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.

You are indeed a pit bull.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and forever!)
Bumping again.
The conservative victim they have on each show is the only mind available; the rest are just lungs and vocal cords, and totally mindless! It is a sad commentary on this nation that this show has lasted so long. But then again, look at what passes for TV news. When there is no competition idiocy flurishes.
This is why we must contact those who appear on the show as well as the advertisers. Those conservatives must never watch or tape the show, because it is edited to make them (conservatives) look like idiots.
Let the games continue.
Again Thank You.
Go for it. We are winning, and you are on defense.
TV show sponsors spend millions of dollars per year on advertising. Sometimes they screw up and sponsor the wrong show, such as in the case of PI.
Once it was brought to their attention, however, most sponsors have seen the error of their ways and dropped their advertising on the show. I'm sure that their policy-makers ran the numbers and weighed their consequences carefully before making these multi-million decisions to change the status quo.
The former sponsors have already decided that the small numbers of Anti-American protesters that support Maher aren't worth worrying about. Freepers rule. You are in over your head.
By the way, even though you are on the wrong side of this, I did not resort to name calling. You did. My argument is so strong that I didn't have to get frustrated and resort to this weak tactic. You sound upset.
Name calling has no part in a debate between us. Name calling is usually a "pre-game warmup" for fighting, not debating. You aren't calling me out, are you? If that is the case, you are even more over your head than when the activity was limited to debate, heheh.
If that were ever the case, you would be well-served to visit Quizno's one last time to stock up on provisions. Better pack a lunch.
No that's your opinion. And you are entitled to be full of crap.
Each time he replies, he bumps it to the top where the vast majority of people who read it will agree with us, and be reminded to continue contacting sponsors to drop PI.
I hope he doesn't get tired.
I understand that it must be extremely frustrating for you being on the losing side and all, but no one called you a name here. You sound even more upset now. Perhaps you should calm down a little before you begin your Quixotic fight to topple the Quizno's empire. If you rant they will not take you seriously.
PI's former sponsors take my associates and me very seriously.
"PI's former sponsors take my associates and me very seriously."
Good for you. There are plenty of us out here of all political stripes who are letting the sponsors know what we will do as well. Sears FedEx etc have lost my business and I and many others have let them know it. They can do what they want about it that's the American way. Are you planning to boycott anything Dinesh D'Souza puts out like a book or whatever for calling the terrorists "warriors" before Maher's policy remarks?
