory interference or interest during the
BUSH years? You know, the last 8 years before 2009? Not one
Dem has asked this on prime time V or radio. Shame on dumb
dems.

11. Good. It's a losing meme.

Most people see Toyota as being dishonest now.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

12. It's pretty obvious that they are still in coverup mode.

[Romulox]

13. My god. Is there any worse spokesperson for Republicans than Haley Barber?

Baron Harkonen was more charming in the David Lynch version of Dune.

[Arkana]

14. This is a fight they won't win.

Pretty sure that slapping Toyota around for this is not only right, but popular--and the GOP wants to side with them?

Wrong move, dickwipes.
