Ford calls AFA a liar (re: AFA homobigot boycott claims to hurt sales)

[BR_Parkway]

An antigay-rights group spearheading a 1-year boycott against Ford Motor Co. claims its efforts have led to a drop in Ford sales and that the carmaker has mustered its regional managers to a meeting to discuss its defense.

Ford says the American Family Association's claims regarding sales and managers are false. The company says its advertising in gay media trails that of several other automakers.

But Ford spokesman Jim Cain said the claims about the meeting and the boycott's effect on Ford's sales were not true.

"If the Ninth Commandment (against bearing false witness) applied to this boycott, this debate would be very different," Cain said. "There's been a lot of misinformation spread on the Internet. It's caused confusion and concern among some customers, and it's regrettable."

Gotta love that he throws their own bullshit right back at them. Now if our Dem leaders could be so plainly articulate while slapping down the rest of the RW talking points.

1. Nicely said by Jim Cain

Haul out that pesky commandment against bearing false witness and slap these sanctimonious creeps right across the chops with it (metaphorically speaking, of course).

2. "Christians" lying to justify their hate? Who would have thought!

3. Righ Twingers will boycott to get their twisted agenda accomplished.

We on the progressive side should boycott GOP contributors to do well for our country.

But alas our side does not and remains silent and does not call these companies and make demands of them in order to force the GOP in congress to do what appears right in America.

4. Sadly you are right - too many who support the things we do are too

complacent and won't do anything until they've lost what they had.
