What criteria do you have to boycott something or someone?

[coloradodem2005]

For me, with Pete Coors running for Senate as a Republican, I will not drink anything made by Coors. Even Killians now. I will not listen to Ted Nugent, though that ain't much to give up. I will not go to Wal Mart. On the other hand, I still watch Frasier, even though Kelsey Grammer is a Republican. I still listen to the first Montrose album among other things even though Sammy Hagar is a Republican. I still occasionally listen to stations owned by Fear Channel. So what criteria do you have to boycott something?

1. according to bill o'reilly

the king of boycott, any stupid shit will do

[whistle]

2. Okee dookee, besides the Rockie mountain fresh brewed beer....

...that bears the family name, can you provide a list of other products and companies that Coors Company controls? That's where I would begin and then distribute that list to all who agree with your position and reasoning. Peter Coors I understand is one of the dangerous neo-con RW anti-U.S. constitution fascists who want to get complete control of the U.S. government, so links to articles on the man, his beliefs, his activities and associates would be very helpful too. Also, see if it's possible to get somebody like an FBI operative or insider to leak FBI files on the Coors family. That should be enlightening as well. Good luck!

5. Boycott anti-Union

7. It's hard to define any specific criteria.

I've been boycotting Bacardi (supports the anti-Castro Cuban mafia), Walmart (monopolistic, anti-labor, sweatshop loving), and Coors (funded right-wing Scaife media).

I also had bee boycotting Home Depot in favor of Lowe's, but I think I'm going to abandon that one. I know Home Depots bigwigs are big Bush supporters, but from what I understand, at least Home Depot treats it's employees better than Lowe's.

8. I rarely boycott politically, my criteria is far more shallow

If I don't like their advertisements, I boycott.

9. I will not drink Snapple

because I heard it advertised on a Rush Limbaugh program many years ago.

10. Actually, I'm not seriously boycotting anything....

Coors: Yes, they're Nazis. But I disliked the beer before I knew that.

Walmart: I know why I should avoid them. But I found the first Walmart I visited to be grim & depressing. I live in a big city with many alternatives & never went back.

Entertainers in general: They have to be blatant, obvious right-wingers--juse hearing they might be Republican is not enough. I was never a big fan of Schwarzenegger or Dennis Miller. So, no sacrifice for me. I've heard Robert Duvall is to the right, but I'd gladly buy a copy of "Lonesome Dove"--if they ever release the whole thing on DVD!
