With changing demographics and more Latinos turning 18 and being eligible to vote, these religious buffoons will soon see themselves slide further down the irrelevancy slide.

Do you not understand that when they chose to advertise on that show,they were exercising their right to do just that. but some religious fanatics decided to take that right away from them and you support this?

I wouldn't take on Lowe's though. They were clearly grown up enough to be a willing sponsor. They simply succumbed to the pressure from a mob, for business reasons. If there is something we must tackle, it is the gorilla in the room... the evangelicals and right wing fundamentalists out to control the society.

You fail.

Lowes knew very well that their advertisements would show during that show (as do EVERY company that makes and buy ad time), and had no problems with it (along with other companies WHO continue to show their ads during that show)

It was only from the pressure of a small ignorant hate group, that they pulled their ads.

They chose to follow the whims of a hate group, based on their ignorance on the Muslim religion and culture because the show did not show the families as essentially being terrorists.

They CHOSE to pull the ads. No rights were violated.
Do you consider what the Left was doing to Beck's advertisers a violation of their rights also?

I see that you think it is ok for the left wing mobs to try, and actually do, control businesses and people. Nothing like a good dose of hypocrisy to wake up to.

hmmmmmmm I don't recall Christians bombing countries and flying planes into buildings. And you have the nerve to call some Christians a hate group?!
