Lowes drops O'Reilly Factor Ads...

[walldude]

Apparently they received some letters after O'Reilly's attack on kidnapped kid Shaun Hornbeck. While O'Reilly has denied he said, what he is on tape saying, it didn't help with this advertiser.

1. Good for Lowes. NM

[TornadoTN]

2. Glad to see Lowes did the right thing on this one

While I prefer to support my local mom and pop operations, sometimes I have to swallow that pill and head to the big box stores. This will make those infrequent trips to Lowes a bit more palatable.

3. Objectively pro-kidnapping is no longer in vogue

Poor Bill. I really feel sorry for him. No, really, I do. Quit laughing, I'm series.

4. LOL!

Good for all the people who wrote to complain.

[mconvente]

5. Hey, a big pat on the back to DU!

I'm sure we helped in this process, at least somewhat. I bet TONS of our members wrote to complain to o'LIElly, or at least Olbermann, who then would have mentioned it on his show. Good work and good for Lowes!

6. Wonderful. Eat it, falafel boy. nt

7. I'm going to write Lowes and tell them thanks.

I will also tell them about my next major purchase at Lowes.

8. We're remodeling our upstairs bathroom...

I think I'll have to throw some business Lowe's way.

[AllegroRondo]

19. Write them a letter telling them why!

im sure they will be glad to see they made a good decision.

[youthere]

20. Okey Dokey Artichokey!

[waiting for hope]

9. One can only hope that

more and more advertisers see the light and drop from the programs that promote hate, intolerance and WH lies....one can only hope but I'm not holding my breath.

[Warpy]

11. There is finally a Lowe's on my side of the river

and it's nice to know I can now have a big box store to patronize again.

Home Depot has been practically destroyed. The shelves get barer every month, the sales staff sparser and less knowledgeable, the whole experience even more unpleasant than it was the last time.

There are no more mom & pop hardware stores here.

12. Expect O'Reilly To Start Whining

about his free speech rights being violated and that "far left loons" are trying to shut him up.

Gag me!

[krispos42]

18. Tell Bill it's the invisible hand of the free market

You make yourself an embarassment to your sponsors, your sponsors 'go away'... :rofl:

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Great. I'll tell Lowe's thank-you when I go spend more money there!

[demnan]

14. That makes me feel good

I'm a big time Lowes shopper since there is no Mom and Pop place close by. I'm always buying birdseed there.

[Supersedeas]

15. kick for Lowes

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. Good for them. I hope others do the same.

[EFerrari]

17. One more reason to shop at Lowes.

:)

21. I missed that.story. What did O'Reilly say?
