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

Dear xxxxxxx,

Thanks for contacting us.

The comments the were made regarding the terrorist attack were totally out of line and brutally insensitive to all Americans. We regret that Mervyn's name was associated with that, And we have taken the necessary steps to stop current and future advertising on that program.

We thank you for being a valued guest. Please visit us again at www.mervyns.com.

LOL. And while you are waiting for that pie to bake, take a few moments to contact your local ABC station and the advertisers.

My wife said she got a call from Mervyn's today...she had emailed them some time last week.

We had been buying our kids' school clothes there, and weren't really looking forward to boycotting them.

But we would have. Whew!

>>Maher started his show on Friday by saying that ABC decided to air it without sponsors and added that was a "studley" thing to do. <<

I guess it's time to boycott ALL ABC sponsors. Anybody got a list?

How can we get the word out about Janet Reno and Jesse Jackson? For once the press is ignoring them and both deserve to be exposed for their current attacks against the Bush administration's response to the terrorist attack. JJ's extortion days would end abruptly and Reno, well, we wouldn't have to hear the glowing weekly praise from the press as she launches her campaign against Jeb Bush for Gov. of Florida. Yet, the press is absent.
RENO and JJ: RATS .

Ah, poor Bill Maher.....Things were SO good for him!....His paycheck was hefty. He could sip coffee at Starbucks rather than a Waffle House counter....A little nothing-ball to begin with, he rose to having his own TV show, his name in lights, a star on his dressing room door, a chicken in every bed. He was proud to be a leftist, socialist, communist promulgator of the faith to all the yahoos across the vast wasteland. It was so much FUN!.....He stacked his shows against conservative guests. He sneered at family, religious and national values. His left-wing guests and sycophantic groupies fawned over him. Famous names kissed his ring. Hot women wanted to bend down and kiss the top of his cocky head. The applause of his brain-dead liberal audiences emboldened him more and more...Life was SWEET.....Then, kaboom!.....His arrogant motor-mouth ran off a little too much and sparked out. Now his goo-goo world is imploding down his Dockers to his cruddy ankles and OJ shoes.....Let me be the first, but not the last, to say "ciao, comrade. Don't let the door......."

This is the reply that I received from Mervyns:

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.

Evidently Irene wasn't rushed like Jackie was.

Thank you...........I'm sorry to see some conservatives defend this guy. He deserves whatever he gets.

RE: Mervyn's... Even though the message was the same, their responses were not canned. I give them credit for that! They actually hire people that can think and put a sentence together! I am impressed with Mervyn's.

[Salvation]

Bingo! It's working. Maher is going to be out of a job. Hehehehe!

w/r/t Levi's, real shooters wear Wranglers.

They sponsor some shooting events, as I recall.

It just goes to show, there is such a thing as being too Politically Incorrect. Astonishing the lessons that have been learned by the left haven't sunk in to some thick skulls.

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.

Bumpity Bump.

George posted, "w/r/t Levi's, real shooters wear Wranglers. They sponsor some shooting events, as I recall."

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!

[Grampa Dave]

Would you please quit holding back on how you feel about Maher!

You are with friends, tell us how you really feel about this left wing extremist maggot!

[Grampa Dave]

You posted, "There are people at FR who actually believe that Maher was supporting the military in his comments yet he refuses to acknowledge that the "cowardice" he spoke of was directed at Clinton. If this is not the case, then he is a liar and a shameless Clinton apologist because he is the "coward" that launched the attacks on the aspirin factory. Not the Congress, not the military, and certainly not the American people.

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!

Excellent work! I shall write a thank you note to Mervyn's.
