  • bernk1, on 08/02/2008, -20/+10This doesn't bother me all that much. The only real negative thing that I see in the company's recognition of this holiday is that the union agreed to give up Labor Day as a holiday. That strikes me as seriously wrong for a union.
    • mcrunch2, on 08/02/2008, -3/+7Exactly.
    • jb1965, on 08/02/2008, -1/+5Especially when "Labor Day" is a union holiday to begin with!
    • GoldBullion, on 09/21/2008, -0/+0Perhaps you would rather they gave up one of their numerous Jewish holidays?
  • jp111, on 08/02/2008, -3/+18There really aren't camels in the parking lot, are there?
    • karishore, on 08/02/2008, -0/+12no, the camels are in the processing plant with the chickens.... eeewwww.
    • jb1965, on 08/02/2008, -2/+2In all fairness, most Muslims aren't Arabic. It's just that the Arabic Muslims are making all of the headlines with their Jihadi terrorism. Not to say that the non-Arabic Muslims aren't dancing in the streets when some Islamo-fascist blows up a crowd of innocent non-muslims. I thought I would just try to clear up the camel stereotype a little.
  • Taquoshi, on 08/02/2008, -2/+23Well, I guess the union wasn't as excited about Labor Day, which is the holiday commemorating their workers as they were for Eid. Wonder if their workers are also going to fast for Ramadan, too?
    • jb1965, on 08/02/2008, -2/+6Union management is mostly a bunch of freedom hating commies anyway. So to give up a holiday that is supposed to show appreciation for labor for one that commemorates one of the most hate-filled, oppressive man-made religions, is no real shock.
      • KJeffV, on 08/04/2008, -1/+1Exactly!

        fta: "It says union ldrship made this req; makes you wonder who runs the union."
        If one has to wonder who runs the union[s], one simply hasn't been paying attention. Hey, they're taking only your paycheck: no reason to be concerned.
  • congresssucks, on 08/02/2008, -1/+37I haven't bought any chicken with the Tyson label in years, they supported the Clintons and have been getting rich on illegal alien labor.
    • jb1965, on 08/02/2008, -1/+6If they adopted a Muslim holiday, it looks like enough of their illegal immigrate labor is some of the "other-than-Mexican" types that have been flowing across our southern border.
  • jpd2461, on 08/02/2008, -10/+20If the muslims want their dicks sucked, I believe Tyson would drop to their knees to avoid trouble. What fags. This is the same stupid ***** that is going on in Europe.
  • RecordKeeper, on 08/02/2008, -5/+32What part of America being a CHRISTIAN nation doesn't Tyson understand?
    • Tangaroa, on 08/03/2008, -6/+2It could be the part about "We the People of the United States of America", or maybe "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", maybe "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen", perhaps "I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature", or quite possibly "What influence in fact have Christian ecclesiastical establishments had on civil society? In many instances they have been upholding the thrones of political tyranny. In no instance have they been seen as the guardians of the liberties of the people." The Founding Fathers said plenty of things like that.

    • ikbrooks, on 08/03/2008, -3/+5Judging the Creator by the creation's statements? You really are a fool. As such you will suffer the same fate as other fools. Pitiful as you are maybe one day you will do your own research and see what the word says and make your own decisions after seeking God. In doing so He has promised He will make Himself known to you. Make the effort or just remain a fool. The choice is yours.
    • jb1965, on 08/03/2008, -1/+4Tyson is a private company, not some government entity that should be adhering to constitutional valuse. They can do whatever stupid thing they want. They can follow or deny ANY relgious belief or the Christian faith.

      At the same time, they have to understand that any stupid decision that they make can and should have an adverse effect on their market share.
      • cotl, on 08/04/2008, -0/+0I for one will no longer purchase anything made by Tyson. What they did is an insult to Americans, well... the vast majority of Americans anyway.

