An Open Letter to Corporate Communications at JetBlue

Over the past couple of days there has been considerable attention to whether or not JetBlue is remaining a sponsor of the YearlyKos convention in Chicago.

The site DailyKos has an entry up entitled, "JetBlue caved" which says "Okay, so JetBlue, after deciding to resist Bill O'Reilly's pressure last night, just decided to back down." It goes on to add an update, "JetBlue wants me to note that they didn't pull the tickets they donated to the event. So the sponsorship remains, but they are too afraid to let anyone know that they donated those tickets."

Over on MyDD is an entry posting a letter attributed to Dave Barger which states "JetBlue will have no presence at the conference or any other involvement with the YearlyKos event."

Does JetBlue consider itself and wish to be considered as a sponsor of YearlyKos?

The letter goes on to say that "I personally have never condoned and abhor anything hateful towards anyone and am fully confident that JetBlue's crewmembers share this view."

Does Mr. Barber or JetBlue consider Hillary Clinton 'hateful' for her petition asking people to tell Bill O'Reilly to stop smearing Grassroots Progressives?

Does Mr. Barber or JetBlue consider Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, John Edwards, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd, Bill Richardson, Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, Sen. Jon Tester, Reps. Rahm Emanuel, Paul Hodes, Lynn Woolsey, Mike Panetta, Tim Walz, Steve Kagen and Gen. Wesley Clark 'hateful'?

Does Mr. Barber or JetBlue consider the Democratic Party to be 'hateful'?

Many people consider Fox News to be hateful. Will JetBlue be consistent and pull all its advertising from Fox News?

Clarifications about JetBlue's view would be greatly appreciated.
