Ack Razer, and hypocrisy is one thing Breitbart is calling out here.

Classic Lefty tactics.

You say that as though it's the same situation - did you get too many
extra doses of fluoride as a tot? - Those last 4 words make all the
difference. That's the point Shawne, Kelloggs decided to get political
by making a big public statement of "pulling ads from Breitbart" whilst
providing precisely ZERO facts in support of their position.

And of course you say that's not a political action, and is the same as
these other supposed companys who did not make such public statements.

I get it, 1 + 2 = 7

And your position is that Breitbart (spectacularly :) launched their
counter-boycott against Kellogs, was all about Kellogs selling into
China...

Yep, 3 - 1 = 11, got it Mista Quin.


Really Shawn, unless you have a desired outcome, an actual intention
(one grounded in those pesky little things called facts) when speaking
/ typing, then such inanity is likely to continue to issue forth from
your keyboard.

You say this almost as though you're chatting with me - but these words
you're "responding" to are written by Breitbart - this is what's called
a quotation, around which I put quotation marks (namely the '"'
character), to distinguish that quotation as being distinct from my own
commentary.

Again completely ignoring, or sadly just plain missing with a massive
whooosh, the point being made here (again, by Breitbart.com news).

Speaking across the issue, draining the conversation into only
marginally related inanity? Classic obfuscatory propaganda.
