Out of curiosity, can anyone point me at some well-argued articles offering a refutation of Mackey's original editorial?
Alternatively, bonus points if you can find me someone supporting boycotting Whole Foods who ridiculed the boycotting of the Dixie Chicks. Or vice versa.
- pyre 17y agoThe boycotting of the Dixie Chicks was more ridiculous, in my opinion... By a couple of orders of magnitude.
- hughprime 17y agoUh huh. How so, exactly?
- pyre 17y agoBecause there was a larger portion of the population that agreed with it. Not to mention that in this case, we're talking about the CEO of a company that has built itself on an image. Not only that, the company targets a certain demographic, and the majority of that demographic (at least on the surface) believes in government healthcare. For the CEO to come out and say something like this, it's almost an expected response. The Dixie Chicks on the other hand have a wider audience, and prior to them actually saying it, I wouldn't have necessarily expected such a response from the general public or their fans. Not only that it was all over in the media with lots of 'media personalities' jumping on the 'trash the Dixie Chicks for ratings' bandwagon.
