"Right-Wing Rallies Around Lowe’s For Not Giving In To ‘Radical Islamists’" [View all]

[MarkCharles]

"The anti-Islam group ACT! For America put out a petition for people to pledge their support for Lowe’s, Right Wing Watch reports. “We believe that American businesses should be free to make advertising decisions without fear of repercussion from radical Islamist groups,” the pledge says.

“And the bigots and haters over at Hamas-linked CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror funding case that has seen several of its officials convicted for terror-related crimes, are crying ‘bigotry,’” wrote Robert Spencer of JihadWatch. “Apparently Lowe’s, since it initially advertised on the misleading All-American Muslim show, must advertise on it forever or be cast out of politically correct Paradise. In a sane world, this would be called a shakedown.”

Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs wondered why rap mogul “Russell Simmons is shilling for supremacism. Who’d a thunk it?” She also encouraged readers to “PLEASE SHOP LOWES. And send a word of thanks to Lowe’s Corporate for their decision to drop the show’s sponsorship.”

And Cathy Carlson of the California Republican Assembly told the conservative news site OneNewsNow: “Lowe’s is a business — and yes, it’s the right business decision.”