  • Temlakos, on 08/02/2008, -3/+27Serves Tyson right for hiring a predominantly Muslim labor force to begin with. What does the union's international say about giving up Labor Day, the premier liberal holiday? How many more incidents like this must take place before the backlash?
  • georgiajim, on 08/02/2008, -2/+28Tyson is a bunch of appeasing bastards. Just one more nail in the coffin of our sovereign nation.
  • karishore, on 08/02/2008, -2/+26So.... let's boycott! I am now. And I am spreading the word.
    • SOLGAARD, on 08/02/2008, -0/+14This year i start to raise our own chickens. In honor of Tyson's innanity, i've decided to name THEM ALL "Tyson".
    • gslayer, on 08/02/2008, -0/+5I'm not buying Tyson anymore... I forwarded the article to family.
  • picciano, on 08/02/2008, -1/+32I find it sad that our society would have never accepted a Christian holiday to replace a secular one. But when it's an Islamic holiday that is requested, there's no problem tossing our traditions into the dumpster.
    • gslayer, on 08/02/2008, -0/+5I agree... this is an insult to the loyal Americans. Do you think that these people really care about America? Why should we bend to their wishes?
  • seneca264, on 08/02/2008, -2/+27The last poll conducted indicated that a large amount of young Muslims in the U.S. believe that it is okay to kill the infidel. How long do you think it will be before one of these fine Muslims employed by Tyson decides to poison chicken products?

    Any bets that the FBI has a "hands off" policy with Tyson. I wonder how many of Tyson's employees might be in the U.S. illegally. Most people do not even realize that these folks are not subjected to any backgound investigation before being issued a work VISA and allowed in our country. In other words, our government does not have a clue who these people are.
  • viejoverde, on 08/02/2008, -2/+21Another nail in Tyson's coffin, i for one am not buying their crap made by the enemy. Unfortunately they are a perfect example of what's happening in this country with most of our industries, they are being taken over one by one. They don't need any suicide bombers to take over, they are doing fine.
  • mcrunch2, on 08/02/2008, -3/+21I guess they can have whatever holiday that they want. They would have been better off replacing Martin King's day which is the only holiday devoted to a person (should have been Washington if it was anyone). Dumping Labor Day for a union is like throwing their grandma under a bus. After all, it is the union's holy-day. Very strange indeed.
    • danielttt, on 08/02/2008, -1/+10Big labor has never been about ideals. It's about power and money. A bit of ironic hypocricy won't forstall the goals of "union" "leadership".
    • jb1965, on 08/03/2008, -0/+4Actually observances of Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays were combined into Presidents' Day to make room on the government holiday calander for MLK day.
  • SOLGAARD, on 08/02/2008, -5/+18"I'LL START BUYING "TYSON" CHICKEN, WHEN THEY START WRAPPING IT- IN B-A-C-O-N."

