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."

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.

It didn’t hurt budwieser when they pulle their stuff from that muslim deli on 9/11.
Not every muslim is a muslim is a terrorist but so far every terrorist is a muslim.
Muslims don’t have the brain capacity to understand the inventory of Lowes in the first place. They can’t repair things, they can’t build things. Ever see a mooselimb try and use a power screwdriver or a wrench? Comical! They certainly don’t go there for a Christmas tree or lights. They ‘re a waste of space and H2O so who cares if they boycott?

I will never shop at HomoDepot being that they promote the fascist homosexual agenda and march in every pervert pride parade and promote perversion to children.
This is evidence that Lowes does not support left-wing fascism. The left-wing are always trying to defend Islam and I have always wondered why. It seems that the left-wing support all fascist groups regardless if one or more of them may even oppose eachother such as the fascist homosexual movement and fascist Islam.
This is just making clear that it is worth the effort to avoid HomeDepot and to shop at Lowes.
Sir, I was not aware of that. Thank you for the information — I will definitely pass it along. Thank you for your service.
legislative action if Lowe’s doesn’t apologize to Muslims and reinstate its ads”.
...how do you force a private company to spend money on ads exactly?
Not only will this inspire me to shop at Lowe’s. I’m going to contact them and tell them so.
Guess they will get their wires, batteries, duct tape and nails from Home Depot instead

Now, I gotta make a trip to Lowes this week and help them make up some sales
Fortunately I don’t have all my Christmas shopping done. I’m sure I can find lots of great stuff at Lowes.
Lowes now has all my business.
It’s my understanding that Lowe’s, and several other companies, were ready to advertise on TLC for the muzzies, but when public outrage began to rise, Lowe’s decided NOT to advertise there. Am I correct?
What’s needed is a ‘BUY-cott’, buy from LOWE’S!
Heard rumors about crappy ratings. The show may be gone soon so it may not matter.
Lowes recently closed a number of stores around the country. It sounds like the CEO is a no-nonsense guy, though I wish he’d reconsider those choices and make all his cuts in Kalifornia.
Must be a new policy - as late as last year, they only offered it Memorial Day, 4 Jul and Vets Day.
Yes. I believe they advertised on Episode One. Then heard from their customers and made the business decision that they made.
Along with others, I have always preferred Lowe’s. This solidifies that preferences to bedrock.
Lowes was one of the companies on the far left website witholding ads from Glenn Beck. Now Home Depot is supporting the homosexual alliance.
Where’s a guy to buy his lumber?
I’d say go to Lowe’s,buy up those cursed incandescent lightbulbs,maybe an extension cord or two,a screwdriver,whatever you might need for some puttering around the house....then,take your receipt, black out whatever personal info might be on it and write a note on the back,”Here’s what we think about your stupid boycott idea” and send it to the moron’s office.Maybe he’ll get the message.
