There have been a lot of dumb liberal protests over the years. We've had liberals, ugly liberals, walking through the streets nude, forming "impeach" in giant letters on the beach, running around with giant puppet heads -- but, this has got to be the dumbest protest yet:
National Boycott To Impeach for Peace and JusticeA national coaltion of citizens, including war veterans, distinguished academics, students, journalists, artists, and elected officials have joined with us to call for a nationwide boycott of all consumer activity, for one week in April.
... This boycott is a way of unifying the opposition to the Bush Administration; and according to Dr. Peter Phillips, who was the first to propose the idea in December, "could well be the straw that broke the camel's back".
...Consumers are asked to withhold their spending for seven days, beginning on Sunday April 15 and lasting until Sunday April 22, 2007. Do NOT shop corporate outlets Minimize use of oil and gas. Carpool: bus, bike or walk. If you buy, BUY LOCALLY. Plan Ahead and Stock Up
They're going to "stock up" the week before, try to live like the Unabomber for a week, and then go back to their normal buying patterns? So, apparently, they think this is going to happen:
Corporate sales go up a little bit for a week as people stock up. Corporate sales go down a little bit for a week as people boycott. Corporate sales go back to normal as the boycott ends after a week. Corporate CEOS go insane over the mild fluctuations in sales and demand Bush be impeached immediately!
