Look, Im a Catholic and all, but Donahue has just got to chill out. Let Howard rise and fall on his own ratings. But typically, these advertisers will fall for this drummed up "boycott" which, in reality, will be inconsequential (Haven't heard any negative effects from the supposed boycott of Toyota b/c of their capitulating to Jesse Jackson).

Most people have busy lives and don't care one way or another about these silly boycotts. Those who do have way too much time on their hands.

Your post proves what I've thought for some time: Many if not most Catholics are too wimpy or lazy to care or respond when their religion is belittled and p-ss-d on by the media. Donahue looks like a crank because he's out there alone - - where are the bishops and the other laity? Snoozing, apparently.

I'm not a Catholic, and I used to be amazed at how much anti-Catholic venom is spewed by movies and TV. Given the large numbers of Catholics in this country, I thought to myself, why do the media moguls risk the wrath of such a major portion of the population? I stopped asking this question some years ago when I concluded the same thing that the media must have concluded - the Catholic church is about as much to be feared as a wet towel. Indeed, many of its priests shake hands with all the firmness of a wet towel. When parishioners are preached at week after week by wimpy priests (many of them gay) many it's not surprising the Catholic laity is so passive while their religion gets pummeled by the media.

At least you can say for protestant evangelical leaders such as Falwell and Robertson and Dobson - they fight back like men.

My Church has been boycotting Disney for 10 years. A lot of good that has done. It's like kicking a giant in the shin
