Liberals were enraged and outraged (aren’t they always) when Lowe’s pulled out of advertising on All-American Muslim. How dare Lowe’s do that, screamed the liberals. It is racist,bigoted, etc. for a sponsor to decide to pull ads from programming based on concerns about content of a show.

But, in the case of Rush Limbaugh, the liberals are delighted that sponsors have pulled advertising from Limbaugh, over concerns about the content of his show.

So, what is the true liberal view of sponsor boycotts? Are sponsor boycotts good when sponsors object to programming? Or are they only okay when sponsors object to conservatism?
