This report shows a different story:
FAA Statistics Report of Passengers Denied Confirmed Space
These numbers are from the first quarter of the year, and are not vastly different from last year's.
Total number of passengers denied boarding from the 1st qtr:
Delta 656
American Airlines 2,191
Continental 1,298
Southwest 2,167
United 1,193
Here we are leading the industry and IMHO it wouldn't hurt to let the flying public know you stand a much better chance of getting bumped if you aren't flying Delta.
