DIY chain Lowe’s pulls advertising from American Muslim TV show.  muzzie cries foul

So it’s bigotry because a major company may have seen and doesn’t approve of the TV message, and pulls its advertising.
Mr. Ellison, good muzzie that he is, thinks it’s bigotry.  Of course.  Anyone questioning that group for any reason whatever is, bigoted. They’re islamophobic, to use the newer age word.

I’d be curious to know if any Lowes stores in the USA are being picketed.
If it were here in the UK, there’d already be riots.

US DIY chain defends boycott of Muslim TV show

US DIY chain Lowe’s has defended its decision to pull advertising from reality show “All-American Muslim” amid charges the company had given in to bigotry.

“All-American Muslim,” which airs on The Learning Channel and ends its first season Jan. 8, follows several Muslim families in and around the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan, which is home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the United States and its largest mosque.

It has been accused by one Florida group to be propaganda. But the decision by Lowe’s sparked an outcry by defenders of the show.

North Carolina-based Lowe’s employed its Facebook page to defend itself and called “All-American Muslim,” a “lighting rod” for “strong political and societal views.”
Lowe’s spokeswoman Karen Cobb said the company was one of “dozens” of companies to pull their advertising since late last month. Names of other companies were not immediately available.

Laurie Goldberg, a TLC spokeswoman, declined to say how many companies have pulled their advertising from the show, which attracts about a million viewers per week.

The Florida Family Association, a little-known group that has campaigned against the show, has branded “All-American Muslim” “propaganda” that is “clearly designed to counter legitimate and present-day concerns about many Muslims who are advancing Islamic fundamentalism and Sharia law.”

But U.S. Representative Keith Ellison, who is Muslim, said in a statement that Lowe’s had “chosen to uphold the beliefs of a fringe hate group” and given in to intolerance.

“Corporate America needs to take a stand against these anti-Muslim fringe groups and stand up for what is right because this is what it means to be an American,” he said.

Mr. Ellison I’d bet, got elected on a left wing and muslim block vote.  I might be wrong of course. But isn’t it typical that because he doesn’t think Lowes has it right, then of course they aren’t acting as Americans.  Interesting to note that a muslim is deciding what an American is or should be. I guess standing up for what is right, means what is right as defined by Mr. Ellison.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
