Ford Boycott Leader: Homosexual Ties Taking Car Company Downhill


By Ed Thomas
July 7, 2006

(AgapePress) - The latest sales figures for Ford Motor Company continue the ongoing story of the company's declining bottom line -- a several-percentage-points drop in sales that the leader of a pro-family group ties in with a boycott and the economy.

Ford says its report for June, released this week, shows the company's total auto sales down 6.9 percent. Car purchases did rise 7.1 percent; however, truck sales dropped 14.5 percent. Don Wildmon, founder and chairman of the American Family Association (AFA), believes one of the things hurting the auto manufacturer's profit margin is the boycott his organization launched against the automaker this year.


Dr. Don Wildmon
AFA initiated the Ford boycott to protest Ford's affiliation with homosexual and liberal causes. Other organizations and individuals have joined in, and Wildmon believes the pro-family consumer protest is progressively hurting the automotive giant. "They've been going downhill at least since we began the boycott," he says, "and their stock continues to fall."

1. What a bunch of BS

All American car makers are down in sales. They refused to see the SUV's coming to an end.

[CanuckAmok]

2. Insight into the NeoChristservative mindset:

Not only the dilusional belief that a handful, even a couple thousand, whackjobs can have any influence in the bottom line of a global corporation the size of Ford, but also the delight they express in "causing" a trend which damages the domestic economy and puts thousands of people out of work.

Fucking "Christians". Fuck them all to death.

[Erika]

3. Don't call AFA Christian. They are much closer to Nazis

who also called themselves Christian. Hitler thought of himself as the ultimate Christian.

[CanuckAmok]

5. Hence "Christian", as opposed to Christian.

But apologies if offense was made.

[Occulus]

21. They call themselves christian,

therefore, christians of all stripes own them.

Want to change my mind? Change the religion so such statements and actions as their aren't even possible. Edit the Bible to remove what allows them them make these statements, and then I'll trust in the determination of christians to get rid of these "christians".

I refuse to draw a distinction any longer: these people are representative of the christian religion and, as I said, christians of all stripes own them.

AFA, FotF, and so on: the modern face of christianity.

4. self-delete

((sorry, that was crude...withdrawn))

6. Yes. Timothy McVeigh adopted Hitler's beliefs.

Hate and destroy anyone who isn't white, Christian, and straight. Purify the human race.

Straight out of the far right wing base who voted GOP.
And their theocratic legislative play book.

7. See what Ford sponsored (offensive to them)

8. Of course he's going to take credit for the...

sales drop.

Propaganda 101-- always take credit for anything that goes your way, whether you actually had anything to do with it or not.

Then you got bragging rights, free publicity, and more donations donations and funding.

9. AgapePress...ah yes, the newspaper of record!!!!!

For me to POOP on!!!!

[Maat]

18. Roger that.

But fun to read for a laugh - before you poop on it (it also makes a great kittybox liner)!

[MercutioATC]

10. Fundies are making Ford design shit cars??

...that's the reason for their sales figures. Ford designs shit cars.

That would probably be O.K. if it designed shit cars that had appeal in today's market. Unfortunately, U.S. automakers never seemed to realize that the "We know what you need...buy this car" days ended a long time ago.


...or, maybe it's the gaaaayyyyyyys...

:eyes:

11. OH, BUBBALA, NO!

It's the fact that Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and VW make a better product and the SUV revolution may be at a stall what with gas the price of Dom Perignon these days. Perhaps a hybrid might help bolster sales?

But thanks for blaming it on us just the same. It's great being your new N*****.

:hi:

12. Ford Actually Makes a Hybrid SUV

It's a bit smaller than the Explorer and burns about half as much gas.

[pepperbear]

13. thanks for the heads up. I should've known that.

I wonder how it's selling?

[AndyTiedye]

14. Ford Hasn't Done a Very Good Job of Marketing It

When it came out, it was the only hybrid actually being built
in the USA, using union labor and all that. I think it still is.

It actually gets better mileage than the Toyota SUV hybrids,
It also pollutes less, earning an SULEV rating. It does not
get good enough mileage to qualify for a California carpool sticker.
None of the SUV hybrids do.

I traded a Toyota RAV4 for the Escape Hybrid. This got me a
bigger, more comfortable vehicle that nonetheless gets much
better gas mileage.

I do need some sort of 4-wheel-drive vehicle, and the Escape
Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient available here.

Last time I looked, they were getting the same kind of dealer
incentives as other SUVs (read big discounts) because SUVs of
any sort aren't selling very well.

15. By slicing the market share of some big corporations.. it is a threat.

A win, win for the * White House. Ford either plays ball and re-inforces anti-gay this and that.. which suppresses the Christian centrists churches from real activism during globalist expansion..or if Ford refuses to be ignorant and stupid and abusive.. there is room there for some business to step in and take up the part of the market share Ford is loosing.

Full out creepy. And I hope the corporate leaders are getting that. And act as adults to stem the tide of neoconism with fewer GOP donations. Though.. being corporations.. I think they fund both sides.

Were regulations on seat belts and the like really so awful..when compared to this tribalism?

[sakabatou]

16. Bullshit.

It's the cars that the company is making. That's what's bringing Ford down. It's the almost like the 1980s, with the smaller, Japanese and European cars dominating the US market (I think that's what happened).

[NMMNG]

17. What a crock

First of all, Ford isn't the only car that markets to gays. Second, Ford sucks. Third, car sales in general aren't doing great. Therefore their argument is BS.

[FuzzyDicePHL]

19. You'd never know it

by all the Bubbas in their jacked-up F150s in my neck of the woods. Got 'em all prettied up with Harley stickers & yellow ribbons, too (clearly better decorators than me).

I love sitting behind them at stoplights thinking, "Thanks for supporting the Gay Games, Cletus!"

[smtpgirl]

20. Ford, GM & Chrysler are going down hill

because they keep making those behemoth gas sucking pieces of shit

[Ian David]

22. Toyota is even MORE gay than Ford, and they're doing just fine.

In fact, Toyota is so gay, that I just caught my Toyota Prius cruising rest-stops all by itself, and it came home with that yellow Hummer paint on its tailpipe.

Apparently, my Prius is a twinkie little bottom into big Bear-types. Who knew?
