there is no hypocrisy. they have a right to boycott his show and i have a right to boycott their products. it is all fair! we are all exercising our constitutional rights!
Who said anything about boycotting being hypocritical? I was responding to the content of her email to P&G.
Quote:
There is a full blown attack on free speech both from the radical left all the way up to the White House. I will not be doing business with any company that supports the further destruction of the freedoms we hold dear in this country.
So Beck is allowed free speech but P&G is attacking free speech, not exercising it.
Well I will not do business with those companies and I'm emailing them to tell them. The pendelum swings both ways.
Boycotts of stuff you never bought (lawyers.com, progressive) only make you feel empowered. I'm boycotting Monaco and won't be flying to the Riviera this year. The cute chick on the commercial is going to ban you from the jdevelop2 aisle. I can't remember seeing any lawyers.com commercials.
... snip ... So Beck is allowed free speech but P&G is attacking free speech, not exercising it? Absurd.
LOGIC is a beautiful thing.

I would avoid radio period. Between the right wing radicals and religious nutcases on the AM band and the potty mouthed foul DJs on the FM band, there is really not much to associate a product with.
P&G along with the others have not intimidated Glenn Beck now will they. He will continue to expose the joker hussein obama with or without their ads, as he did today.
