I'm consistently amazed that anyone really cares and think it's funny that you are reading so much into it. My whole point was that you guys shouldn't care if a group of people decide not to buy cookies. Whether those reasons are legitimate in your eyes or not, it doesn't really matter.
It's not really a matter of the cookies, to me. The reason it's worth discussing is that it's probably the most innocuous, non-threatening group these right wingers could go after, based on the least factual motivation I've ever seen them mobilize over.
The reason it's worthy of being cared about is that it's emblematic of a certain type of rabid conservative's rush to engage outrage mode regardless of the facts involved. Whether they were boycotting cookies or fighter jets isn't really the issue at hand.
