A Donald Trump-hating Twitter user – who is too scared to reveal his true identity because he says he fears backlash from Trump supporters – is attempting to destroy a leading conservative news site with a coordinated campaign attacking its advertisers and claiming it’s “racist.”
The anonymous Twitter user, known as Sleeping Giants, is attempting to take down Breitbart News. It takes screenshots of advertisements on Breitbart and then harasses companies that own the ads, demanding that they blacklist the news site.
And several high-profile U.S. companies are taking the bait.

“The anonymous Twitter user, known as Sleeping Giants,”
Paid for by David Brock? Or one the Podesta’s?
Let the LSM fail 7n the same fashion.
I looked at the list and am happy to announce I don’t do business with any of them that I know of.
I think we’ll be finding out ALL about this COWARD very soon! In the meantime, BOYCOTT!!!!!
>I looked at the list and am happy to announce I don’t do business with any of them that I know of.
Same; although I can add that I’m happy to announce that most of them simply fall into the category of “don’t ... know of.” These are simply ensuring they remain in that category.

Damn, been with USBank(or it’s predecessor) for 40 years. Goodbye.
3M is a dissapointment; their products are great.
I’m very confused. Hannity is reporting live from USBank Arena in Cincinnati.
These same groups went after Rush’s advertisers, and they didn’t kill him, but they did succeed in killing off Liberal Radio as the advertisers started avoiding all political talk shows.
Wonder if the’ll get the same result with the news and commentary sites.
Boycott and protest the boycotters and tell them why. Ask for refunds from these companies. Tell them they are acting stupidly and wrongly, which they are. These companies must be headed by a bunch of Marxist ideologues or by useful idiots or both. Tell Udis that you and your family will be Udi-free.
So you don’t like Breitbart? Are you siding with the anti-Trump “Sleeping Giants”? Those are Breitbart’s advertisers you want to boycott.
Former advertisers.
OK.
Shinola? Well, as the old saying goes, Democrats “don’t know shit from Shinola”.
Send their customer support a polite note asking if they really want to alienate millions of customers and potential customers for the sake of a few melting snowflakes.
Then publish their responses, because no matter how polite they are, they can’t justify their position and anything they say just digs their hole deeper.
And then start going after the people advertising on the other side. It’s war. No such thing as fair.
But Twitter isn’t threatening to shut down that account?
Have a relative who is a top exec at 3M. Screw ‘em.
Don’t do business with most of them, did sent a note to Welch’s explaining why I will no longer buy their products and why I will encourage others to boycott them as well.
