I can understand the Glenn Beck move because that show is deliberately controversial. I would similarly understand if Lowes or another company boycotted Keith Olberman or Bill Maher for the same reasons. However, this show is not remotely controversial. It's a show on TLC which interviews Muslim Americans in Dearborn, Michigan. It's a documentary show not an in-your face protest down with Christianity type of show. The people protesting it are right wing Evangelical zealots from some small organization in Florida because it involves Muslims. That's like me protesting a show because it interviews Christians implying that interviewing anyone of a certain religion is bad so comparing it to what happened to Glen Beck is a poor analogy.
When was the last time you saw Beck? More than 3 or 4 months ago, I am sure. In fact 6 would be closer. Yesterday he said not one political word the full two hours and today he spent most of the time telling about why Gingrich has to be tossed aside by the Republicans. Yep, I guess your informers MM, Think Prog and HuffPo don't watch him anymore because he can control who sees his show and probably wouldn't let them subscribe. He is a sneaky bugger in ways such as that.
The facts are that the title of this thread is a flat out lie, Lowes is not boycotting anything, they chose not to advertise during a reality show, that is their right. I don't shop at Von's, I'm not boycotting Von's I just don't shop there.
Well these people who did boycott Beck and did talk some businesses into dropping their sponsorships really don't know the meaning of that word, boycott.
Sounds more Newt than Paul. No wonder Ron Paul has ZERO chance of getting the nomination.
I have been talking about Beck here and he is more against Newt than he is against Obama. You should be watching him and his people from The Blaze to learn why I am slowly coming around to his side. Today he made a heavy case against Newt and I think he will get to him soon enough.
I sent them an email today saying I was no longer going to do business with them.
I own 8 rental properties and was constantly in their store on a weekly basis buying building materials, riding lawnmowers, washers, dryers, air conditioners, ceiling fans, blinds etc.
No more.
Lowe's is either run by bigots, or they are afraid to stand up to bigots. Either way they are not getting anymore of my cash.
Just sent Lowes an email in support of their decision. I'll be shopping there for Christmas instead of Home Depot as well.
I dislike fascist un-American politicians trying to score cheap politically-correct points by posturing and trying legislate how people should think and feel, ... more than I dislike companies pulling their ads for whatever reason they see fit.

Ace is the place for the helpful hardware man.
ORRRRR they are a home improvement store that doesn't want to get into the middle of something so heated and controversial. I wouldn't want to either. When ACE doesn't sponsor the show (oh wait, they don't) you can boycott them too. At least Lowe's tried something that most companies wouldn't. Plus it's a lousy show and not worth the money.

Oh it's "un-American" to withdraw your business from a company who you think is being unfair?.
LOL...That's hilarious...You poor baby....The customers are being mean to the corporation for choosing where to spend their money.....LOL
Right wingers think corporations are individuals and should have the same rights as individuals. ( Not that anybody has trampled on Lowe's rights here...like right wing cry babies claim)
When are you GOP voters going to wake up?
