I'd hate to see any advertiser pull ads because of political pressure.

Ours or theirs.

“I’d hate to see any advertiser pull ads because of political pressure.

Seriously? Why? That’s the way the game is played. The advertisers fund the show. Without funding, the show gets yanked. Protesting a TV show isn’t going to to stop the show from airing, as long as it continues to make money via attracting ads. If you get the funding pulled, you get the rug pulled out from under the show. I really don’t understand your logic. Would you buy products from a company that advertises on “White Supremacy Today!”?

The above is an intelligent and noteworthy statement. But, the mob smells blood and craves for someone to lynch.
Compare the posts made when they all thought Olive Garden had pulled with posts after Olive Garden denied this.

"Olive Garden is GREAT!", "I'm takin' the family, even the mother-in-law, to eat at Olive Garden tonight!", "This Saturday is our wedding anniversary. Nothing would say 'I love you' more than a night out at Olive Garden", "You want REAL Eye-tal-yun food? Try Olive Garden!"

- then O.G. denies pullings ads

"Olive Garden sucks!", "I wouldn't let my dog eat at Olive Garden!", "Only liberal commie pinkos eat at Olive Garden", "FIRE Olive Garden!"
