"As much as I dislike the fact that Costco's chief gives a lot of money to Democrats, to turn around and financially "punish" him is a little too "Jesse Jackson" for my taste. It hurts the economy and it hurts the right of people to freely do what they want with their money."

No, it doesn't hurt the economy for me to spend my money at Sam's Club instead of Costco. If wealthy executives, singers, actors, etc. choose to use their position/celebrity to forward a liberal agenda, then they've already crossed the "polite company" line and shouldn't whine when their conservative customers/fans choose to shop elsewhere. Freedom of speech works both ways.

Jesse Jackson is a con man, a "shake down artist" and a charlatan. I am not asking anyone to do anything they don't want to do, in exchange for personal financial gain, or to force Costco to hire 500 white conservatives!
