I always have some concern over economic targeting of media, because I don't like it when the other side does it. But Beck ... well, he deserves to be heard, like any American does, but he has no Constitutional right to a show.
GEICO has already been targeted by a countercampaign, wherein conservatives cancel their insurance.
So should we patronize these companies? I think so, where possible and within reason -- I for one still won't shop at Wal-Mart.
The last major consumer boycott I remember was Coors Beer, and that worked. They agreed to allow a union. After the boycott, I saw my brother drinking a Coors and made a face. He said, in effect, you have to buy the product after a boycott ends, or else they think boycotts don't work.
I am not convinced boycotts do work. But I think the publicity behind a boycott can do wonders.
