“the astro turf group that started this CLAIMS 600 members.

I bet they did not exist until a few weeks ago.

this is “jamming”.

The FACT is Obama is a racist.

The FACT is Mrs. Obama is a racist.

The FACT is racism is good business for community organizers.”

You nailed it!

For a boycott to be effective, doesn’t there either need to be a) a loss in revenue b) loss in ratings or c) cancellation?

None of these three have occured. So I fail to see how the headline is accurate. Wishful thinking. LOL

Best I can see it’s just helping build Glen’s name recognition, turning people to his show to find out the fuss. Then it opens up new ad spots for others to take to advertise their product.

I don’t think these people get it. Effective boycotts start at the bottom driven by the people. A few companies either from partisanship or fear withdrawing support at the demands of Obama’s Czar’s just cannot work because the people don’t want Glen punished and will not stop buying products from those who advertise there. Since the government doesn’t have complete control of private enterprise yet...there will still be people who advertise.

They lose. The sponsers who withdraw ads may even lose.
