Ford pulls LR/Jag GLBT support due to American Family threat

I just read a interesting article in the WSJ that I wanted to post here regarding the AFA boycott. The boycotting idea is spreading. I can't believe corporations are running scared from them:

With Ford out of the way, the AFA has now set its sights on Target Corp. The group attacked Target last year for banning Salvation Army fund-raisers from its stores. But it launched a new boycott just two weeks ago, attacking Target as well for declining to use the word "Christmas" in any of its promotions. (Meanwhile, a separate group, Focus on the Family, says it has closed all of its accounts at Wells Fargo & Co. because the bank contributed to a gay-rights group.)

Target is taking a different strategy than Ford, refusing to deal with the AFA. It says it doesn't allow anyone to make solicitations in its stores -- the Salvation Army included. And it says its holiday merchandise includes "Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa merchandise, along with Thanksgiving, New Year and other winter-related items." Tim Wildmon, president of the AFA and son of the group's chairman, calls that statement "political correctness run amok."
