The American Family Association has announced they will end their two-year boycott of Ford.
The group, headquarted in Tupelo and led by Don Wildmon, was upset because Ford had published ads in gay magazines and supported organizations, such as the Human Rights Campaign. (Volvo is technically a corporate sponsor of HRC, but it is owned by Ford.)
According to Wildmon, Ford has met enough of their demands to end the boycott. According to Ford, they haven't "met" any demands- they've just had less sales and less money to give out.
While Ford was ignoring the boycott, so was the rest of America, and probably most of the supposed 700K people who signed the petition.
Read about it in the Clarion-Ledger.
I knew these people growing up and they are pimples on the butt of Mississippi. I could tell story after story on their racist, theocratic, anti-gay rhetoric. They make Southern Baptists look like the ACLU.
ReplyDeleteAmen brother. If they are in heaven I don't want to be any where near them.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan even though I love the music.
ReplyDelete"The Mississippi Connection" is rubbish Republican talk. Christian talk would at least be compassionate.
