Not that I haven’t read that kind of logic before.
Some weeks ago, Stephen Hawking decided not to take part in an Israeli conference (in the honour of the questionable Shimon Peres). And some Israeli journalists challenged him to shut up his life.saving apparatus because it had Intel inside.
That’s a convincing argument only as long as you are an interested party.

You think that we should boycott no one, if we can’t boycott all and everyone whose behaviour we don’t want to support?
Sounds insane to me.
Do you think we shouldn’t avoid some sins, if we can’t avoid all and everyone?

My sagacious Dr Throckmorton,
Weren’t you aware of this tactic employed by the charlatans to assuage their less educated listening audience to join their cause, it’s call ‘Boycott by Convenience’.
Case in point, the prideful Linda Harvey pontificated on her blog Mission America, how she refuses to shop at Macys, JCP, Home Depot, The Gap, etc. She furthers by stating that she will not allow her family members to shop these corporations who support the ‘Gay Agenda’. What Mz Harvey conveniently omits is that she uses an IPhone(Apple), and her blog is supported by Windows(Microsoft). Apple and Microsoft both support same-sex marriage.
I chuckle at the hypocrisy of the likes of Barton and Harvey. It is testimony to how truly ‘convicted’ they are…NOT!
Just yesterday, Harvey, LaBarbera, Barber, and Diane had a ‘Press’ conference in front of the HRC in Wash DC. The selected social media used to convey their message…YouTube(Google). Does Google support the homosexual community? In the immortal words of that illustrious Governor from Wasilla AK, Churchy Spice, “You Betcha!”

IOW, Barton should cut off his nose to spite his face.

Hypocrisy notwithstanding, as well as practical concerns regarding actual effects, I will side with Barton in this one respect only: it is the prerogative of Americans to choose to support–or withhold support from–companies, by virtue of their social positions. I have done this myself on several occasions. There are companies I do not support right now for such reasons, and I support Americans of all persuasions in their right and prerogative to do the same. As an employee of Chick-fil-A, I blogged my support for such rights of those who boycotted our restaurant last year, regardless of how I felt about their position.
And that’s all I have to say about thaaaa–aaaat…

Warren, I never thought of this before. Ha-ha-ha, that is pretty funny.
