Muslims (particularly CAIR) are a loud, bigotted minority. It's good to see that Lowes is no longer sponsoring one-sided propaganda.

Gotta go, I have to work on a tile job in my bathroom...materials bought at Lowes. See ya.

Lowe’s: Existence Of Muslims A Controversial ‘Topic’ | TPMMuckraker

Quote:
The FFA also referenced concerns by anti-Islam activists Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller. Spencer had called the show a “bait-and-switch†that “addresses nothing of that supremacist ideology†in a column for Human Events. And Geller told World Net Daily: “It is an attempt to manipulate Americans into ignoring the threat of jihad and to bully them into thinking that being concerned about the jihad threat would somehow victimize these nice people in this show. The problem is not people; it’s ideology. The show doesn’t address that.â€

of course, these are the TWO most well known anti-islam activists in the media, and not a surprise that these hatriots would talk to a known Conspiracy propaganda website, that used 9/11 to spread disinformation and lies about Muslims in the past.


Lowe's wants to be associated with known anti-Islamists, that's fine by me. Just don't expect people to be happy that they based their decision on a group that has known ties to anti-Islamic retards.

Does that mean you were mad at Geico for pulling their ads from Glen Beck because of MoveOn.org and ThinkProgress??

Indeed you can. I just feel it's my duty to point out the bad logic and hyprocricy behind your decision is all.

If the Senator proceeds with legislative action against Lowes, wouldn't that be a violation of the 1st amendment?
