The racial epithets at the Palin rally were not real, yet it was a big issue about how she encouraged hatred. These are real and yes they probably are few, but nobody seems to care. > And honestly, calling a boycott hate is patently ridiculous.

I didn't mention hate. Boycotts are fine, I participate myself sometimes. My concern is targeting individuals and boycotting the business based on an employee's donation. That sounds like McCarthyism, the term the left trots out so often until they do it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:280529 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
