Good for them..................

terryu1 · 12-15-2011, 07:14 AM

Actually this whole Christmas season has been a little uplifting. Stories from Texas where schools and towns telling the ACLU to "take a hike" regarding Christ in Christmas. Lowe's and others standing up to the "one-sided" favoritism that they seem to give to Muslims. It might just be me but I think we are hearing more of these stories this year than in past.

carver · 12-15-2011, 07:22 AM

Just maybe the other advertizers on that show will see what is really going on here. It's not a reality show so much as it is propaganda. An attempt to depict our enemy in a good light. A lie!

ampaterry · 12-15-2011, 08:44 AM

The show is failing, miserably.
Soon, they will HAVE to cancel it simply due to less than a million people watching the damnable thing.
And when they do, the Jihadi's will all be screaming about violating their rights - -

i hope it does fail absolutely miserably & does not even make it a whole season.

ampaterry · 12-15-2011, 09:22 AM

YES!!

gdmoody · 12-15-2011, 10:27 AM

I have a silly question. What is the name of the show that they pulled the ads from? I don't watch a lot of TV and an just curious.

All America Muslim

Thank you.

Double Deuce · 12-15-2011, 11:11 AM

Gald to see someone making a stand.

jlloyd73 · 12-15-2011, 11:20 AM

woooohoooo

DixieLandMan · 12-15-2011, 01:32 PM

Since I do not watch All American Muslim, what did Lowe's do? Refuse to advertise during the commercials?

Alpo · 12-15-2011, 01:39 PM

As I understand it, Lowes was a sponsor. They got lots of emails and letters saying "quit sponsoring that crap", so they withdrew their advertising.

People going on about "free speech" and "they are going to be sued" and "they broke the law". That's nonsense. Simple business decision. You buy advertising on a show because you think it will get you customers. If you lose customers as a result of the advertising, you cancel it.

I don't see any politics or religion involved, myself. Just business.

DixieLandMan · 12-15-2011, 03:24 PM

Ok. That makes sense. Hell, it was their free speech not to advertise. Makes me want to shop at Lowe's even more now.

armoredman · 12-15-2011, 10:57 PM

You'd think it's free speech, but one Cali Demonrat is frothing at the mouth to pass legislation to force them to re-sponsor the show. Nuts.
I have never watched it, never will, no interest.

Yes, not much room to misunderstand his feelings LOL.

ampaterry · 12-16-2011, 07:15 AM

I watched a couple of episodes, simply due to my interest in the spread of Islam in the world in general and in the USA in particular.
Absolute WHITEWASH of this horrid belief system, completely ignoring the subjugation of women and all other negative aspects. Some of the people portrayed as "Muslim" were living completely outside of their actual beliefs, making them about as representative of Muslims as Obozo is a representative of Christians.

DixieLandMan · 12-16-2011, 02:06 PM

I cannot even bear to try and bring myself to watch any eposiode ever! No interest in watching it at all.

JohnHenry · 12-18-2011, 03:03 PM

..... and, from the "other side" we see a protest of the Lowe's store near Dearborn ( the filming location for the show ) which seems to have drawn a "huge" crowd .
I think I'll stop at my local Lowe's and spend a couple of bucks on things I don't really need .... just to show some support ;

raven818 · 12-18-2011, 03:35 PM

Lowes' apology was in the paper this morning. They told the press that they had been receiving a lot of pressure from a religious group. They said they hope they didn't offend anybody.

It did not say if they were going to attempt to sponsor again or not. My guess is the show would not accept them back.

armedandsafe · 12-18-2011, 07:31 PM

It appears that Yahoo has pulled the story, as they now say it doesn't exist. The Blaze still has it up.
