"By your logic, no company can ever be held accountable for any donation it gives, no matter how objectionable it might be."

My problem is with who does the "holding to account" and whose idea of "objectionable" are we talking about? Those phrases sound startlingly like something you might read in college handbook on "speech codes".

I have no love for the homosexual agenda but I have no love for hypocrites either. Someone hating gay people that much makes no sense to me. Quitting Wal-Mart because they gave a few bucks to some gay group? Yeah, that'll teach 'em!! How will they ever recover from the loss??

People praise her "principles". BS. Grandstanding and bragging is what I see. Let her boycott them for what they did if she feels that is the right thing to do. However, not to do the same to every other organizations who does the same makes her a hypocrite. Grandstanding and trumpeting her hypocritical actions while invoking God as endorsing her childish and hypocritcal behavior is embarrassing to me, to be quite honest.

While you have a point here re: consistency, (a) you don't know her spending track record, therefore your claim of omniscience at least in her case is a bit suspect; and (b) People tend to "localize" these things.

You could have a 100 radio stations airing Howard Stern clones, and people don't give a whip about any of them. But just put one of those Stern clones on a local station and look out! People will object (oops, sorry for "speech coding" that phrase...I guess standards are so foreign to you that any standard only brings to mind what the campus pc folks have been up to).

Oh, and BTW, while we're on the subject of both speech codes and consistency, I suppose since you're so big into consistency and you "object" to campus speech codes (oops, my, my, how I can't stop saying that word, "object") I suppose you've written not only the FCC about its airwave speech codes, but you've also written every campus that has a speech code, right?

(And if you haven't, I guess you'll have to apply your own standard to yourself: "I have no love for [campus speech codes] but I have no love for hypocrites either. Someone hating [campus administrators] that much makes no sense to me...")
