Rob Reiner is a political activist. He toured with Ed Asner and Martin Sheen for Gore-Lieberman 2000, he helped write Gore's recent coming out speech (and attack on our CIC) - the list is long.

Lands' End chose a well-known leftist activist for their Christmas spokeman - to teach us about 'family values'. Our family says, "Goodbye, Lands' End."

Thanks for the heads-up. They've just lost my business.

I believe L.L. Bean owners are pro-life. Better quality clothing too!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

You're welcome. We've purchased many items from them over the years, sigh. Cute 'cover dogs' aren't going to cut it during a war against militant Muslims at Christmastime.

If any Freepers know of other stores with objectionable website content or store policies (i.e. not supporting the Boy Scouts or Salvation Army - or hiring Martin Sheen as a spokesman (boycott Ireland (^:), please share.

Here is a copy of my message to Lands End:

Rob Reiner is a very poor choice to represent the values that Christmas represent. He is an avid radical leftist socialist who supports policies that will hurt, not help families. I don't think you know your market as well as you think. Lands End has been a first choice for our family for years...and I live 15 minutes from LLBean. I hope you reconsider your choice and make less divisive, less political choices in the future for your spokesmen.

I just told them to stop all catalogues and that I would no longer purchase from them.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thank you, e.r.! Hopefully we can send a few former Lands' End customers to LL Bean this year. (^:

I'm glad to know that about LLBean. I prefer their clothes for myself, but I've been dressing my daughter in Lands End all her life. No more!

Land's End is also a sponsor of leftist Garrison Keillor's Prarie Home Companion show on NPR.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Tom Daschle was all wrong about talk radio. The Dems. assume we don't think for ourselves. Lands' End is making a political statement by choosing Rob Reiner. We are making a free market choice not to support their business...just as we choose by our votes, our time and our $$$ not to support Daschle, Donahue and Al Gore.

Thanks for the heads-up. They've just lost my business.

Ditto. (click)

[RAT Patrol]

I'm glad to know this because I order from Land's End a lot. Too bad. Oh well. Eddie Bauer will be happy to get my next order.

[mlmr]

LL Bean is just as anti Christmas as all the major leftist organizations. Where did you ever get the idea that they are pro life?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Land's End is also a sponsor of leftist Garrison Keillor's Prarie Home Companion show on NPR.

Thanks for that info. Garrison Keillor's on his nationwide book tour. New Jersey Freepers: Next reading — Sunday, Dec. 1, at Bookends bookstore on East Ridgewood Avenue in Ridgewood, N.J. (1 p.m.). Link.

I sent them an email letting them know how I feel about the Meathead. Needless to say, they wont be getting a dime of my money.

I dont know if LL Bean is more conservative politically or not, but they do have better clothes.

[RichInOC]

Ease up on Lands' End, okay? They were looking to save money on costume rental, that's all. Fathead doesn't need padding to play Santa.

[RichInOC]

...hee, hee, hee...
