jetBlue Sponsors DailyKOS
16 July 2007I’ve been a fan of jetBlue for some time. They’ve driven the cost of commercial air travel down and that’s a good thing. Like Wal-Mart, they’ve been a huge benefit to consumers. But all that has changed for me now.
It seems that jetBlue is a sponsor of the yearly KOS convention. You know, the web site that promotes views like the world would be better off without Tony Snow when he came up with cancer again. Or how about promoting the idea that radical Islamic fascists have a right to attack US forces? Or the Pope is a primate? Or “better luck next time” when there was an assassination attempt on Vice President Dick Cheney?
jetBlue has had its problems and last year it nearly went belly up. Still, I supported them because they benefited consumers. Now, the new CEO has decided that the way to promote his airline is to get in bed with radical leftist web sites. I think they’ve made a huge mistake.
Ford Motor Company has been sinking for over a year because of a boycott sponsored by the American Family Association due to Ford’s sponsorships of gay events. But Ford is big enough to take it for a while. JetBlue isn’t. I can tell you that I will fly ANY airline except jetBlue. There is no chance at all that I will spend my hard earned money with a company that actively supports such extremism. And I think lots of other people will agree with me and vote with their wallets.
I’m not the sort to go after someone because they don’t agree with my views. I’m a fan of Google, even though Google is clearly run by liberals. But there is a line between holding differing opinions and promoting hate of the sort that DailyKos spews every day. The DailyKos may be a very successful web site but that doesn’t change the fact that they are sickos who want to see America destroyed. They don’t just hold a different opinion. They want all those who disagree with them to die! And they aren’t shy about saying so! I don’t care how broad the exposure is, I could never ethically justify sponsoring such a web site just to advertise my product or company. jetBlue clearly thinks it’s okay. What do you think?
UPDATE:
Thanks to Jenn Sierra for tipping me to this update on billoreilly.com. It seems that jetBlue has changed its position. According to the article, jetBlue has a long history of supporting the troops.
So it appears that there is a happy ending to this one. jetBlue has seem the error of its ways. I suspect that the sponsorship was the result of a lack of knowledge of what the DailyKos actually is. Now they know!
