USAA will go the way of Target, Kellogg’s, ESPN and maybe FOX. Throw down with the left and you’ll be tossed.

How about ESPN, which has become a political affiliate and leftist opinionated commentator show. Will they drop their adds from ESPN? As a retired employee of USAA, I watched them slip from the purpose of serving their members to robbing their members, and driving their employees to quit, retire, or face being let go when they changed their attitude from one of serving the member to selling the member, becoming sales oriented and greedy, rather than a service oriented business that they once prided themselves in. The last two presidents took the company in this direction, and previous presidents are probably rolling over in their graves with disdain.

USAA told ABC News that it aired ads on the three shows by accident...


What a pathetic lie. What, they “accidentally “ signed the contract to run the ads?

When will business people learn that if they choose political sides, they are alienating half of their business? Seems like a no brainer to me.

[USAA is a pioneer of the concept of direct marketing; most of its business is conducted over the Internet or telephone using employees instead of agents.]

In December 2009, USAA Chairman General Lyles was appointed to the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board by the White House.

True - but sometimes it cannot be helped. ChickFilA, for instance. They only were exposed by the contributions they made to traditional marriage groups. It’s not necessarily exposing their political beliefs as exercising their right to give money to whomever they like - thereby standing up for the Christian beliefs.

Thing is, when people find out what they are doing, Patriots don't play their game...costs them $$$ and they don't have money in their pockets...

We have seen Target and others taking a big hit...hardly any cars in front of Target stores around here, looks like KMart before they closed a lot of their stores...

When we see this happening, we need to ban together and take them down...show them if they are not supporting America and the American People then they are going down...

We need to do this with the media, talking heads and radio show hosts...bring them down if they don't support what Our Elected President is doing to Make America Great Again!!!

I wonder this ( see post 26) has anything to do with pulling HANNITY’S advertising?

So, what other pro-conservative alternatives are there?
I’m only asking because it’s been a while since I’ve shopped for car insurance.
Geico and Progressive sure aren’t.

You’d think companies would keep their political opinions quiet.

If you do visit, be sure to click on the "Most Active" tab, and click on the "Sean Hannity" post. 189 pages at the time this is written, and most are not favorable, to say the very least.

This comes very close to an endorsement... Isn’t this an example of a corporation, Comcast, making significant donations to a political party?

now that's an interesting question. Anti-trust maybe?

“I’m a USAA member...I blasted them in their forum.”

I’m also a USAA member. I wrote a letter to the CEO, mailed it yesterday. I reminded him the company is owned by the policyholders, we aren’t just customers. As an owner I asked him to send a letter to all owners explaining the company’s advertising policy, and the decision to cancel advertising on the Hannity show.

I encourage all USAA member/owners to write letters to the CEO requesting a report to the owners. We need to hold management accountable for its decisions in operating our company.

Decency won out for ChickFilA, that’s who these other companies need to take lessons from. If they side with the party of perversion, they take a hit. Will they ever learn?

Good to hear - as most other members probably did, I received a fulsome email message from USAA yesterday “honoring” the troops in recognition of Memorial Day - sent them a return message via the “contact us” feature expressing my disgust at their hypocrisy, their having thrown in, by abandoning Hannity, with people who detest the troops and this country - said that what the Media Research Center had described as “obnoxious and shameful” I considered a betrayal - might mean something to them coming from a member of fifty three years.....
