What a pathetic attempt at wit!

Lighten up Pubby. I bought two cases of Cornhuskers Lotion just for you. You sound a bit chapped.

Political correctness rules corporate staffs and corporate headquarters throughout America. Remember---almost everybody there except the few very old heads at the top (50-ish men who will soon be retired) was educated after the seventies and were brainwashed with liberalism.

Since the ads won't be on P.H. anymore, I won't know how to buy GE light bulbs, will I?

I really like Paul Harvey. He's a well loved man in the U.S. I'll pass this on.
GE can shove it. We've always bought their light bulbs. No more. There's lots of pro-American products out there instead.

PS...If I get any gifts for Christmas with the GE label, I'll return them to the store and spend the cash on something else. Maybe give it to a Christian lobby organization.

I was thinking more along the lines of companies that GE owns that I could boycott.

Most GE appliances that I've purchased over the last few years would have probably made good boat anchors. They haven't been good for much else.

Paul Harvey is a true-blue, red-blooded American patriot

Paul Harvey was born in 1918. As I understand it, a controversy that has always followed him is that he somehow avoided military service in WWII. Perhaps someone here knows some more details about this.

GE has chosen the wrong side. I support Paul Harvey.

Message to Mr. Gary Sheffer.

Good evening Mr. Sheffer.

It is with great sadness that I have learned that you are pulling your advertising from Paul Harvey's show. Paul Harvey is a great American, and has proven it several times. CAIR, on the other hand, is nothing but a mouthpiece for extremist Muslims. The FBI's former chief of counterterrorism, Steven Pomerantz, has even concluded that "CAIR, its leaders and its activities effectively give aid to international terrorist groups.

If you prefer to advertise with them, it is your choice and I completely understand. However, I hope you will understand that when we remodel our kitchen this spring, it will not contain anything with a GE logo on it. I will further avoid any product with a GE logo when considering purchases.

I listen regularly to Paul, and support his advertisers. If you chose to join us again in the future, I will consider your products at that time.

Thank you. And Merry Christmas.

Becki

I blame Mr. Harvey. He is much too educated to stoop down to ignorant religion-bashing. An apology from him would suffice.

Anybody know of any GE subsidiaries that should be added to this boycott?

People who do not have money to burn would be wise to boycott GE appliances, regardless of their politics.

GE is the company that installed defective compressors in its Hotpoint refrigerators. Compressors normally have a seven year warrenty, but up to a 20 year life span (I have an ancient Frigidaire that predates computers). The compressors in the Hotpoint refrigerators quit after 8 years. The problem was so bad, GE offered to "help" with the replacement cost of a new compressor. Compressors cost $600.00, GE paid $200.00 of that.

That program has since been discontinued -- much like the Ford/Firestone Tire replacement scam -- and people who had the compressors replaced after 10 years were stuck for the entire cost of the unit.

Personally, I just replaced the entire refrigerator. But I would never buy another GE product, no matter what the price.

Mr. Harvey says he is sorry if anyone was offended by his accurate statements about Islam

Except that in this case there was neither ignorance nor religion-bashing involved, though some of the best pop music in the world (viz. Khaled's Aalach Tloumouni and Cheb Mami's Hay Wadi Hay Galbi) does come from ex-patriots from Muslim countries.

Just dumped my GE stock. Seemed like a good time especially since it is sitting right atop its latest attempt to get much over 30. With this in the wind it will likely move south by double digit percentage again.

They're pretty big into the defense sector,iirc. Unless they've seperated those segments out I wouldn't be so sure.