    -db
  • doUknowhim, on 08/02/2008, -2/+20This article is so preposterous, that it boarders on the insane!!
    The new strategy for immigrants..accommodate, don't assimilate. These folks have started something they'll wish down the road, they had not! Did anyone notice the 'prayer rooms' Tyson has in place for the Muslim workers?...."PRAYER ROOMS!!!!" Are they going to accommodate Christians, Jews, Buddhist and other faiths as well? Next, they will push to institute Sharia Law for company rules and discipline. Steal company pens/pencils, lose a hand!
    Sound crazy? Look what's already taken place.
    • gslayer, on 08/02/2008, -1/+5EXACTLY!!! Every other religion should push and sue for being exclueded in this act. Especially Christianity, because it is the MOST discriminated against.
  • raybojabo, on 08/02/2008, -4/+22So now unions are a mouthpiece for communism, and Islam? One more example of how unions are destroying America.
    • chickenbig, on 08/02/2008, -2/+11I couldn't agree more. Unions are the boil on the butt of America.
  • dd12101, on 08/02/2008, -2/+12I will not by their products until they reverse this policy or hopefully go out of business.
  • 7sons, on 08/02/2008, -5/+15So this is how another "American" corporation remembers Sept. 11, and even more appalling is that the electorate is poised to elect an individual whose beliefs are in line with muslims. What will they say when the bombings begin?
  • snirt, on 08/02/2008, -3/+12Unions have always supported the liberal agenda and politics, or anyway the UAW has. Here is the easy way to find out who to vote for if the union endorses the candidate vote for the other one. Union endorsed candidates will start more social programs that you have to pay for through the taxes you have to pay. I suppose the blind that could open there eyes and see but wont open there eyes will always need some one to take them by the hand and lead them to hell. It is not the union members it is the union leaders that are socialist democrats, ounce they have a closed shop they disregard what the membership wants and push the political minority agenda.
  • DuggDowner, on 08/02/2008, -23/+3Are you nutjob Christians gonna boycott? McDonalds, then Tyson--hopefully you Christians will boycott yourselves into starvation. The world could do with far less of your lot.
    • Sandy1000, on 08/02/2008, -3/+7Yes indeed....and right before we go, we're gonna take you out with us! ;)
    • chickenbig, on 08/02/2008, -2/+7You are one incredible piece of art. If it hurts that bad, get an enema.
    • KJeffV, on 08/04/2008, -1/+1Go ahead and eat Tyson prods & McDs, DungDown . . . IF you can actually stomach that crap.
  • cadlac, on 08/02/2008, -3/+15Courtesy of Tyson, we the citizens, have just received another hard shove toward the "boiling-over" point. I already do not buy Tyson's garbage. Now, I will contact them to tell them what a PUTRID, DISGUSTING, DISGRACE they are.
    I think every proud American should do they same and put a serious hurtin' on their profits!
  • iampublius, on 08/02/2008, -6/+14How about just plain old angry Americans boycotting Tyson.
    If Tyson loves muzlims and somali's so much then they can take their operation to their country and see if they can survive there.

    F U C K Tyson and izlam and muh-hammed
  • powdaughter, on 08/02/2008, -2/+13True "Muslims" would not work in a slaughterhouse. Unless Tyson decides to slaughter one chicken at a time in a isolated area where the other chickens don't know what's going on, and with time to pray over each chicken, this is not going to happen. Someone is playing a serious game and this is just the beginning. Wake Up!
    • nippinawassee, on 08/02/2008, -0/+5They are from Somalia, remember? Not only that, why haven't the immigration cops paid a visit to them? Bet a dollar that few if any are legal... cheap but illegal...

      Pack up a nice package of Tyson product, pack it in regular box, send it slow mail to Tyson... ahhhh what a fragrance! Include a note that says due to your religious beliefs, you cannot eat this product as it is spoiled.. demand your money back...
  • DrReaper, on 08/02/2008, -4/+9I find it hard to understand how Tyson can hire a bunch of immigrants from another country in America. Isn't that going against our national security to have enclaves of foreigners in our country? If I were to setup a gun manufacturing plant making rifles and hired nothing but Mexicans wouldn't that set off an alarm? I guess the food system in America is more about producing food then hiring Americans. To think we are exploiting workers in other countries. Allowing them to cross into America so they can be exploited. I don't recognize America anymore. The governments embrace of communism for cheep labor is allowing slavery to exist in the world. They won't be satisfied until the world is enslaved at Chinese wages. I doubt I will every buy tyson chicken again. Don't get me started on the treatment of animals on the modern day farm. They are in the business of cranking out meat, not making sure it's good for the people eating it.
    • DrReaper, on 08/02/2008, -0/+3Former Tyson foods employee speaks out against abuses
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5_jLlP-Yao
      The reason they hire Muslims is they can't get Americans to do the jobs anymore. We have come a long way from the family farm in America.
    • DrReaper, on 08/02/2008, -0/+3Don't watch this if you have a week stomach
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hahvx_qvwzw&feature ...
    • Steyr95, on 08/03/2008, -0/+4I worked with a guy from Somalia for a short time. It's our own government through the state department who's responsible for them being here. There's a civil war these do-gooders in our government can't wait to haul a bunch of them in here. Doesn't matter what party their from anymore. They both will continue to flood our country with third world trash. Vote for Chuck Baldwin.
      • CARHINO, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3These people began coming here under Clinton, who has had a funding link to Tyson foods for years. They get visas for asylum, then tyson gets reimbursed by the govt for part of their wages. Simply put, Americans won't do the work, FOR THE PAY TYSON IS WILLING TO OFFER, so their cronies import a slave labor class that will, at taxpayer expense.
  • tradcath4ever, on 08/02/2008, -1/+13I sure would like to know how this was handled last year. Did all the muslims that work there take off that day? Did the muslims call in with the "blue flu" on that day? Once again our traditions are being replaced to kowtow to the illegals. I bet if the Christians at Tyson requested a small chapel room where they could pray on their breaks or during their lunch hour it would be denied. It never ceases to amaze me how quiet these illegals are in their own countries before they enter ours ILLEGALLY and shout their heads off to accommodate them. All I can say is if you don't LIKE our country and our traditions, GO BACK HOME!!! I agree with JP111---better check the parking lot for camels.
  • pilgrim2497, on 08/02/2008, -3/+14If America is to survive, the battle cry of a new generation must be, Diversity Be Damned!

