Jet Blue has dropped support for the Yearly Kos due to their fear of Bill O'Reilly and his viewers at FOX. I suppose corporate expressed a fear of some kind of right-wing boycott of their services. Why not show them the veracity of this fear, by instigating a left-wing boycott?
Personally, I had no feelings regarding Jet Blue and their service before they caved. I had heard some negative stories, some positive about their service. Today, however, my feelings have radically changed. Today, they caved in to that bully, Bill O'Reilly.
When I heard the news, I couldn't help thinking, "how dare they listen to that fascist jerk?" And I couldn't stop wondering, "why is there no fallout from their actions?"
Perhaps its because no on does more than bloviate about how awful they are for doing such a thing. All I need is to read another front-page diary stating "tsk tsk" and explaining what "terrible" members of the community they are; all the while apologizing and explaining ourselves to their workers. Another variation of see, see, the diarists on Kos are actually reasonable, good people.
Is that all we're going to do? Are we going to let any corporation that choses to help the left be spooked by these brown-shirts?
The answer should be no. We need to demonstrate to them, to O'Reilly and all of his fascist supporters, that listening to their nonsense will have an immediate, derisive effect. We need to boycott Jet Blue.
