That was before they took over the dinosaur media and LI voters handed them the reins of power.

So you are against consumerism? You are aware consumers are allowed to decide what products they want to buy and don't want to buy. If a company is stupid enough to throw politics into their product, they deserve the backlash they get from it.

What if this company said we should ban all guns, would you boycott them or keep giving them your money for their product?

Well this is the first support Barilla all the other bigots threads are against Barilla. Ya see the homosexuals are the bigots here.Someone doesn't agree with your lifestyle doesn't make them a bigot makes them of a differing opinion. As with the Chic Fil A boycott we will win you will lose.
We lost the Chick-fil-A boycott? As I recall, Chick-fil-A stopped funding the anti-gay hate groups in response. That was the goal of the boycott.

So, are you saying consumers can't boycott products? I haven't been to chic-fil-a in years and plan to never eat their food again. I don't care if they go out of business or not, they just won't be receiving money from me.

I said that? when? boycott to your hearts content. I am saying that it doesn't make a difference. for every person who boycotts, there will be someone who buys their product because of this. it all evens out.

your anti straight hate lost. I remember the lines at my local Chic Fil A. It was a beautiful site. Oh and no the bigots and haters wanted to drive Chic Fil A out of business and it completely back fired.

Is this thread really different from the others? I've yet to see a discussion that isn't just the same group of people blathering on about how they're going to buy some pasta and complaining about homosexuals hating free expression, because right wing nuts live in some delusional fantasy world where their speech should be wholly without consequence.

Have fun with your pasta though. At least Barilla's pasta is decent (for stuff out of a box), unlike Chic-Fil-A. I'll never understand why people would subject themselves to bad, unhealthy food just to show their support of bigotry.

Maybe, that is the risk a company takes when they are stupid enough to infuse politics with their product. Not every company survives a boycott.
