I don't think [the remarks] were inappropriate at all. And I don't think the speakers were intentionally taking shots at the president. They were speaking to Coretta Scott King's life work. If that made George Bush uncomfortable, that's George Bush's problem. |
I don't think it has anything to do with the subject matter. |
I don't think there is any evidence to say that boycotts are particularly effective. All these groups do is alter reality and make people think they're effective. |
