Shouldn't their politicians be more worried about the state's economy.....?
Maybe it's more pandering for the vote..........this time Muslims! It's their store and this must fall under........... Freedom to do what the Hell you want, with your store.
I actually think it's silly to drop the advertising based on one groups displeasure of the show.
and this so called group is nothing but a hotbed of Islamophobia, rather than focus on the good that the religion offers currently and in the past, they fouse on the "radical" aspect of the religion instead, and paint the wide brush against all the followers:
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.
I'll be upset with any company that gives into the demands of a fringe, bigoted organization thus creating a controversy that simply didn't have to happen.
Does that mean you were mad at Geico for pulling their ads from Glen Beck because of MoveOn.org and ThinkProgress??
If the Senator proceeds with legislative action against Lowes, wouldn't that be a violation of the 1st amendment?
