You are totally missing the point. People boycott the Dixie Chicks because of their views. But they don't boycott all of country music, or anything originating from the state of Tennessee, or people who wear cowboy boots for something the Dixie Chicks said.
This boycott in the Middle East is not a boycott to protest the actions of this one paper, it is a boycott of an entire country to protest the basic freedom of speech of private parties in that country. > Yes, because Americans would never boycott someone for their views. > > Hello? Can you say Dixie Chicks? Disney? Ever heard of Pat Robertson? > Jerry Falwell? > Even my diatribe against the LA Times for that article against the > troops? > > Seems to me the only gulf is that they are still amateurs at this game. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:195452 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