    No more Tyson for me, thanks.
    • IvoteGOAfirst, on 08/02/2008, -1/+6This is a prime example of what Michael Savage, Ph.D., of The Savage Nation talk radio has said: "Diversity is Perversity!" To which I can only add, "The chickens have come home to roost."
      • jp111, on 08/02/2008, -1/+7"Diversity simply means you have no convistions", BobC

        How about the Moozslims and a little diversity? Maybe treat Christians, or any non-Moozy, like humans beings.....say...stop teaching that all non-Moozies come from pigs and monkeys in school, perhaps.....nahhhh, just a dumb thought.
  • TxMagi, on 08/02/2008, -13/+3Goodness gracious......1st of all, America is NOT a Christian nation, it was founded BY Christians, but allowing most people to practice their religion as they chose. It's a nation whose majority are Christian, but NOT an exclusively Christian nation. 2nd, the majority of employees at Tyson that voted for the holiday are Muslim. So...in both cases, majority rules. Is that not what elections are for, well......with the exception of the ummmmm one that took place in 2000.
    • Sandy1000, on 08/02/2008, -1/+9Presidents are not elected by the majority of the people - they are elected by the electorate college, so the majority vote is irrelevant.
    • IvoteGOAfirst, on 08/02/2008, -2/+9You think that's what elections are for - majority rules? NO, that's not what OUR elections are for. Looks like we could all use some brushing up on reading our Constitution! By the way, what happened to the liberals' mantra espousing "separation of church and state?" That's not in the Constitution either. Only the liberals think so. Oh, yeah, that only applies to Christians and other non-Islamists, right? (sarcasm) Now we're seeing what happens when the majority is forced to go through "diversity training" to get or keep a job.
    • jp111, on 08/02/2008, -3/+8You are simply another dumb lib screwball......election in 2000....all counted Bush won....or pehaps you don't know how to read! Gore went to the supreme court and the court made them count them again....Gore still lost....I don't like either of them but facts are facts.......wasn't it a famous........commie that said "Repeat the lie enough and people start to belive it." Well, there's one caveat to that that.....Stupid people believe it! Which are you the Commie or the stupid one?
    • socialisthunter, on 08/02/2008, -1/+6another little serf speaks.
    • jb1965, on 08/03/2008, -0/+5Remember! If Algore hadn't lost Tennessee and Arkansas (the ONLY incumbent presidential candidate to lose both his state and the president's state), Florida would have just been a laughing stock. Not that they weren't a laughing stock anyway! I mean HOW STUPID can you be not to be able to fill out a ballot?! Idiots, criminals, and aliens are the only people Democrats want voting for them! The 2000 election was the same one where the Democrats were trying to stop the military overseas absentee ballots!

      And why is it there are voting irregularities in majority Democrat precincts?! In 2004 it was the most liberal precincts in Ohio that were busted for voter fraud and irregularities!

      OH YEAH! And Tyson SUCKS! Clinton backin' pagan appeasers!
    • Steyr95, on 08/03/2008, -0/+5TxMagi, You're another typical leftist imbecile with no knowledge of this countries history. Try getting a real education and quit listening to the idiots on the alphabet channels.
    • Teribssn, on 08/05/2008, -0/+2By the way.....it wasn't a majority vote in Tyson Factory. Only 20% of the workers are Muslim! That's not a majority in my book. Just more pandering and kissing up to Muslims! Bah! Unions are just trying to get more workers so they can get more union dues out of them!
    • karishore, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1Still crying about 2000? You must be John Kerry... uh oh did I expose you?
  • Adelyn123, on 08/02/2008, -3/+15Wow - I will no longer purchase Tyson foods! To take away a US National Holiday for a Muslim holiday is a slap in the face of every American. If the Muslim want that holiday they should have made a religious holiday a floater like Christmas. Then the Muslim's could take the day for them and the Christians could use it for Christmas.

    I hope the hell Tyson sales drop 10 fold as a result!!!!
    • IvoteGOAfirst, on 08/02/2008, -0/+3If it depends on my money, they will. Arrogant Union dictators don't think it will affect production. Let's see if our purchasing or non-purchasing power has anything to do with that!
  • Adelyn123, on 08/02/2008, -1/+7TxMagi - Do you really think the employees actually had a vote? Sounds like the Union made that choice! Oh and in case you didn't notice Labor Day is not a Christian Holiday, it's an American Holiday, like I said in my previous post, if this is about religion then make Christmas a floating holiday to be used by any religion for whatever holiday they would like to respect!
    • jp111, on 08/02/2008, -1/+4There was no vote on the holiday. That's just another anti American sympatizer.
  • pilgrim2497, on 08/02/2008, -1/+12By TxMagi's reasoning if enough of his kind worked in a plant they could replace Easter with Barney Frank's birthday. To hell with that! America was built on certain beliefs, if you lose the beliefs, you lose America---but isn't that the point of the muslims and their mental midget defenders like TxMagi.

    No thinking American wants great and beautiful America ruled like the sand pits in the middle east. Without their oil, these muslims would be licking camel dung to survive. Without their oil they are backward creatures controlled by a religion of darkness---and one day their oil will run out, or maybe our nation could just go and take it. Yea, that's the ticket!
  • Sabonel, on 08/02/2008, -1/+10our local news channel, just did a story on the faith of the CEO of Tyson, John Tyson. I didn't get to catch it, but from what I gather he's a born again Christian. This is a real disappointment to me, because he's from my neck of the wood. Of course he's isn't the CEO anymore.
    • DrReaper, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2The bible says you will know them by their deeds. This guy isn't a christian.
      • Sabonel, on 08/04/2008, -0/+0Well I found out right after I put that comment up that John Tyson was CEO of Tyson until' 2006. so we can't put the blame on him about it. I guess it belongs to investors now.
  • mdwhite, on 08/02/2008, -1/+8My family will never buy another Tyson product. That company's competitors can now count on my business. How's that for exercising "diversity"...?
  • chickenbig, on 08/02/2008, -1/+8Well, at least we know the Somalians won't infest the hog processing plants or the pet industry. This sucks. From now on, I am off to the local butcher for my chicken.
  • Wesen, on 08/02/2008, -3/+7Here is the best response I have found:
    "The recent union contract of the plant located in SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. that eliminates Labor Day in favor Eid al-Fitr, a Muslim holiday is an outrage. Your anti-American act will not go without consequence. I and millions of Americans are vehemently outraged by your dhimmi acquiescence and you will lose millions in sales. If you still wish to bow like slaves to your filthy Muslims masters then you do at a great loss of business for I as well as millions of Americans will not by your products, ever. The only way you will get my and millions of other consumers business back is to IMMEDIATELY rescind this anti-American action and issue an apology to all Americans. Do it now or suffer the consequences."

    • CARHINO, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3Stopped buyibg Tyson way back when clinton defended their polluting of areas around their plants, and slave labor like practices.
  • gslayer, on 08/02/2008, -2/+8Tyson has taken a very disturbing action in taking away an American holiday.
    • jb1965, on 08/03/2008, -0/+5Actually Tyson sold out a union holy day for a repressive man-made religion's holy day.
  • rjwusa, on 08/02/2008, -4/+12One more reason to avoid using Tyson products. Now there's the increased risk of having some Muslim cell member mixing some ricin, cyanide, anthrax, salmonella or other chemical or biological agent in the product. I wonder how many fast food joints use Tyson products?
    • maybeth, on 08/02/2008, -1/+8I was thinking the same thing. I don't believe that these food contamination outbreaks are a coincidence. No more Tyson for me. Chicken, beef, pet food, tomatoes,jalapenos, etc. seem to be having increasing problems with contamination. I think the US' enemies will use whatever means they can to harm us.
  • MaximusDelta, on 08/02/2008, -1/+13Goodbye Tyson products...I will be buying a different brand...
  • nippinawassee, on 08/02/2008, -1/+9And as for unions? Outside of demanding insanely high salaries for unskilled workers (so they can raise the union dues of course), what does a union actually do for anyone except themselves? Way, way back they actually did worthwhile things, while still collecting union dues - the sweatshops, the 12-14 hour days, children working long hours for little to nothing, the unions went in and did accomplish the cleaning up of this mess. However, nowadays? All they do is want higher wages for unskilled workers so they can collect higher dues. When problems come and the company is shut down because of strike, the union reps disappear as soon as the striking employees run out of $$$. They just disappear. No $$$ - no union rep. I would hand this to Tyson AND the union.
  • lastgleaming, on 08/02/2008, -2/+10This is just plain nuts. The kind of brain dead 'diversity' is a killer. You can have a multiracial nation but you can not and will not remain cohesive as a nation that is multicultural - think Yugoslavia and Iraq - both cobbled together by the stupid colonial powers after World War I - they thought they knew what they were doing at the time but then this is the same bunch that provided the impetus for the eventual creation of the UN. We know how very competent and uncorrupt those bozos are - how much they have done for Darfur et al.

    Refugees are being foisted on us from all over the world. We are basically a nation based on Judeo/Christian Western laws and thinking. No nation that wants to remain viable can get rid of its history and tradition, culture and language, without disappearing into the dustbin of history. Find me one instance where this has not been the case. The Chinese are a civilization that is 5000 years old. They have managed to survive monarchies, feudalism, colonialism, Marxism and capitalism and they are STILL Chinese fist, last and always.

    We can no longer afford to take in every member of the Third World and all their hangups and fights and traditions without doing major damage to our own. The cost of all this is going to bankrupt us and there will come a time perhaps refugees won;'t want to come here because there will be nothing to come for except crumbling ruins and infrastructure, gangs and warlords, and walled forts plus feudalism. The powers that be on both sides of the spectrum are doing what years of Soviet Communism Marxism could not - they have combined venal every man for himself capitalism that has no loyalty to any nation with feel good kumbaya obamanation clap trap. Funny thing is the taking in of millions of refugees from incompatible cultures has had the greatest negative impact on our own minorities - particularly African Americans. The US State Dept. and activist groups bringing in uncounted numbers of refugees must begin to get a grip. Unless these idiots are willing to pay for it all and the impact other cultures have on US citizens besides exotic foods and dress - WE the people have to decide once and for all - how many we can absorb in this nation and from which cultures. You might look at it like a quilt project - you can combine cotton and cotton, wool and wool, or silk and silk, but a quilt made of polyester and cotton is going to be weakest at points it is joined through stitching - it comes apart in the wash. When you look around at the world - the most long lived societies and cultures are those that have the MOST in common - it has always been so and it will always be so - that is until the Second Coming and I don't think the American establishment pushing this mish mosh of kumbaya junk is any where close to that.
  • notbysight, on 08/02/2008, -3/+10American Islam is like a small Xotic slow moving Boa constrictor, aided by the courts and ignorant tolerant liberals in every facet of our culture,(the same group that brought us the homosx Pandora box liberation,)....growing, coiling and squeezing till we cant fight it off.
  • jassatt, on 08/02/2008, -3/+10Looks like Tyson has now added a new recipe for disaster.

