An e-mail I just received from Mervyn's Department Stores:

LOL. And while you are waiting for that pie to bake, take a few moments to contact your local ABC station and the advertisers.
We had been buying our kids' school clothes there, and weren't really looking forward to boycotting them.
But we would have. Whew!
I guess it's time to boycott ALL ABC sponsors. Anybody got a list?

Update #2 -Politically Incorrect Advertisers Contact List
Be silent has ABC sponsor info.
Dear XXXXX,
Thank you for contacting us.
I have spoken with a representative from our marketing department and have been notified that all Mervyn's commercials are being pulled from the "Politically Incorrect" time slot. We've also been told that we will not advertise during this show in the future. The comments Bill Maher made regarding the terrorist attacks were totally out of line and brutally insensitive to all Americans. We regret that Mervyn's name was associated with that and have taken the necessary steps to stop current and future advertising on that program.
We appreciate your being a valued Mervyn's guest.

They sponsor some shooting events, as I recall.
When it's just about sex - go ahead and spew your garbage, 50% of the country won't buy it but enough will to keep your sponsors paying the bills, but when the intern goes missing, it's no longer just about sex. The list of libs that jumped off the "it's just about sex" bandwagon was a mile long and growing when 9-11-01 happened. Trying to can the military vote in Florida? Doesn't look so nice on the resume does it Mr. "but I wanna be president cuz I don't know what else to do" Gore. Too bad for Mr. Maher that he didn't remember that even the democrats backpedaled at dissing the military in November. Don't mess with our boys, (and girls), in the military! They defend us, so naturally we feel obligated to defend them.
George, I think that you are right. I think that Lee's has sponsored some events.
We need one of our NRA experts to clue us in re Levis, which we know about, Wranglers and Lees or whatever!
Living 50 miles from San Francisco, I have watched the Levi company go from an American company to a maggot infested anti American company. Its founders must be spinning in their graves!
Thursday or Friday I will send an email to every company who has pulled their ads on Maher. I support Big 5 and WalMart for selling guns and ammo in their stores and let their management know that I support them! We have to go to the big stick as an adverse punishment for PC corporations and a big carrot for when they do the right thing! The dark side has done that for years, and we have more money and more shoppers!
You are with friends, tell us how you really feel about this left wing extremist maggot!
But if I heard him correctly on the Tonight Show, he was implying that the American people shared in the act he desribed as cowardice by not opposing it and stopping it. Yet there are people who are insisting this dog-breathed clown is a supporter for the military on FR! C'mon folks."
Right on! Maher in this incident and his past re hatred of what conservatives value is one of definers re real conservatives versus pseudo conservatives.
Maybe Maher can run for president on their special so called conservative party after they leave FR and the rest of America! They can lust after him and try to deceive us to protect him. They deserve him! They love Maher, hate profiling, GW, republicans and would have us do nothing to revenge the mass murder of about 7,000 innocents on 9/11! Humm, again they sound just like liberals after your rip the flag off that they wrap themselves in! Isn't that funny! As GW said, "You are either with us or against us!" Maher and his supporters are not with us!
