5. How successful have boycotts been over the years?
I think it is more of a feel-good thing.
"Boycotts don't work" is not necessarily true. They do NOT work when initiated by the left. So far, Conservatives or at least NOT liberal boycotts:
* Got whoopie goldberg removed as spokething for Nutrisystem or Weight Watchers (cannot remember which)
* dixie chicks were chased out of the country scene
* nfl/nba keep dropping like rocks
* purple haired rapinho is all but out for subway - definetly out as spokesthing
* "buycott" of Chik-fi-let has been very successful
* cfnn ratings hover in the basement
But it takes a LOT to get Conservatives moving to do boycotts.
It is also really hard to move large mountains like Coca Cola (which owns many beverages people do not even know about) and others.
