"You should only get AIDS and die, you pig. How's that? Why don't you see if you can sue me, you pig. You got nothing better than to put me down, you piece of garbage. You have got nothing to do today, go eat a sausage and choke on it." - Michael Savage to a gay caller on MSNBC before he was fired from MSNBC in 2003.

MICHAEL SAVAGE IS THE FOUNDER OF ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK.

His wife Janet is the current CFO, and their son Russell is the CEO.

Some things he's said:

1. "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."

2. "When you hear "human rights," think only one thing: someone who wants to rape your son. And you'll get it just right. OK, you got it, right? When you hear "human rights," think only someone who wants to molest your son, and send you to jail if you defend him. Write that down, make a note of it."

3. ...children's minds are being raped by the homosexual mafia, that's my position. They're raping our children's minds."

4. "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."

5. In November 2007, he said of lesbians: “They’re the ones that Hitler used to stuff ovens with human beings in the concentration camps, only now they pose as compassionate, wonderful human beings.”

6. On his radio show, Savage told listeners that "intelligent people, wealthy people ... are very depressed by the weakness that America is showing to these psychotics in the Muslim world. They say, 'Oh, there's a billion of them.' "Savage continued: "I said, 'So, kill 100 million of them, then there'd be 900 million of them.' I mean ... would you rather us die than them?" Savage added: "Would you rather we disappear or we die? Or would you rather they disappear and they die? Because you're going to have to make that choice, sooner rather than later."

7. On July 5, 2007, radio talk-show host Michael Savage, while discussing a group of San Francisco hunger strikers who were supporting an immigration bill, said, "I would say let them fast till they starve to death...because then we won't have a problem about giving them green cards, because they're illegal aliens."

8. On his March 20, 2007 Savage Nation talk show, he referred to a transgender murder victim as a "freak" and a "psychopath," stating that the victim "should have been in a back ward in a strait jacket for years, howling on major medication... What's this sympathy, constant sympathy for sexually confused people? Why should we have constant sympathy for people who are freaks in every society? I didn't say hurt the freaks. I didn't say do anything to the freaks. But you know what? You're never gonna make me respect the freak. I don't want to respect the freak. The freak ought to be glad that they're allowed to walk around without begging for something."

9. On the air, he says that Latinos "breed like rabbits." He explains that civil rights are a "racket" that is "used to steal only from the white male -- no one else pays the price."

10. On Prez Hilton “I don’t know who that sick, fat, pervert is and I never want to hear his name. He doesn’t exist as far as I’m concerned. He is a piece of human waste with eyes. They take a pervert like him, a homosexual, and make him the judge of Miss USA. What does that tells you…”

11. On Iraqi Prisoners “I think a thousand of [Iraqi prisoners] held in the Iraqi prison should be given 24 hour — a trial and executed….they should put dynamite in their behinds and drop them from 35,000 feet, the whole pack of scum out of that jail.”

12. "With the [Latino] population that has emerged, since they breed like rabbits, in many cases the whites will become a minority in their own nation... The white people don't breed as often for whatever reason. I guess many homosexuals are involved. That is also part of the grand plan, to push homosexuality to cut down on the white race"

13. Discussing student volunteers distributing food to the homeless in San Francisco, Savage declared that "the girls from Branson [school] can go in and maybe get raped... because they seem to like the excitement of it. There's always the thrill and possibility they'll be raped in a dumpster while giving out a turkey sandwich"

Oh, and he's also applauded the abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, opposed aid for tsunami victims, and called for the dropping of nuclear weapons on an an Arab country, any Arab country. He was fired from a brief stint at MSNBC after telling a gay caller to "get AIDS and die".

At a Rockstar-sponsored concert at Concord Pavillion in 2004, Russell Weiner (Michael's son) warmed up the crowd by chanting "Who's heterosexual and proud? If you're not, hopefully you will be soon."

And, Russell alongside his father Michael, co-founded and ran the conservative Paul Revere Society which called for the imprisonment of anti-war activists for sedition. In 2006, the organization had its tax-exempt status revoked.

Russell also ran for office and one of the things on his platform included, "end bilingual education - promote intensive English courses"

Is the extra energy boost really worth it knowing that you're supporting this type of h8te?

Hell no.

Don't drink, buy or promote Rockstar.
Don't drink hate.

SPREAD THE WORD! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

More context:

As covered by Media Matters, on his February 26 broadcast he played an audio clip of the beginning of singer Melissa Etheridge’s acceptance speech at the Academy Awards in which she thanked her wife and four children. That was enough for Savage let loose with his unique brand of hatred:

ETHERIDGE: I have to thank my incredible wife, Tammy, and our four children, Becky and Bailey and Johnnie Rose and Miller, and everyone —

SAVAGE: Turn it off. Get her off my show. I don’t care what her name is. I don’t like a woman married to a woman. It makes me want to puke. How’s that? I want to vomit when I hear it. I think it’s child abuse. That’s my opinion — one man’s opinion. If it’s illegal, tell me it’s illegal to have an opinion in America. Maybe I can be excommunicated for having an opinion.

I want to puke when I hear about a woman married to a woman raising children because, frankly, I think that it’s child abuse to do that to children without their permission. What does a child know? Ask them when they’re 16 whether they want to be raised by two lesbians or two men. What are the two men doing behind the other wall? You think the children don’t hear it?

To clarify, we are not supporting a boycott of PepsiCo. due to their historic track record of being very supportive of the LGBT community including:

Donated $500,000 to PFLAG
Donated $500,000 to Human Rights Campaign (HRC)

PepsiCo requires that its employees attend sexual orientation and gender identity/expression training

They have policies protected and teaching about equality towards Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered employees

They have policies for "gender identity and expression," and "domestic partner benefits." including insurance coverage for transgendered employees which includes leave after surgery, counseling , hormone therapy, and medical visits.

Has ignored calls from the American Family Association to stop supporting the LGBT community

Lets join together with other classes to send a message to Rockstar and it's distributor PepsiCo to say that we will not support any brands that stand for hate and discrimination.
