Turns out JetBlue got about 1,200 emails from the mouthbreathers. That's it. 1,200. It takes that little pressure to force an airline to cower under its own seats in fear.

Now they'll tell those on our side who email them that they have, in fact, not pulled their sponsorship. In part, that's true. O'Reilly and his minions weren't able to kill the sponsorship. They were just able to turn the airlines in knots and twist it so fully that it is now talking out of both sides of its mouth. To the wingnuts, it claims it has nothing to do with YearlyKos, and to progressives who email them, they claim they are still sponsors.

The reality: yes, they are sponsors, but they demanded YearlyKos take the JetBlue logo off the convention's website. They can't withdraw their ticket contribution at this point, so they hope no one notices they are associated with us DFHs (dirty f'ing hippies).

Someday, this will be a case study in MBA and marketing programs in how NOT to respond to spurious political pressure.

In any case, for good measure, here is that contact info again:
