WATTERS: On the Daily Kos website, it says attacks against coalition forces in Iraq are legitimate. Does JetBlue subscribe to that kind of thinking?
BARGER: Theres really politics and our business, its not really something that we mix.
WATTERS: Well you guys are sponsoring the Daily Koss convention this summer.
BARGER: Its really not something that we mix from a standpoint of politics. I appreciate your interest in that regard, but its really, theres not alignment.
WATTERS: What about the Pope is a primate, do you agree with that kind of thinking?
BARGER: Same, I mean, its, from a standpoint of running our business, thats what we do from an airline perspective, so theres really not alignment along those lines. I appreciate your interest.
WATTERS: Do you think youre giving legitimacy to this kind of thinking, I mean, theyre saying the world may be better off without Tony Snow, when Tony Snow had a cancer relapse?
BARGER: Its, Im really not going to mix politics from the standpoint of running our business.
WATTERS: But arent you guys kind of mixing politics by, you know, sponsoring this convention.
BARGER: Its I can see where youre trying to go with it, but Im just not going to, you know, to respond to that here at this point in time.
WATTERS: What about people who enlisted in the military after 9/11 were sheep.?
BARGER: Listen, I think its real clear that were a significant player in this country, in this city, in this community, and Im not sure what your agenda is this morning
WATTERS: I mean, do you think that your JetBlue customers want to know that youre kind of subscribing to the belief that Iran has the right to attack Israel, I mean, these are the kind of things theyre saying on this website.
BARGER: Ill just close by saying this. I think our customers are, well treat them with dignity and respect, theyre very smart, theyll draw their own conclusions, whether its watching your news show, whether its watching our in-flight television, theyre pretty smart people. Theyll draw their own conclusion.
WATTERS: How about Cheney enjoys killing?
