Well now I'm going to shop exclusively at Lowe's to offset your offset.

There are always a few idiots fighting for the evil thigs like bigotry out of some immature 'rebellion' usually.

You should also donate to the neo-Nazis, the KKK, the corporate lobbying organizations who want to strip rights such as net neutrality and groups supporting 'military detention'.

While you're at it, contribute to the tobacco lobbies; while they're not doing well here in the US, they're still killing many millions overseas where children can smoke.

It was a frigging ad on a show.

If they had pictures praising Allah on their windows, then I would agree that some groups might find offense.

Hell, they could advertise on the Playboy Channel (or similar) for all I care. I am not worried about the clientele it will attract.

Wow. :rolleyes:
Shopping for a chainsaw at Lowe's is now likened to supporting a neo nazi group. :rolleyes:
You clearly have lost your sanity at some point. No reason to have a discussion with you. Take care.

No, your childish argument that you will support a company specifically because it is being opposed for supporting bigotry against Muslims is like the mentality supporting neo-Nazis.

In fact, I've already said the case for boycott against Lowe's is weak; it's your mentality in your post that I am discussing.

The two sides are simple.

One is saying, treat Muslims in America without hate and discrimination.

The other is saying, do treat them with hate and discrimination, demanding boycotts of a TV show being sponsored with the first message.

It's outrageous that whether to treat them with hate should be a 'controversial issue'.

It would be like groups boycotting advertisers on 'Cosby' because it makes blacks look 'normal', and an advertiser cancelling under the pressure.
