So let me get this straight. Jet Blue, an airline operating out of NYC, sponsors an organization which maintains the war on terror is a fraud and supports surrender in the face of terrorism? OK. Got it.

I bet Kos is crapping in his diapers cause when Bill gets on a subject, he doesn’t like to let go.

But come on dude, Jet Blue has Direct TV on all flights and leather seats.

[dynachrome]

I’ve never flown Jet Blue (not in my area). I certainly won’t use them now.

[trumandogz]

BoR’s work will only serve to generate hits on Daily Kos.

George Soros is a major stockholder in JetBlue...why does this item not surprise me?

[Fred Hayek]

I thought Jet Blue was owned mostly by George Soros

The CEO of JetBlue goes to the same church as Glenn Beck. I’ve heard him on Glenn’s show.

[I still care]

LOL. I always thought that might be the reason it was named JetBLUE.

I always used it, it has direct TV and a good price, and I fly between two main hubs. I think I’ll look around next time.

[stockstrader]

Any company, like JetBlue, which has George Soros as a major stockholder will NEVER get a penny of mine!!!

[I still care]

PS, I belong to their frequent flyer club, and if they are sponsering Kos, I’ll definitely write and let them know.

Frankly, it’s stupid for any major corporation to sponsor political stuff. It’s like going to half your patrons and saying, “Hey! I hate you!”

But come on dude, Jet Blue has Direct TV on all flights and leather seats.

That's the least they could do for eight hour waits at the tarmac.

[dynachrome]

I emailed Mr. Beck with the info.

[PeterFinn]

The email just went to my employees: Jet Blue flights will no longer be reimbursible.

[tcrlaf]

REALLY?

Then you won’t be doing much spending, will you?

I think they can sponsor whoever they please and anyone can boycott them.

You left out HAL. Michael Moore also apparently has a position in HAL.
