I disagree. By allowing it to be swept under the rug is giving the left a victory. I compare this to the 2000 elections. I think the left was extremely shocked and rocked on their heels when Freepers and other conservatives protested in Florida and outside the VPs house. They did that sort of crap for years and nobody said boo. Now, when fighting back, the left does not know how to handle it. A boycott is an effective way of fighting back and lets the left know we are not taking this anymore.
I would not compare it to the 2000 election. What the freepers did in Florida changed the course of history and put their efforts where it really counts, in places where the left tries to take power by any means necessary. Look, if people are offended by the change from Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays they should shop somewhere else, and even let the retailer know why. But, organized boycotts over things that are not that significant take away from where we can truly make a difference. I'd rather see all this energy be put toward school vouchers, abortion, so called right to die, and a myriad of other issues where we can really change the culture.
