6. Boo
I hate W, his policies, his thugs.

But I also think this kind of photo manipulation is cheap and foul. Leave it for the GOP. It's exactly the sort of crap they did to Clinton, and turn around is not fair play when all it does is lead to never ending retaliation. Why shouldn't we be the ones with class and abstain?

9. Because we've tried for nearly 3 years now and it's done no good at all
The Dems have just sat back and have not even pipsqueaked on any number of atrocities Dumbya has committed.

If it were a Dem in office, he would have been impeached if not crucified 20 times over by now.

We MUST stand up for ourselves. We MUST speak out. We MUST do what they are doing because life is not a fable. In fables, good win by being good because good is pure and evil makes mistakes. But (a) this is real life where that's all a keg of cack, and more importantly (b) this is America. We need to take back our country and while we're playin' ethical, the repukes are being more and more unethical which in turn makes it easier for them to "win" and makes us look like real wuss bags by comparison. And the more power they get, the harder they'll make it to keep the system even remotely ethical. Or hadn't you noticed Diebold and "no paper trail", no more exit polls, and Texas redistricting?!

I've had enough of the "ethical" shit. It's just plain UNETHICAL. And if the Dems don't do more to be an opposition party I won't even bother voting anymore. Why waste my time? It makes not a bit of difference when the "opposition" has capitulated so many times. (And you'll agree is better than voting for the most ethical of all political parties, the Green Party.)

3. Well that was fun
The text of my note:

You are probably aware that you have ads running on Rush Limbaugh's radio show. You may not be aware that there is a boycott for advertisers/spondors of this hate mongering show. While you may reach a few people by running ads on his racism, hate-filled, misinformation -driven show, you will no-doubt lose a good deal of customers who take the stance that lying manipulative racists shouldn't be sponsored. One need only go to his website to find evidence.

Do you want Campbells soup to be associated with racism?
Do you want Campbells soup to be associate with hate?
Do you want approx 50% of your customers to be called un-American on a show you sponsor?

Soup may be good food, but not when surrounded by bullshit.

Please pull your ads from his show. At that time I will resume buying your products.

4. "Waiter there's a Turd In My Soup!"
I wonder if the Campbell's soup baby in Iraq is still grinning?

8. My note
Greetings,

It has come to my attention that you are advertising on Rush Limbaugh's show. As much as I like Campbell's soup, I will refuse to buy any of your products as long as you continue to offer advertising support to this blatant lying, ignorant, racist, homophobic jackass and his baseless tirades against everything good and decent in the world.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Dan Brown
Saint Paul, Minnesota

10. No problem
I have no problem with this boycott because I've been boycotting Campbell's since the mid-90s. Campbell's has a history of entering into contracts with farmers that are completely unfair due to unequal bargaining power. My blood is starting to boil just thinking about this company! Rush seems like the perfect fit for them.
