They've earned quite a reputation for boycotting folks they don't like. They may try to boycott you off the air. You better watch yourself with those AFA guys.

AFAIN said it, I believe it, that settles it. (I'm not sure why, but this whole episode amuses me somehow. Maybe because I suspect that libertarians and social conservatives are very uneasy being together under the Republican tent. Generally speaking anyway -- I have no idea whether or how you vote.)
