the first ammendment does not mandate your audience or advertising dollars

[threeplusfire]

Ten advertisers have pulled their support from KRXQ over the morning show's vitriolic comments regarding transgender children.

"You guys imply that all you have to do is...whack my non-existent child with a shoe if he goes clopping around the house in high heels," commented a listener who identified herself as a male-to-female transgender who previously had served in the US armed forces for 22 years. "Don't you think that all the abuse that I took in school would have changed that basic nature in me?"

"Thank you for your service, but let me just say this right now," quipped an angered States. "You fought (in the armed forces) for nothing! With the opinions that you have right there, you fought for absolutely nothing!"

What the fuck does that even mean, you fought for nothing? States is a hateful, hateful little person.

The companies who have dropped their advertising:
# Chipotle
# Snapple
# Sonic
# Bank of America
# Verizon
# Carl’s Jr (CKE Restaurants)
# Wells Fargo
# Nissan North America
# AT&T
# McDonald’s

Good! This makes me hate using AT&T a lot less.

It even makes me feel less vitriol about BoA.
