RAN Stumps Toyota: Why Not?

[katakanadian]

"The best for a car company to have an impact on the environment" ...

... is to go out of business.

[Sc0rPsX]

Don't buy from any of the suing evil corporations, simple way to hurt them back! If you can, refuse to buy until you can plug it in.

[phluxualized]

A perfect example of how much more important the APPEARENCE of green is over the fact of it. Just put a bunch of leaves on your branding and people won't know any better. There is a small company in california that's been modifying Prius's to make them fully electric.. Toyota can't figure that one out?! This guy is boldfaced lying.. and that's his job in this situation.

So the man had phony press credentials, BFD. What was interesting that a supposed intelligent business man like Mr. Carter could not come up with any sort of response to a reasonable question. What will Toyota press charges for, misdemeanor public embarrassment?

RAN,

nothing like leaving out the whole story....

A cameraman with fake ID (unfortunatly for the cameraman, the nametag was for someone Bob Carter knew) is recognized and thrown out!

Why didn't you get the proper credentials using your real name?

Shouldn't the proper title for this video be "RAN uses fake ID and gets caught" ???

[RANVideo]

Hi Jim,

You don't think they'd let 'persistent questioners' like us get actual credentials do you?

[jimkellogg887]

Have you tried?

Respect and honesty can help take a good cause much further than disrespect and dishonesty.

chimneybert:

Chicago Tribune reporter says Carter "knocked a video camera out of the hands of an environmental activist."

This disputes your statement. You being untruthful.

[chimneybert]

My heart just breaks for the poor man who decided that he was above the law and whose camera was knocked out of his hands. I guess he'll know better next time to not sneak in disguised as someone else. Oh wait....people like that never learn!

[bettysman]

He's not asking you to feel sorry for him. But you didn't answer my question. By the way, does doing what is necessary to ask a corporation why they flaunt the wishes of our state and our Governor, that left-wing nutcase (your words)Arnold Schwarzenegger, mean someone got away with something? Activists are more than willing to take the consequences of their actions, but will Toyota be held accountable for what it does? Everyone needs to be held accountable!

[chimneybert]

This is why I am glad that I don't live in the Republic of Commifornia. I lived there for 2 years and it was enough for me. The State is so over-regulated and the taxes and cost of living are outrageous. I agree in protecting our environment, but there is a point where we go too far and the extreme left wing is way past that point. Toyota is pushing more than any other auto manufacturer to produce "green" vehicles!

[bettysman]

PS: I was joking when I called Schwarenegger a left-wing nutcase.

[UtoobLoginsucks]

Ha ha, I bet the camera man was mad that the Toyota executive was so quick to recognize the ruse. I don't particularly even care about Toyota. I wonder how much camera man polluted just to get to the event to fail? Don't force your enviro-religion on others!

Thousands of people will buy Sequoias today.

Scoreboard: Toyota 1 zillion, RAN 0.

[milofonbil]

They might think twice after watching the YouTube entitled "My Toyota Sequoia" - Their ball joints fall out and Toyota did not want to recall them until there was a whole history of accidents with deaths. Scoreboard: The truth is out there versus more of Toyota's blatant lies.

[chimneybert]

The idiot who filmed this used a fake I.D. that happened to have the name of one of Mr. Carter's friends from Mercedes. All he did was cover the camera and call security to haul him away. These left wing environmental nutcases think that they can get away with anything! It's too bad that Toyota isn't pressing charges.

[CSSCMatthewEgan]

I love it.
