FROM RETAILWIRE:
Controversy surrounds Lowe's home improvement chain after pulling ads from the TLC show "All-American Muslim." What should Lowe's have done when first confronted with protests about buying time on the show? What should it do now?      [more...]

MY COMMENTARY:

This story illustrates how narrow-minded and polarized America has become. I find it really scary!

Lowe's should have become intimately aware of all the actions and script of the program. Upon review if they felt it reflected American views; truth, honesty, balanced and freedom-minded opinions, they should feel confident in supporting the program. Then when a faction wants to protest their decision, they can take the moral higher ground defending their action, when the protesters number ten or ten million.

Of course this is only a freedom-loving, card carrying liberal's point of view.
