4 Dec 2005. Ford apparently caves in to a threatened boycott by the American Family Association (that's Donald Wildmon), pulling ads from gay-market publicatons like the Advocate. John from AmericaBlog is all over this like I'd like to be all over Reese Witherspoon.
He starts slapping the Ford Motor Company around and basically making them his bitch, and I write:
You longtime readers of my old blog may remember last April, when another major American corporation got John's dander up.
It took John just over a month to force that corporation to its knees. They reversed their position of abandoning gays and terminated the employment of Christian Coalition, "pro-life" homophobe Ralph Reed.
And that was Microsoft.
14 Dec 2005. John blogs:
Regarding that Ford thing? We just won.
The Ford Motor Company today released [a] letter...clarifying that whatever did or did not happen behind closed doors with the American Family Association (AFA) two weeks ago, the company is NOT backing off of its support for the gay community or gay advertising (in contrast to what was reported over the past two weeks).
10 days, and...boom.
