AFA lauds its boycott of Ford for its pro-gay policies as reasons for auto sales drop
:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:


Boycott update: Ford sales drop 9.5 % in October

(Tupelo, MS) - TUPELO, MS—American Family Association (AFA) says its boycott of Ford Motor Company continues to be effective. Ford sales in October 2007 were 9.5% less than in October 2006. Ford sales have dropped in 18 of the last 20 months since the boycott began. AFA began the boycott in March 2006 when the company reneged on a pledge to stop supporting homosexual organizations and same-sex marriage.

American Family Association is a pro-family advocacy organization with over two million online supporters.

1. Oh yeah, I'm sure it's that and not the overall economy, or gas prices,
or anything along those lines. Much more likely that their boycott is bringing Ford to its knees. :crazy:

2. What's stupider?
The way they hate gay people, or the way they rejoice in people losing money?

:puke:

F*ck the AFA.

3. What about the families that depend on Ford for income?
I guess they don't give a fuck about those families. :eyes:
