Write to Rockstar Energy Drink, and Ask Them to Clarify Their Position on LGBT Rights

Over at the Bilerico Project, we have a guest post up today about the ties between conservative shock jock Michael Savage, and Rockstar Energy Drink.  As we've noted, Savage is the co-founder of the beverage, and his son (Russ Weiner) is currently the CEO.  And both of them have a string of anti-LGBT comments that make Fred Phelps look like Miss Manners.

And now we'd like you to write the company, and ask them to explain whether or not they feel the same way about LGBT rights and autism as their founder does.

Here's a few of Michael Savage's deplorable remarks:

• "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."
• "[Sodomites] should only get AIDS and die..."
• "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."
• "...children's minds are being raped by the homosexual mafia, that's my position. They're raping our children's minds."

Why support a beverage company that rewards the pockets of a man who says vile things like those listed above?  Please, consider signing the petition to Rockstar's CEO Russ Weiner, asking him whether or not the energy drink agrees with these comments, or disavows them.
