Amen to that, HL27. The media didn’t take USAA down, we the people did with no help of traditional media.

You’re absolutely right. And I’d forgotten about that. I’m not just a policy holder but a member/owner.

I want to see that explanation of advertising policy as well.

Exactly. If it was by accident you wouldn’t think 100% of the three choices would be liberal. Statistically it’s not real likely. Therefore, I would call it intentional.

You know — another thing that doesn’t make sense in what USAA did.

Hardly any USAA members or future members are watching Rachel Maddow at all!

But they are listening to Hannity.

Of course, with what’s going on at Fox, Hannity could be jumping to a new network soon.

USAA member here as well since 1977. I let them know on face book and on the phone what I think. Cancelling on Maddow’s show doesnt make me a bit happier. They hurt a guy who has been a very strong advocate for the military and veterans and I will not forgive or forget. I am still considering taking my insurance and mortgage business elsewhere.

Hannity is the last of the ‘cash cow’ for fox news...they lose (loose) him and they are below CNN...

This phony USAA was promoting themselves to represent the Military, FALSE...and they got caught...

Anytime ANYONE represents our Military, they best be doing that in the best of interest to the Veterans...or they can reap what they sow...and they can be handed their heads if they keep this up...

I say: Take Them Down!!!

USAA is only doing damage control and covering their rears after they got caught stopping ads on Hannity while running ads on MSNBC. They still, IMO, have a lot of explaining to do.

All USAA had to do to begin with is say we advertise on all kinds of shows to reach as many Americans as possible and we respect free speech and differing views, left, right, and center. But they pandered to the Left and got burned

That Maddow guy is annoying. Whenever I see him I immediately change the channel over to ESPN to hear whatever the social engineers who are black, lesbian, mentally handicapped affirmative action hires have to say.

“Many commenters said they would take their business elsewhere in retaliation for MSNBC pulling the ads”

The left don’t use USAA to begin with. Companies need to stop kowtowing to the left just because they have a media team who can write thousands of letters. The right are the true customers. We walk and you are out of business. You support us and we stay, and you are successful. Look at Chik Fila.

Responsible CEOs need to do MUCH more than “scream”

YOURE FIRED might get some attention

Use to have all my retirement funds in USAA Investment. Pulled that 8 years ago and went with Vanguard.

Make up your mind, USAA. Pick a team and stay there, or better yet stay off the field of political debate and just run your business.

I’ve been a USAA member for 40+ yrs.

No plans to change that.

This looks like an error and they will fix it.

I would feel better if the CEO were a retired officer, as previous ones had been. I have the impression they departed from that with the current CEO. Anyone know?

Guess they were feeling heat from Sean Hannity listeners?
