Default Re: Conservative group wants to boycott Ford

The WHOLE story here is one that might be far more important for the long term in this country. It has been well covered HERE Ford has been advertising its Jaguar and Land Rover models in predominately gay publications for several years.

A few months ago, the AFA had meetings with Ford executives in Washington DC. Not coincidentally, both of the AFA reps in those meetings were former GWB Adminstration lackeys. The outcome of those meetings was that Ford was going to drop their advertising completely in any gay publications under threat of a boycott organized and backed by the AFA.

After roughly a week of heavy pressure, not just from the gay rights groups, but the CIVIL rights groups, Ford is not only going to continue advertising in the gay publications, but they will continue to buy adspace for ALL of the firm's makes, not just Jaguar and LR, and continue to support the gay community in sponsored events (See Kraft).

There are four or five stories of this similar ilk, From Microsoft to Kraft to Ford over the last year, where the Civil and Gay rights groups carry more weight with these firms and have rejected the bigotry and hate of these so-called 'values' groups.

Bigotry is NOT a family value
Hate is NOT a family value
