Boycott NBC and Trump

Donald Trump's racist birther accusations have been debunked, the White House has released the president's "long form" birth certificate.

As the president said, "We do not have time for this kind of silliness." Thank you, Mr. President, for being, once again, the adult in this national conversation.


As Think Progress reports, "acclaimed historian and author Douglas Brinkley pinned the blame for the reemergence of birtherism on NBC Entertainment for giving real estate mogul Donald Trump a primetime platform."


Brinkley also calls for what seems to be an appropriate response, to boycott NBC and the sponsors of Celebrity Apprentice until The Donald is fired. Giving a "primetime platform" (and paying him at the same time) to Trump is unacceptable.
