AFA caught lying about Ford

[BigBadWlf]

the American Family Association declared victory in its boycott of Ford motor company. The boycott was called after Ford reneged on an agreement with American Family Association to stop funding homosexual groups which promote homosexual marriage. The AFA is claiming that hit achieved the “victory” in negotiations with the highest level of Ford Executives.

Ford seems to have other ideas about the “victory” A statement from James Cain Ford spokesperson paints a different picture:
Cain writes: “…there was not a negotiated settlement to this boycott. While Ford has scaled back some of the marketing and philanthropy AFA objects to, any such decreases were merely part of a broader retrenchment in response to dismal market conditions. We have been in real financial difficulties. There’s been reduced spending in many areas including significant cuts in advertising and promotional activities. … Ford continues to be involved with groups such as PFLAG and Human Rights Campaign, both of which agitate for gay marriage.”

The AFA – lying for Jesus

 

[Feminition]

They are disgusting; nothing more.

 

[BigBadWlf]

the AFA has a long history of lying for Jesus. Last year they attacked several propionate New York hotels for replacing the ubiquitous Gideon Bible with something the AFA called a “sex kit”.

Turns out this kit was the guests choice of a gourmet mini-bar, an iPod, a flat-screen TV, or the company of a complimentary pet goldfish.

 

[FaithLikeARock]

Those evil goldfish.

That's all right. Their latest squawking over McDonald's will divert attention from their false witness over the Ford fiasco.

Roflmao.
Maybe the mini bar had alcohol, the TV was equipped with porn, the i-pod full of Barry White, and the goldfish... well i'll have to go with FaithLikeARock and say the goldfish was evil!

I think that it was the AFA that claimed to be successful in getting Will and Grace Cancelled (after 7 seasons, the last which started to drop in the ratings.)

I'm not surprised. This is when they kind of shrug and say, "We aren't perfect - just forgiven."

The AFA is trying. Ford has lost business and Will and Grace is gone. Correlation?

Can anyone name one mainstream business that has embraced homosexual marriage and gotten more business for taking that stand?

None of this craziness extends out of the USA, does it??

Probably not.

Outside of the US I don't think many major companies are dumb enough to put their name on the homosexual agenda.

Every tech company on earth?

*sigh* There is no such thing as a gay agenda.
These companies are not "putting their name on the homosexual agenda", they are supporting human rights.
Ooh, supporting the equality of all people. How evil.

 

[Allegory]

Probably not.

Oh, okay: 2008 Gay Pride Festival Toronto Sponsors

You may not have heard of the first company on the list, but I hear they're getting bigger in the U.S. It also appears that they may have slightly altered their logo for the festival.

Thanks for the link, now I know who to give my business to! I've always wanted to attend the festivities in T.O.

You misunderstood.........I meant this AFA group.

Oh yes, i can really see how Virgin is suffering by supporting gay rights.

Best Buy is one good example, they are growing while their closest competitor, Circuit City, who does not have policies for homosexuals is in financial trouble -- in 2006 Circuit City shares sold at $31/share but on 1 July the price was down to $2.55/share.

 

[Autumnleaf]

It seems like many companies do support this. I wonder if the AFA will continue to go after the big ones.

 

[Caylin]

Only if they think it will get them press.

Hmm, to me it just looks like Ford execs are terrified of being sued by the HRC.

Who can blame them.

I know of a couple of photographers that won't. And, thousands of parents in California too.
