boycotts

I watch a local newscast covering the protests taking place over the passage of Proposition 8 in California.  In a supposed effort to be evenhanded the station posted on their websites both the companies who provided support to Prop 8 and the companies that provided money to oppose Prop 8. 

This is obviously a joke as there are no organized (or even disorganized as far as I know) protests against companies that gave money to oppose Prop 8 so listing those companies is worthless.

One other point that springs to mind is that in every instance I have heard of where someone connected to a company gave money to support the passage of Prop 8 it was done by the individual rather than the company itself, whereas I know of several companies that gave money directly from their company coffers to oppose the passage of Prop 8.

And I am guessing that all the gays who disparaged the Baptist attempt to boycott Disney because of their support of gays will refuse to admit to any simularities to their boycotts of companies that supported the traditional definition of marriage.
