The only thing "boycotts" do, as far as a T.V. or radio show is concerned, is bring it more ratings.

And bring in more revenue for Bill Donahue and his ilk. This business of screaming that the sky is falling, the country is going to hell, the Evil_________ are taking over, bla, bla, bla is one of the most lucrative rackets going. And con men of the Left and Right, religious and secular milk it for all it's worth. The key is to keep the rubes in a constant state of panic and crisis so they keep sending in those checks.

I didn't approve of the Gay groups boycott of "Dr."Laura, even though I depise her, and I think this foolishness is every bit as bad.

I'm old enough to remember going to Mass and once a year having to stand up to take a pledge not to watch any movies condemned by the "Legion of Decency."
Anyone wanna go back to the Index of Forbidden books?

Red Skelton used to say at the end of his show;Thank you for inviting us into your home. Howard Stern won't be coming into my home because I won't "invite" him. If others choose to invite him into their homes that's fine by me.
