The Left only has lies. They can’t understand truth. The Left has been telling lies for so long that the lies have become their truth.

If you're a fan of communists, sex perverts, baby killers, trial lawyers, satanists, socialist crook trade union bosses and imbeciles, you will love KOS.

Never been there either and wouldn't want to stand anywhere near someone who has, but its no different than DU.

One day it will just be gone and its proprietors held for their own protection.

Boycott the creeps.

Supporting a political organization is one thing, but supporting hate groups is quite another thing.

The family that founded JetBlue is full of leftists and KOmmies, I’m not surprised.

Nice. And Jet Blue wants more passengers to fly out of Richmond, all the while supporting KOS. I will not fly with Jet Blue again. Another CEO with his head firmly planted up his @$$, as he shows his allegiance to the enemy.

Hillary Clinton:

Furthermore, I helped forge a partnership between Jet Blue Airways, New York Apple Association and Empire State Apples that directly benefited New York apple growers. JetBlue Airways offered passengers and crewmembers a New York State apple when they boarded a JetBlue plane at the John F. Kennedy International Airport. In a single month JetBlue purchased 25,000 New York apples.

Jet Blue had a good rep and good word of mouth for a while, but most of that goodwill have been squandered in the last 8+ months or so with some very public horror stories.

I have flown them a few times and was very pleased, but the horror stories never really stopped and haven;t used them lately. If they are in bed with a shrill partisan site Daily Kos, that’s just inviting more bad will in a time when they should be trying very hard to build up their goodwill again.

I’ll stick with Continental for now.

Maybe we need to have JetBlue put their money where their mouth is:

******

Thank you for contacting JetBlue with your comment.

To clarify, JetBlue is not sponsoring the popular DailyKos web site. JetBlue donated ten tickets to the YearlyKos Convention, a gathering of 1500 bloggers and prominent American politicians that includes Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, to expand our reach in the online world and to encourage customers to take advantage of our new service to Chicago, where the convention is being held. This is one of the largest gathering of bloggers and online communicators, a community of growing importance to any company. Our donation of a handful of tickets for event organizers is quite different than an endorsement. We show FOX News as one of the 36 channels of DirecTV programming on our planes, but by doing so we do not endorse their views, just as we do not endorse the views of individuals exercising their freedom of speech online. We would be equally pleased to sponsor a seminar or convention hosted by FOX News should that opportunity arise, and in fact, we have co-sponsored events with FOX News.

JetBlue does not subscribe to any specific set of political beliefs and certainly does not endorse the wide range of views expressed by the participants of this convention. We treat our customers and crewmembers with dignity and respect, regardless of political viewpoints, and we encourage them to draw their own conclusions with regard to politics. Simply put, it’s none of our business why you travel – we just want you to choose JetBlue for our friendly service and comfy seats.

Regards,

JetBlue Airways

Please don’t fly JetBlue Airways—as George Soros is the major stockholder in that airline. Every time you fly JetBlue (stock symbol JBLU)—you are helping to fund George Soros’s efforts to defeat the President! http://finance.yahoo.com By checking the ownership of JetBlue—you’ll see that Soros himself owns 5,896,797 shares of JBLU—worth about $150,000,000.Soros Fund Management, LLC, owns 11,803,916 shares of JBLU—worth about $298,000,000! Please pass the word about JetBlue and George Soros!!!!

According to the document, JetBlue secretly provided 5 million passenger-name records, involving some 1.5 million passengers, to a Huntsville, Alabama-based defense contractor called Torch Concepts, which government officials say was participating in a military base security program for the Defense Department. One of Torch Concepts’ vendors, Little Rock-based Acxiom Corporation, then used the JetBlue data to extrapolate Social Security numbers and other private information on almost half these customers, according to the document, which was a Torch Concepts presentation on passenger risk assessment. ...

Passengers sue JetBlue Airways for passing on personal information

Associated Press | September 22, 2003
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A group of passengers has sued JetBlue Airways Corp. for passing their personal information to a Defense Department contractor. The suit, filed Monday, follows JetBlue’s acknowledgment last week that, in violation of its own privacy policy, it had given information from about 5 million passenger records to Torch Concepts of Huntsville, Ala. Torch produced a study, “Homeland Security: Airline Passenger Risk Assessment,” that was purported to help the government improve military base security. The class-action lawsuit, filed in Utah’s 3rd District Court, alleges fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of contract and invasion of privacy. Also on...

Just a reminder - Jet Blue Airlines was founded on money partly supplied by George Soros’ investment company. And Chuckie Schumer has been a strong supporter since day one.

New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton attended the signing ceremony in Rome and said, “This new partnership between JetBlue and the Empire Aero Center will help new jobs take off and new opportunities take flight in the Mohawk Valley. Indeed, this is a great day for the community and New York - I am proud to have played a part in making this happen,” Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said.
