...Mcarthyism, censorship is NOT the same thing as a boycott. I'm getting tired of people comparing the two. I remember helping organize boycotts in the late 60's and early 70's. Consumer boycotts are a right, and I defend the right of anyone to organize and promote a boycott. Sure, they can be based on just about anything...that's the beauty of the boycott. It's one of the last ways we as a little consumer can fight the corporations and powerful.
We're just as able to boycott on the basis of politics...heck, I've seen a few lists floating around here about "which" stores to shop at. Is that also Mcarthyism to you?
