I don't have time to write much now.
Later this week, I will elaborate more. Sorry for the
disorganization.
I'm convinced that this "boycott movement" is a Repug maneuver.
(See "Recommended Diary" http://www.dailykos.com/user/ignignokt )
It advocates that we blindly boycott all of the companies that according to websites, donate more to Republicans than democrats.
Checking out the author's URL, he lists the companies he's personally boycotting, and the companies that he's patronizing.
At the top of his "patronize" list is none other than Adobe.
Several months before the dem primaries, Adobe sponsored an extreme right-wing show ala Fox News. It aired on MSNBC.
On the shows that I saw, both the moderator AND all guests were right wing. They sat around mercilessly trashing and belittling the democrat candidates.
One more observation:
Someone in the boycott dairy commented that they would boycott Apple (!) and would not boycott Microsoft.
This is because according to this website, Microsoft gives evenly 50% democrats and 50% republicans.
Whereas Apple donated 78% republican.
In case you've been living on another planet, Microsoft is the most ruthless, despised companies in the industry. Their goal is to become a monopoly, and they have a reputation for playing -real- dirty.
Bill Gates shadows Steve Jobs like a dog.
Steve innovates - and Bill imitates. He steals Apple ideas, and has made a fortune hacking out cheapy versions.
Even the Microsoft OS is a direct rip-off from Apple.
Jobs donated to the Dean campaign during the primaries. His wife did too. Just as Bill Gates is the most disliked, Steve Jobs has a cult following. In fact, he is the Howard Dean of the computer industry.
And HIS is the company our brigade of boycotters wants to hurt !
Gotta get going, but a couple more things:
Look at the NAME of the URL of our diary author: http://chaos.corrupt.net.
This name seems most interesting in the wake of a Kossak complaint on how chaotic and coarsened Kos ambiance has become.
My feeling is that the most recent onslaught is sounding more like Freepers than Kossaks. Or maybe they're just mentally challenged.
