QuoteHere come the free market sponsor boycotts.

As of Saturday, at least two advertisers have pulled the plug on conservative commentator Ben Shapiro's eponymous podcast over the host's controversial speech at the annual anti-abortion March for Life rally in Washington, D.C. on Friday.

"[T]he truth is that no pro-life person on earth would kill baby Hitler," Shapiro said before adding, "Baby Hitler was a baby."

On Twitter, relaxation and meditation app Calm responded to customer outrage about Shapiro's "baby Hitler" speech in a late Friday night tweet announcing, "We do not align with this message. We're pulling our sponsorship."

"The argument, I guess here, is that would you kill baby Hitler?" the Harvard Law-educated founder of The Daily Wire said. "And the truth is that no pro-life person on earth would kill baby Hitler, because baby Hitler wasn't Hitler, adult Hitler was Hitler. Baby Hitler was a baby. What you presumably want to do with baby Hitler is take baby Hitler out of baby Hitler's house and move baby Hitler into a better house where he would not grow up to be Hitler, right? That's the idea."

The Washington Times notes that Shapiro made similar comments during a 2015 taping of his podcast–absent this go-round's widespread outrage and answered calls to boycott.

Dear companies:
When you simply say "we do not align with this message", you tell us a whole lot more.

It is hard to take this stuff serious.  Anyone know how Ben would know the baby would grow up to be a baddie.  Hyperbolic speech requires a hyperbolic reply. When did Americans use stupid talk because it suits their agenda but helps no one.  Abortion is an issue that will never be solved because people make mistakes. But do you ever hear about support for living children from the likes of Ben?  Or say better education and preventive help?  No, of course not because it is a tool simply to divide and to keep followers in line.

That's a difference between us normal people and you moonbats.  Repopulating is not "a mistake". It's nature.  I know it's hard to believe, but boys are sexually attracted to girls, and girls want to be attractive to the boys, so sometimes they have sex. It's not a "mistake". It's called "nature".

Media commentators, such as Shapiro and Coulter; eternally needy of attention,
predictably fail to engage their brain before putting their mouth in gear.
A wise Man would not put himself in the position of defending Hitler in the name of condemning abortion.
A core precept of conservatism is that the Family Unit of Father, Mother and Children
is the foundation of culture, the social order and the form of governance.
As such, any activity such as abortion, that harms the Family Unit is anathema and
is to be condemned.
The Ancient Greeks, particularly Plato, asserted this some 400 years BC and the 
Roman Catholic Church.
Suggest Shapiro try Plato next time!!!

This is one of those instances where they will be back.

When a corp makes it very public that they're dumping one of their spokes people, it was planned long before anything was ever said.
This is a part of marketing, and the consumer can just as easily make their voice heard by speaking out with your wallet and a phone call.
If they had actually respected him in the first place,, they'd have quietly walked away, but they didn't, the corp saw advantage in abusing someone that brought them customers.
You know, kind of like when a friend uses you and stabs you in the back? They only used you for their own benefit.

Fact is, this so called sponsor was using him to steal your money.

How do we know if they are wolves in sheep's clothing?