    Eat more pork. Lots of it. Put a raghead out of work.
    • indygirl, on 08/03/2008, -0/+2this just struck me as funny. visions of "the other white meat" commercial potential...
  • powdaughter, on 08/02/2008, -3/+8Okay, let's try this: If you are a devout Muslim, religious enough to demand a specific holiday to honor God, why would you defile yourself and damn yourself forever from God's sight, by working in a slaughterhouse; you can't even eat Tyson products because they are not processed according to Muslim law. Also, did the high percentage of non-American workers exist BEFORE Tyson experienced labor strikes? When (and how) did these workers become integrated into the system? Since our immigration only allows working visas to those with "critical skills" (and are at this moment revisiting and cancelling visas for foreign nationals employed in the financial world) how do these people qualify as having "critical skills".
    I'm all for people taking opportunities, working hard and integrating themselves into their chosen society. However, there is more here than meets the eye. Get yourself educated, people, and don't merely parrot what you see on TV--some of these comments are written as though the writers were there and involved in the situation--I have a feeling your thoughts are programmed by what you are exposed to in the (controlled) media. Educate yourself BEFORE you form an opinion; keep an open mind and LISTEN those who have knowledge of the real world.
    • CARHINO, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3Under clinton they were allowed as "high demand". Long history of clinton/tyson ties, back to his days as rapist in chief in arkansas.
  • rkeyo, on 08/02/2008, -2/+12Tyson is one of the worst companies in the US. They throw tons of money at the Dummocraps, hire thousands of criminal aliens - probably including most of the Islamic pigs working for them - and seem to think the laws don't apply to them. As congresssucks said, I haven't bought Tyson products for years, and sure ain't about to start now...
  • DWposts, on 08/02/2008, -5/+9The religion of death and savagery known as Islam has worn out it's welcome. It's time we expel all muslims, including those born in the US. Start with the human cockroaches known as Somalians.
  • DWposts, on 08/02/2008, -6/+7I think we should recognize Ramadan as a hunting season for muslims. No bag limit, no permit fees, check-ins are voluntary and only if you want to compete for the highest-kill prize (heads only, please.)

    American converts 10 points
    Somalians 8 points
    Males 6 points
    Females (breeders) 6 points
    Females 3 points
    ** Bonus points for males named Mohammed**
  • socialisthunter, on 08/02/2008, -2/+10If you need an example on how recent times unions are destroying this country, you need to look no further than our beloved NEA, their agenda is 90% to benefit teachers not students, they are the BIGGEST lobbying group in washington, they CONTROL democrats, they have been producing little government serfs for decades, which is what the government wants.
    About Tyson, i don't even think their muslim workers are even illegals, they are the results of murderer Kennedy's immigration reform of the 60's when he opened the doors to the third world population, thanks you bastard.
  • capitaino, on 08/03/2008, -1/+2Time to recognize? You mean to tell me Santa was booked?
    How about the second Sept.11th next year.
    We could call it, rama-lama-ding-dong!

    Next thing you know they'll want a piece of the pork industry.
  • bytethehand, on 08/03/2008, -0/+6This is very sad. The AMERICAN troops are being trained in Iraq to invade a country that the congress is killing. If Tyson is bowing down to muslim workers it makes it easyer to cut off the the Tyson head. I am not buying any more Tyson foods. I am very sad that our country will not stand up and say enough is enough.
    I think when We do it will be too late.

    GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS
    GOD BLESS AMERICA

  • p51d007, on 08/03/2008, -0/+4http://www.tyson.com/Corporate/CustomerService.asp ...
    Not that it will do any good, but you can at least flood the customer service mailbox with
    a ton of email.
  • Steyr95, on 08/03/2008, -0/+6I haven't eaten Tyson's crap in years. It was bad enough with all the illegal labor and their filthy personal hygiene from Mexico. Now we have Somali's in the food supply? How wonderful. Clinton's buddies hiring more "Trojan Horses". Dumb asses. How many ways does the US Government have to undermine our countries sovereignty?
