Did Jet Blue pull due to negative emails or threat of a boycott? Can't we do the same?

[Hamlette]

or is there some other reason JetBlue pulled out of Daily Kos?

1. I already did...

2. Didn't they just pull their name from the site?

I didn't think they pulled their money just the ad. At least that's the way I read it.

3. After flip-flopping on their sponsorship, it's unlikely they will flip back,

but by all means, write to them and tell them that you're disappointed.

O'Reilly called Daily Kos a hate group and compared them to the KKK and Nazis. Meanwhile, Jet Blue advertises on Fox News Channel, who gives air time to hate mongers like Ann Coulter.


Jet Blue is still donating some free plane tickets, but they pulled their name from the list of sponsors. Basically, the coward's move.

here's the most recent Kos link (specifically regarding Jet Blue in particular) I believe:

Also, moree importantly, there's this, from Kos:

"One more note before I move on to more important things.

YearlyKos will be addressed this year by just about the entire Democratic Party leadership -- Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and Dick Durbin.

It will feature a candidate forum of all the top Democratic candidates -- Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd, and Bill Richardson.

It will also be addressed by other notable elected Democrats like Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, Sen. Jon Tester, Reps. Rahm Emanuel, Paul Hodes, Lynn Woolsey, Mike Panetta, Tim Walz, and Steve Kagen. Gen. Wesley Clark will be there, as well as dozens of other mainstream, notable Democrats.

Anyone who tries to claim this is a "hate" gathering is saying, essentially, that the entire Democratic Party is a "hate" party. And sure, there are plenty of rabid crazies on the other side that would make such a claim, but no reasonable person will think that.

And that's the key -- anyone who claims this event is anything but a celebration of the best the Democratic Party has to offer is simply, to put it mildly, blinded by partisan rage and completely out-of-touch with reality."

So Jet Blue thinks that a lineup like that is too controversial? That's incredibly lame.
