Reply #89: Good distinction

[CitizenPatriot]

I can't say that I thought this out to that degree; I simply wanted to express my own feelings about this matter. I wasn't calling for a boycott of them, either, just stating how I was going to spend my money and why.

In researching this list, I came across a few boycotts of sponsors -- notably popular right wing hosts calling for boycott of Daily Kos sponsors among others. Apparently, someone didn't like something they wrote.

I wouldn't encourage that sort of thing, as it can stifle free speech if used whenever we don't like something. However, as I stated in my letter to the sponsors, I haven't liked Rush's message for a long time. I wouldn't want to boycott without giving the reason why -- nor did I intend this to be a punishment for someone's ideas or beliefs. They are free to do as they wish; as am I. It is only now that I feel compelled to act upon my feelings-- now that he has acted in a way which obstructs progress at a time when we can't afford pettiness.

I only hope that enough people in this country are tired of hate that we get some traction for having reasonable boundaries. It's rather absurd to run around calling for failure of the new President without any viable reasons save that it makes your party look bad.

I've had ENOUGH:-)
