I for the most part don't do boycotts, just like Rush.
There is a difference here though. The term Jew is racial whereas the people named below for boycott are individuals of whom I do not know their origin. So your comment isn't right. I don't think boycotts work or help matters when all is said and done. Let's keep the disscussion civil and not personal. Then if we run into each other we can enjoy a beer together. There is a helluva a lot more we have in common than not. Thomas Borchert wrote in message ... Richard, Also Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, Leatherman multi-tools and Patagonia. Here's a list of outdoor recreation companies that endorsed Kerry.... Great idea. "Don't buy from Kerry supporters". Just like "Don't buy from Jews". Now, where again did that lead? The idiocy in this group has reached new heights... |

from Jews". Now, where again did that lead? The idiocy in this group has reached new heights.. Political boycott is not idiotic, it is a valid form of protest (except, rather pointless once an election is over). Comparing political boycott with an ethnic boycott, which is nothing but persecution, is disingenuous to say the least. |

In article , RobertR237 says...
I could even accept his throwing his medals away and would have had some respect for that if he had not retrieved them and then tried to wear them again as some badge of honor. You can't have it both ways. Had he simply stood by his convictions, even when it didn't seem to be the most politically attractive thing to do, I could have accepted and supported him. I can admire a man who stands by his convictions, even when the disagree with my own. Kerry had never show such convictions and neither do many of his most vocal and ardent supporters. Exactly how I feel about him . If he would have said something like "Bush sent our factorys overseas.But if I'm elected I'll have my wife bring all of her overseas companies back to the USA" Hmmm Now that would show a bit of courage in ones convictions. Or how about " I've been against the NRA and gun owners for 20 years and voted against them every chance I had .If I'm elected I'll continue my war against guns". Now that would have been an honest statement. But instead he goes Goose hunting thinking gun owners are naive enough vote for him. Chuck S |

It does not mean to stand by the President." - President Theodore Roosevelt |
