American "Family" Association RENEWS FORD BOYCOTT over gay ads
Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 07:38 PM by Bluebear

Rev. Donald "Wildman" Wildmon

Wed Mar 15, 2006
A COALITION of groups that oppose civil rights for gay people is pressing a boycott of the Ford Motor Company, the latest push by religious conservatives to influence how and where companies advertise.

The American Family Association — which has boycotted Target for using the word "holiday" instead of "Christmas" and Procter & Gamble for supporting the repeal of an antidiscrimination ordinance in Cincinnati that excluded gay people — has reinstated a boycott trying to force Ford to stop advertising in publications aimed at gay readers.

Renewal of the boycott is the latest twist in a controversy involving conservative groups, gay rights activists and Ford, which has a long history of working cooperatively with gay rights groups...

"We cannot, and will not, sit by as Ford supports a social agenda aimed at the destruction of the family," the groups wrote in a letter to the chief executive, William Clay Ford Jr.

1. Wildmon . . . have you driven a Ford . . . lately?

You might enjoy the PROBE. Might help you FOCUS. Besides, I heard you were a TAURUS? But why does your face look like the hind quarters of a MUSTANG? Could it be you need to hire an ESCORT? Or do you consider yourself some kind of MAVERICK?

4. I had to edit
I forget the fabulous MAVERICK. My ex had one. The reverse gear didn't work, so we pushed it out of many parking spaces, but it would go forward all day long!

And of course, I had a FALCON, but just couldn't work it in. Three on the tree. Loved that thang.
