Will you join the NBC boycott and write your Representatives asking for GE to lose defense contracts?

Question

How can they ban a commercial asking people to remember the troops on the holidays?!?!

And before you Libs write about how they are a private company and can do whatever they want, we know that, we are just asking people to exercise their own right to do the same thing.

Answer 1

Somehow I don't see them saying NO to moveon.org, or anything related to Hillary.

Answer 2

I did some research on this because I had never heard of it. The information I found talked about how NBC would run only a tiny story about the INFACT boycott against GE, which is not surprising since NBC is owned by GE.

But I'm surprised by your comment on liberals! We're almost universally accused of wanting to interfere in private business, not let them be!

As far as the INFACT boycott, it appears to have had quite an effect, since GE is estimated to have lost $60 million dollars in sales from it. But if anything got really bad, this government would just bail them out, Bush's idea of welfare.

Answer 3

In essence they just did our troop’s a big favor; now no military or veteran will ever again take a loan from greedy GE Money Bank or any of their affiliates’. In a round about way they protected this new generation in our military from ever signing any kind of finance “deal” with them even for a vehicle when they return home. It is better than the legislation that caps loan interest rates for Veterans around 32%. 32% interest on a loan (not with a VA approved loan) and that is supposed to be our government supporting and protecting us veterans, go figure?

In a round about way; thanks NBC

This commercial is truly American:

Answer 4

Just another example of the liberals being their own worst enemies every time they attempt to further their little petty agendas it seems to blow up in their face. Keep up the "good" work all you "libs" out there are doing in the world! I and the voice of right and reason will take great delite in watching your self induced implosion.

Answer 5

GE's NBC division is already caving in on the pressure to run the adds.

Answer 6

I guess you answered your own question. THEY ARE A PRIVATE COMPANY AND CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. Not a lib. Just a person who knows enough to be able to use the remote channel changer. Your little spark will mean nothing to them. But go ahead, it is your RIGHT, as you say.

Answer 7

There reasoning lacked reason.

Answer 8

Yep - I never watch their disgusting channel(s) anyway!

Chuck - you are right on!
