Dear Jet Blue:
Jet Blue's capitulates to TV bully Bill O'Reilly's right-wing propaganda and smears, by pulling out of the Daily Kos Convention, yet Jet Blue still advertises on Fox News; the same Fox News that employs Ann Coulter as a polemic pundit. A quick sample of what Jet Blue got for its money by advertising on Fox News:
ANN COULTER QUOTES
- "Liberals hate America, they hate flag-wavers, they hate abortion opponents, they hate all religions except Islam, post 9/11. Even Islamic terrorists don't hate America like Liberals do. They don't have the energy. If they had that much energy, they'd have indoor plumbing by now."
- "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war."
- "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building"
- "Why not go to war just for oil? We need oil. What do Hollywood celebrities imagine fuels their private jets? How do they think their cocaine is delivered to them?"
Jet Blue's advertising dollars to Fox News supports Anne Coulter who not only exudes hate but also, endorses the audacious killing of other human beings, including foreign leaders, and is paid handsomely for it. She openly suggests violent, hegemonic war for oil, killing people and forced religious indoctrination, sanctions the actions of home-grown terrorists, like Timothy McVeigh, and who he "should" have targeted.
The backing of people, like Anne Coulter, who openly make wild, disingenuous claims by stating that "liberals hate America", is the worst kind of duplicity and the finest example of corporate hypocrisy shilling for the right's media stranglehold on America.
Jet Blue will NEVER receive my business or support again!
