FU AFA

Conservative groups boycott Ford

Nineteen conservative groups said Monday they would reinstate a boycott of Ford, contending the automaker reneged on an agreement to stop supporting gay rights organizations. The groups set up a website urging supporters not to buy Ford vehicles after the automaker said last December it would continue running advertisements in gay publications. The American Family Association, which is leading this latest effort, had originally called for a boycott of Ford last year but suspended it for six months at the request of some Ford dealers. "Ford has the right to financially support homosexual groups promoting homosexual marriage, but at the same time consumers have a right not to purchase automobiles made by Ford,'' said AFA chairman Donald Wildmon in a statement. Ford, in a statement, said it was ``proud of its tradition of treating all with respect and we remain focused on what we do best, building and selling the most innovative cars and trucks worldwide.''

First they boycott, then they stop. Then they start again. If the AFA wasn't so blatantly anti-everything, it would almost be funny. Ford knows the value of the pink buck and attempt to market as such, but really, what bona-fide card carrying homo would be caught dead driving a Ford anything anyways? Hello? We're talking the biggest status sheeple ever known here! I mean, really....
