Fresh off the humiliating Great Wal*Mart Headband-Ripping Scandal of a few days ago, DUmbshits buy into another ridiculously implausable story about the Tea Party boycotting Ebony Magazine:

Ebony Magazine Mocks Tea Party In Response To Controversy Over Trayvon Covers
EBONY ✔ @EBONYMag
We have so many Tea Party readers and followers. To lose all zero of them due to our September cover would be devastating.

Ha Ha, Did the Tea Party Boycott Ebony Magazine? (No.)
Early Wednesday afternoon, the Twitter account of Ebony magazine raised an alarm about a distressing new campaign targeting the magazine:
The remark referred to a swirl of unsubstantiated rumors, mostly on Twitter, that a group of Tea Party members had vowed to boycott Ebony for its decision to feature people wearing hoodies on four different editions of its September issue — a response to the July acquittal of George Zimmerman for shooting and killing Trayvon Martin. Which is mildly amusing inasmuch as a mass exodus of Ebony's Tea Party audience is unlikely to substantially affect the magazine's bottom line. Sadly, it was immediately clear that no discernible group of Tea Partiers had actually vowed to join the notional boycott. So where did these rumors come from?
The first mention of any proposed boycott of Ebony (limited to today) appeared in a single comment on Breitbart.com. A few hours later, this was passed off with complete credulity by U.S. News & World Report. But the very first mention of some sort of organized boycott appeared on the Twitter account of a Tom Head, a freelance writer living in Jackson, Mississippi:
Tom Head, Ph.D. @_tomhead
Heh. Tea Party lynching apologists now threaten to boycott @EBONYMag over the Trayvon cover, as if any of them would have subscribed anyway.

When asked, Head refused to explain where he saw these "Tea Party lynching apologists" (note: plural) threatening to boycott Ebony.
So. A few lessons:
1) THERE WAS NO BOYCOTT.
2) Twitter is terrible. (Follow me on Twitter.)

If it makes them feel better, I'll boycott that racist rag. You gotta be pretty stupid when 75% of your intended audience can't read.

I'll be boycotting Ebony.
And along with them: Honky, Browny, Chinky and Reddy.

I suppose everyone needs something to get exited about.
Good for the DUmmies, they made up something else to get excited about.

Racist magazine tells people that are not racist they are racists.
I'm going to start a magazine called "BEIGE" and let's see how far that gets before RACISM is called.

Once more libs prove that the level of "stupid" is a raise in pay grade for them.

Inadvertently, I have boycotted Ebony Magazine since it's inception. Never knew it existed.

About 20 years ago I had a coworker that mentioned a coworker was always reading Ebony magazine when she should be doing her job. He said "what would happen if I was reading a magazine called Ivory." :-)

The left are such idiots that they don't realize that Ebony is using Trayvon to make money. Ebony knows that some or many idiots will by all 4 different covers of the rag and will probably at least double their circulation for the month or week, however often they publish the rag.
