Funny, didn't hear from the media about the backlash they faced from advertising on the show in the first place.

Anyway, good for Lowe's. I need to fix my garage doors this weekend and this is as good of an excuse as any. ;-)

If consumers would only wise up about just how much power they have.

I can’t wait to see (as if) this Islamofascist Fam showing the kiddies playing War craft on their playstation. Or the wifey in shorts and a tube top while cooking dinner /s

I’d imagine muslims don’t do too much in the way of home improvement. “I love what you’ve done w/your cave.” (Forgot quote source.)

Bullsh*t. Anyone inclined to “backlash” against Lowes from pulling its ads from TLC’s pro muslim propoganda wouldn’t be the kind I’d expect to bumb into in the tool crib at a hardware store.

No, but they've got to buy wires, nails, pipes, etc somewhere for their bombs.

Now I have three reasons to shop at Lowes:
1. They are NOT Homodepot
2. They give me a 10% military retiree discount
3. They don’t support Muzzie propaganda.

I noticed this story yesterday. I wonder if there’s any way we can register our support of Lowe’s online?

LOL! Of course...everyone knows that when Al Queda types aren’t detonating themselves amid masses of school children or elderly, they are pondering the finer points of interior design and home improvement.

Hey, the muzzies can purchase their bomb making equipment elsewhere.

We good folks will purchase at Lowe’s.

May the flies of a thousand pigs come to rest on their mosque.

They certainly have a right not to advertise although I’m sure the democrats will change that if they can. I’m still waiting for the media outrage over advertisers being scared off Glenn Beck, as well as the onslaught against all Christianity.

We “know” religion is such a stupid thing, why would we want to promote the most narrow minded intolerant homophobic violence prone religion (Islam).

Won’t it be wonderful when a muslim quarterback is praying to Mecca in the NFL? It will be our diversity duty to adore him, unlike that ridiculous Tim Tebow. /s

Ouch! I love your way with words. I think I’ll go to Lowe’s today.....there’s more of us supporters than detractors and it needs to be shown. :)

How dare they choose not to pay for advertising on state media. THEY WILL PAY.

I am going to make a special stop at Lowes today and buy stuff. The manager will learn why.

I plan to just visit their website and send them a note of support under the “contact” button.
