do you think people should boycott lowe s? i m not sure because then it shifts it. what we need to do is have people begin to think about this whole thing. look at the show and see these people. these are people in my community. i know all of them. some i know tans gently, some i know very well. they re people in the community. look at them. this is what the group is afraid of. this is what people don t want. they re afraid if people actually see what real american muslims look like, how they re going they behave, they re going to say, they re just like people in my community and down the street from me. the fear that drives the hate will be dissipated. that s what they re afraid of. all these people who want us to hate people because they have an agenda don t want people to see them behaving in normal ways. do you think david caten is a hate merchant? i think so. he s one of many and makes money on it. one of the fundamental things
so here s my message for the folks at lowe s who made the decision, frankly anyone out there of sound mind considering getting behind the growing anti-muslim bias. you re better than this. you know the history of this country and of this world never, ever looks kindly on this kind of marginalization you endorsed with your actions. whether it was against irish-americans or jewish-americans or african-americans, the historybooks make sure this exclusionary politics becomes a stain on the reputation of anyone who takes part in it. that was congressman chris murray calling out home improvement retail chain lowe s on the house floor today? . why? the company pulled its ads from a show called all american muslim, the reality show airing on tlc. it follows five muslim families living in dearborn, michigan. take a look. the city of dearborn, michigan. dearborn is a whole other world.
they say, okay, so now forget all the bad things i ve done and make me the most powerful man in the world, thank you. i think we ve got to get past this and not allow the gop to exploit our people. i hope pastors are listening to your show and listening to me on these radio shows i ve been doing all day. we ve got to get a noble, honest, trustworthy person to go up against barack obama. sometimes a mainstream media has a hard time talking about faith because they think it turns people off. i think it s a phenomenal political story. and i m not quite sure that how could the polls nationally show newt gingrich doing so well, with him struggling in iowa? i mean obviously the faith vote out there has got to do something. nationally he s at 40%, romney at 23%. for lack of a better term, you re ready to throw both the top front-runners under the bus and leaves you with ron paul, michele bachmann and rick santorum. do they have a solid chance despite the national polling, in your opinion?
not elvis has already left the building. if you think about it, if they start right now trying to enjoin a lot of these laws, it s very difficult. when you consider the federal courts are packed, absolutely packed with republican appointees. so the timetable here, mike, what i m hearing is this is going to have to be really a big-time priority by the justice department to have it effect 2012. ed, that s exactly right. you re going to have to staff up. it s going to have to be a priority that look, you re going to have federal judges that can do all types of things, that owe the republican party something. now, you don t usually hear an attorney say that, but to ignore the fact that republican judges are part of the agenda here, i promise you they are, and if a republican judge gets a case like this, they simply put it off. they delay it. they have hearings. they have discovery. there s all types of ways they can delay coming up with the decision before 2012. that s the problem. t
waited too long. he was told early on that this was a problem. it was a pattern that started developing in texas. do you think he was slow to the punch? i think he was slow to the punch. i think he was slow to the punch. the problem is this. you have a concerted effort that started with 30 republican governors elected and they re on the same sheet of music. that s the key. they re working in unison on this. mike papantonio. i appreciate it. next up, the fallout continues over lowe s pulling ads from the show all american muslim. the mayor of dearborn, michigan, jack o reilly will join me in a moment. the protester is named time magazine s person of the year. jesse lagreca will take a victory lap on this one. everyone believes in keeping their promises once a year. but we believe in helping people take steps to keep them every single day.
