Update: Politically Incorrect Advertisers Contact List
Freepers | 9-20-2001 | freepers

Posted on 09/20/2001 11:51:04 AM PDT by quimby

After Bill Maher's comments on Moday nights "politically incorrect" show, both Sears and Fed Ex have dropped their sposorship of the show. Other sponsors are considering removing their ads. Please list any other sponsors and any contact info.

Here's the quote from Moday nights show::

Bill Mahr: But also, we should -- we have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly.

Let these sponsors know what you think. The above quote is just the straw that broke the camels back. Maher is the coward for having a show format that puts one conservative and three liberal guests which makes the odds 4 to 1 against conservatives.

If you thinks this is about this one statement, please check out some of his previous statements here:

ABC's Vile Bill Maher Calls U.S. Military Cowardly & hijackers warriors!

Some have tried to frame this as a free speech issue. Not at all. Lets set him free to speak on some street corner.

Corona Beer

Warner Bros.

Chevrolet

Ford Motor Company

Quiznos

Thanks to Rocky for the above links.

More advertisers from last nites show:

Bill Maher is on Dennis Prager right now denying his own statement, wrapping himself in "truth." He says "If you took it the wrong way, I'm sorry."

For the record, I think Bill Maher is an idiot. But what he said is the truth. Clinton's firing of cruise missles from the safety of the White House WAS cowardly.

He never said clinton. Maher was just on Dennis Pragers show and again said his words were not about the military, but about the leaders. When prager asked him if he meant clinton, naher said "and congress, too." He's a weasel.

One at a time. Look at Maher as a trial run.

It was reported yesterday that Fed Ex cancelled their ads after about 100 phone calls. Lets encourage the others to join them.

Maher has laid a trap for himself because of his loudmouthed and unreasonable support of Clinton all these years.

1.He has to come out and (lie and?) say he meant to say the Clinton Administration was cowardly, in order to get himself off the hook.
2. He can't bring himself to do say anything truly bad about WJC.
3. Even if he were to name "Clinton" now, no one would believe he accidentally left out mentioning the name 'Clinton' the other day. We all know he ALWAYS makes sure to clearly indicate a target he really wishes to criticize.

If he meant to criticize Clinton he would have interrupted a few more times to make that clear.

Sadly, Maher doesn't seem to have any direction in which to dig out of the hole he's created for himself.

Dennis Prager is scheduled to appear on "Politically Incorrect" tonight. I will watch it only to hear what Mr. Prager has to say. On his program today, Dennis Prager explained that whether or not one thinks the terrorists were cowards or not is irrelevant to the fact that they were evil.

The first two hours of the Dennis Prager Program will be repeated tonight on http://www.krla870.com/ from 5 to 7 p.m. PDT and are really worth listening to if you missed the program this morning.

Maher is still wearing knee pads.

Please write down the sponsor names and add them to the contact list. As much as I like Prager, I can't stomach the show. Maher is saying now on Michael Medved, "Its not a choice between good and evil, its between bad and worse."

Hello, Bill:

Prager addressed the point of whether or not the terrorists were cowards, despite its irrelevancy with respect to the evilness of their actions, on his program this morning. He said that because these terrorists truly believed they were going to go to a much better place full of sexual pleasures if they killed themselves while killing the despised Americans, that hardly qualifies as "bravery" and in fact makes the case that their actions were cowardly as well as evil. You should listen to the re-broadcast later today.

I would add that bravery/cowardice is irrelevant to firing a missile from "a 1000 miles away" -- that's how they're supposed to be deployed.

I just find it odd that on a forum which despises political correctness, that you'd want to ban a show because it's politically incorrect.

His show is not about "political incorrectness," its about Bill Maher's hatred for American Institutions. Check out some of his past statements.

No one is for killing innocent civilians. Almost everyone is for justice and retribution against those who murdered our countrymen. But the violence against other Americans because they look like "the enemy" or any deliberate killing of civilians (a few always die in a war) is wrong.

BTW, "Politically Incorrect" is the most politically correct show on TV. All it does is parrot the liberal line -- sometimes what they are thinking but don't feel it's prudent to say, but still the liberal line.

As the eminent conservative author Joseph Sobran has also stated, a willingness to die for your cause is the definintion of courage. Say what you want about Maher (he is a massive moron), but in this case, he is correct. The people that committed these crimes were not cowards. Many leaders (including the president, if I remember correctly) have characterized these acts as such, and in this respect, they are simply telling the People what they want to hear.

While as a Christian, to say that I believe that they showed courage in furthering a profoundly mistaken belief system would be an understatement in the extreme, at the same time, to say that they were cowardly, IMHO, smacks of propaganda. I don't believe that is the truth, and I don't think it's getting us anywhere. To try and degrade their acts as cowardly rings hollow in my ears, even as I violently disagree with the philosophies that produce their intent. I think it makes us look bad to make mischaracterizations about those that did this. Call them evil, call them misled, call them crackpots, call them sinners, but don't try to fool us with blatant fallacies. Such statements betray a profound lack of understanding of the reasons for these attacks and failure to know how to go about preventing them.

I don't recall Congress having a vote on whether to send Cruise Missiles to Sudan and Afghanistan - Can't blame military leaders either, they were against it.

"but look at it from an unbiased prospective."

As if having your face in Maher's behind is an "unbiased prospective" (whatever a "prospective" is).

Using your reasoning, the Allies were "cowards" in bombing Iraq prior to sending ground forces or when we bombed German installations prior to the invasion of Normandy.

While I question Clinton's reasons for sending only cruise missiles into Afghanistan, it would be pure stupidity to send in ground forces without first being "coward" enough to send faceless bombs in order to preserve the lives of our soldiers.
