In that later case you may have come out against many of your customers who have the right to boycott. That's freedom and capitalism all wrapped up in one. If he wants to switch out his customer base, that's his right.

I question the left's commitment to this boycott. The Sinistral, a DailyKos diarist notes that many liberals end up shopping at Wal-Mart as well. These kinds of things usually blow over for companies. Also, isn't it a little McCarthyite to boycott someone for political beliefs? Simon, you’ve been linked.

Really? You've got to be kidding! I suppose it's no coincidence that your initials happen to be the same as those of John Mackey? Didn't you get in trouble before for anonymously posting to help your own company John? I suppose like a drug addict, habits are hard to change. Jack Mackenna? Really? You’ve got to be kidding!

Also WF has basically destroyed its brand which took 20 years to build.

Also, John Mackey donates $1 million to charities every year and recently cut his salary down to $1. He is the proof that capitalism can have a heart. Ignorant people want to tear that down. You should perhaps note that Whole Foods has also gained customers it previously did not have who agree with John Mackey. using free market tactics to oppose the free market is brilliant, i have to say.
