Organic Teabagging

Since Mackey wrote his op-ed, I've been to Whole Foods about four times. Before that, I hadn't been in several months.

Others have taken notice, albeit for a different reason...

The Nationwide Tea Party Coalition kicked off a series of "buycotts" in Dallas and St. Louis on Tuesday, asking consumers to support Mackey by doing their entire week's grocery shopping at Whole Foods that evening. Meanwhile, conservatives and libertarians of various stripes are blogospherically smacking their lips so loudly you'd think they just had a helping of Chilean sea bass en papillote from the Whole Foods deli counter.

"If the brainwashed, hemp-smoking zombies of the left stop shopping there, we conservatives can fill that market hole," wrote an anonymous poster on the blog Conservatives for Change.

Conservatives for Change? Huh? Sounds like a bunch of oxymorons to me.
