Of course, now that the Left is doing so, it's their right, it's a form of free speech...it is political speech. IMHO, those on the social left get plenty of "free speech,"--especially from the media. It's those of us who are social traditionalists that seem to pay dearly for our voice to be heard.

Hypocrisy by who? I honestly don't give a crap what Christians boycotted in the 80's and I would be willing to bet I'm not the only one. You can't just lump people in with "the left" and then hold them accountable for every action by someone who you perceive is a part of "the left."
