Backlash for Lowe's as ads pulled from Muslim show
APBy CHRISTOPHER WEBER | AP – 22 hrs ago

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lowe's Home Improvement has found itself facing a backlash after the retail giant pulled ads from a reality show about American Muslims.

The retail giant stopped advertising on TLC's "All-American Muslim" after a conservative group known as the Florida Family Association complained, saying the program was "propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agenda's clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values."

The show premiered last month and chronicles the lives of five families from Dearborn, Mich., a Detroit suburb with a large Muslim and Arab-American population.

A state senator from Southern California said Sunday he was considering calling for a boycott.

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.

"The show is about what it's like to be a Muslim in America, and it touches on the discrimination they sometimes face. And that kind of discrimination is exactly what's happening here with Lowe's," Lieu said...............................>>>>..................................>>>>...........................http://news.yahoo.com/backlash-lowes-ads-pulled-muslim-show-091701562.html

Oh, now we need legislative action to force advertisers to advertise for unpopular shows because they are politically correct? What little Nazi communists these democraps are!

The same thing happened with "Married with Children" back in the late 80's... some tight-assed Mom in Michigan petitioned advertisers to boycott the show. Some did, but it was the best thing that ever happened to the show. The public started watching it due to the press and the ratings went up. Members of the production team sent this woman a Christmas basket every year after during the shows run.

political 'leaders' just look really STUPID when they even respond to sh!t like this......Lowes will figure it out......and a 'reality show' STILL constitutes the 'court jester' mentality......WHO GIVES A RATS A$$ WHAT HOLLYWOOD
DOES....????


SHAME SHAME SHAME ON THE LEADERS

OWS should be OHW

their leaders are lead by the court jesters that make MILLIONS over them and always will
