After Bill Maher's comments on Moday nights "politically incorrect" show, both Sears and Fed Ex have dropped their sposorship of the show. Other sponsors are considering removing their ads. Please list any other sponsors and any contact info.
Here's the quote from Moday nights show::
Bill Mahr: But also, we should -- we have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly.
Let these sponsors know what you think. The above quote is just the straw that broke the camels back. Maher is the coward for having a show format that puts one conservative and three liberal guests which makes the odds 4 to 1 against conservatives.
If you thinks this is about this one statement, please check out some of his previous statements here:
ABC's Vile Bill Maher Calls U.S. Military Cowardly & hijackers warriors!
and here:
Most distasteful monologue in the history of American television
Some have tried to frame this as a free speech issue. Not at all. Lets set him free to speak on some street corner.
Thanks to Rocky for the above links.

I will seriously reconsider my future purchases of Bud Light if this sponsorship is continuing.
It 's a good site to infiltrate where you can post your letter as well as send it, which may clue others in. The site tallies the percentage of complaints, which they send to the companies, for a triple whammy. For those who may not know. . .Trojan Condoms is at www.carterwallace.com or a N.Y. phone/fax and address.
lets made this easy.
It was the usual three Liberals plus Maher beating up on the lone Conservative, in this case Ann Coulter. The only way she could even get a word in was to outscream them. It was awful, more anti-American rhetoric, and as usual, Maher on the wrong side of everything. This guy and this lousy show have GOT to go!
Your e-mail was forwarded to the President of our company who replied with the following response:
Valued Guests,
We, at Strouds, are very disturbed by the comments made by Bill Mahr on his television show and share your concern. From our understanding, the spots that were shown during his television show were placed by the television station as "free spots" due to the interruption of scheduling the previous week.
We have demanded that our "free spots" no longer be shown on that television show. In addition, we will certainly not consider that show for a paid spot promoting our company.
Thank you for your concern and bringing this matter to our attention.
Rob Valone President Strouds Corporation
I hope this answers your concerns and thank you for taking the time to write to us at Strouds.
Sincerely, Susan Freed Strouds Customer Service
