The activists are going after opponents in all walks of life.

Conservatives should retaliate accordingly while support our own.

I wonder how the other DC comics creators will be reacting to the issue at the creative conference tomorrow?

Miss Fury isn't gay. Next?

I’ve noticed more and more lately that the left has been picking out its targets one by one and going all out on boycotts and pressure.

They utilize all of its social media and celebrities and pressure to pick off companies and individuals one at a time.

It seems to be very effective and the right should do the same rather than its usual tactic of whining and listing impossible long lists of companies to boycott.

Focus on one mid size company. Marshall all your forces, all the conservatives on social media, all the conservative talking heads, and cripple one...just one...left leaning business. Protest in front, refuse to use, put a hurt on them till they stop funding planned parenthood or supporting the homosexual agenda.

Going all out on impossible long lists of giants like Intel McDonalds Ford etc etc etc all at once wins nothing.

Same people that screeched about McCarthyism and the hollyweird blacklist in the 50s are doing this.

This is an honest and maybe stupid question. How close do organized boycotts come to being a form of racketeering?

By hiring Orson Scott Card despite his anti-gay efforts you are giving him a new platform and supporting his hate.

I have no interest in OSC's writing but I've never had much appreciation for these tactics.

I do not remember a single liberal boycott that has worked (I can point to several Conservative ones that have).

For the record, an attempt at a boycott is exercise of free speech. You can counter it using the same techniques (think Chik-Fil-et) but it certainly isn’t any form of actionable “suppression”

The problem is when you LEGALLY can’t express “unallowable” (un-PC) thoughts (which has been the trend for the last 30+ years) — the terms “inciting” and “harassing” are thrown about and used in legal prosecution.

“The activists are going after opponents in all walks of life. “

Because they are tolerant, and when they encounter intolerant people, they shun them, punish them, and try to get them unemployed.

Read “Empire”. He wrote it after his awakening to the truth of liberalism.
