CONSERVATIVES REPUBLICANS INDEPENDENTS

Last week, the Florida Family Association launched a bigoted campaign to force advertisers to pull their ads from TLC's reality TV show "All-American Muslim," a show that follows the lives of Muslim families in Michigan. Their argument? That any depiction of ordinary American Muslims leading ordinary American lives was clearly an attempt "to manipulate Americans into ignoring the threat of jihad."

In response, Lowe's, the home improvement retail outlet, publicly removed their ads from the program. Use the form to the right to send a message to Lowe’s CEO Robert Niblock, calling for him to reinstate the ads.

If you aren't aware of the @Lowes controversy, they pulled their ads from the new TLC Show "All American Muslim" because some Christian AMERICANS felt it was just wrong for Lowes to support a show that portrayed Muslim AMERICANS as (gasp) "regular" people.   Take a look at this police officer and his happy little dimpled children.  Look like regular people to me.  But I'm also a left wing bleeding heart liberal cloned from stem cells in the great communist state of Taxachusetts where we all want permission to marry our neighbor's dog!  :)

Seriously though, Lowes pulled their ads simply to appease a small, white, ugly, conservative agenda.   And this is America, so that's totally their choice.  But consumers have a choice as well.  So if you happen to agree that this type of blatant bigotry is just flat out inexcusably, WRONG, then spread the word and RT.  You can take your business to Home Depot instead.  Fortunately there's usually one RIGHT across the street from the Lowe's! 

Okay, jumping off my high horse and hanging up my chaps :)
