If we were as organized and committed as the left we would immediately start boycotting those businesses that advertise on Letterman. Say what you will about Sharpton and Jackson, they are very good at this and we are not. Their followers will organize and follow through on a boycott, ours will not. That's why we on the right (especially here in the Northeast) walk on egg shell praying we don't offend a "victim" why they get away with anything they want.

Letterman should be given the same treatment that Imus got but we know it won't come from the media.

There is a reason we on the right tend to avoid boycotts . . .

they tend to harm innocent people (e.g. employees of boycotted firms) more than the actual target (e.g. Letterman / CBS)

Same with “strikes” - who suffers the most when City workers strike - the city or the people who rely on city services?
