Here We Go Again - Lowe's Controversy

[Inthewind1976]

Well, apparently a major US corporation isnt ALLOWED to pull advertising during a "Muslim Reality Show" even if their customers are opposed to it, or a SENATOR is going to ASK THE PUBLIC to BOYCOT LOWES................. W T F ?

[Nighthawk]

Their reality show shows how uncompromising and rigid their beliefs are.
In every instance were their was a conflict, everyone else had to conform
to their beliefs. They never compromise or integrate with others.
Their way or the highway! Either become muslum or die or be a slave.

I noticed no one can comment on article, Yahoo says having difficulty.

They made my mind up. Just bought new $500 dishwasher from Lowe's. If the muslims hate them I love them

[jlloyd73]

I always shop Lowes................good for them.

This Sen. Ted Lieu is a jackbutt and needed to keep his nose out of it. He "told The Associated Press he would also consider legislative action if Lowe's doesn't apologize to Muslims and reinstate its ads." So now the ADS that LOWES pays for with its money has to be shown when Sen. Lieu and the government says.................doesn't that show you just how much these politicians care about our freedom? He also states, "The apology doesn't go far enough, Lieu said. The senator vowed to look into whether Lowe's violated any California laws and said he would also consider drafting a senate resolution condemning the company's actions."

I am sick of these politicians that think they know everything and that they are right about whatever dumbbutt thought enters their puny brains.......and thats across the board.

'Calling the Lowe's decision "un-American" and "naked religious bigotry," Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, told The Associated Press he would also consider legislative action if Lowe's doesn't apologize to Muslims and reinstate its ads. The senator sent a letter outlining his complaints to Lowe's Chief Executive Officer Robert A. Niblock'.

Legislative action? Seriously?
Apparently, this dimwit doesn't realize he's got better things to spend OUR time on.

Note to Lowe's if yer reading.

If you keep advertising on this show, I WILL boycott you.
You can't take that to the bank.

[Juker]

This doesn't mean he'll be able to get any national traction. He's a California state senator (Democrat).

How the government can force a company to advertise on a distasteful TV program is beyond lunacy. Shame on you, Lieu. Aren't there hungry people in California? Aren't there real issues where your taxpayer-funded time should be spent? Putz.

I love Lowe's and their work for veterans. I will be there today to purchase something, and will continue to give them all of my business.

If Muslims boycott Lowe's, I'll be there twice a day.

Another instance of a politician having zero understanding of the Constitution and the powers/role of our government.

[jlloyd73]

I am boycotting CALIFORNIA.............and voting for DUMBOCRATS.

[jack404]

this is what happens folks , you MUST BE A GOOD DHIMMI OR YOUR GONNA BE SORRY!!!

anyone pushing this MUST LOVE MUSLIM garbage needs to be removed from the planet , not just office

look what its done to the UK France and Australia, those who fight back are targets and the cops are prevented from helping as thats RACIST

when is locking up violent Criminals RACIST?

or will it take a few thousand muslims running through the streets with police escorts , stopping occasionally to bash people , kill others , raping a few women along the way like what happened in Australia before you realise these people have no place in the west ( your society) ?

[The Duke]

Never watched the show as I assumed it would be nothing more than a S===T Load of propaganda anyway...

I applaud Lowes and they will continue having my business...Had I watched or known they were sponsors, Id been over to HD to buy my Christmas present.

[Juker]

Hey - I just realized there are no Muslim outfits advertising on TFF!

Seriously - WTF??!!??

I will contact Senator Lieu immediately, and force him to force them to send TFF some ad money.

Banner ads are $60,000,000 this week, right?

even if there was a 60 mill tag along with it all , i'd be gone so fast the door would not have a chance to hit me on the way out ..

what would be next ? banning folks from saying Merry Christmas cause it upset the sponsor? and where would it end ? group hunts for kaffirs?
( hunting non muslims) with a prize for the most killed?

thin edge of the wedge folks , narr i'd be gone ..

[Bobitis]

Send 'em an e-mail.

Jack, you DO realize, of course, that I would never expect our beloved TFF to have Muslim sponsors? And that you'd be behind me on the way out the door if they did? LOL

I think we should try and get Lowes as a sponsor, all in favor say AYE.

but why not? politicians use our money to support things that disgust us, why can't it work both ways?

at 60 mil a week we could have every member of TFF armed to the teeth with massive ammo, food, and weapon stockpiles instantly!

what greater poetic justice is there than shooting ragheads with bullets that they paid for

So does Discovery Communications Inc (the All American Muslim network) send out self-addressed envelopes with pre-paid first class postage?

Would it be legal to tape that envelope onto something nice & heavy (maybe a box full of rocks), and drop it off at the local post office?

I'd like to see them try to take "legislative action." What laws did Lowe's break by removing the ads? I can't think of any.

[jack404]

we need to sue this senator for blackmail , using his position to extort revinue for a show that the former advertiser does not think represents their customer base , now hes threatening government action if they dont pay up some more ??

thats blackmail and abuse of power

he needs 7-10 years in a lockup with plenty of violent criminals

where's that lone gunman dude ..

No be fair, we have to give them that 10% discount like eveyone else.

[zkovach]

Wow another democrat attacking business, I'm sure he has a lazer light focus on jobs though!

[Juker]

Two points to ponder.

1. In the end, it's the money you spend at any particular business that creates profit and eventually is used by that business for advertising. Home Depot has decided to use that money to sponsor a float in a non-breeder parade, and support their cause. Lowe's decided NOT to use that money to sponsor a television program supporting and promoting Muslim ideology. Where do you want the money you spend, spent?

2. I own several small businesses. I advertise in venues where my target audience will be interested. By advertising anywhere, I am a magnet for anyone selling advertising. (Companies have people who research advertisers - who's buying ad space, but not from us?) I receive calls and emails constantly from local advertisers, ranging from magazines to TV stations to high school bands. I don't do much local business, so I don't spend my advertising dollars on local advertising methods. If Senator Lieu is correct (which he isn't), then anyone and any organization can claim I am discriminating against them by not giving them my money, as if they are somehow entitled to it.

Complete lunacy.

[terryu1]

Juker, haven't you heard. Everyone IS Entitled to anything. If we do not have enough then we will borrow it, make it or print it. Much for the same reasons we cannot keep score in youth sports. We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings now. Think of it as a "participation trophy".
