In case anyone is hedging on going after Ford and the AFA
Americablog.com offers some tasty historical quotes from the American Family Association's archives of hate. I suggest people take a few minutes to ponder just how deep and evil these people are, particularly since they are among the leading supporters of the "War on Christmas" ruse and have boycotted programming and advertisers for hundreds of programs and policies over the years.

No matter who you are, it is everyone's duty to take a stand against the demands to dictate religious belief by these "christian" supremacist cults.

A couple of examples before I provide the link:

"In the March issue of American Family Association Journal, a publication of Donald E. Wildmon's right-wing evangelical activist group, the American Family Association (AFA), author Randall Murphree suggested that a Jewish upbringing leads to hatred of Christians, and by extension, a criminal lifestyle."


"The AFA Journal has long served as a platform for anti-Semitic theories and innuendo. For instance, Wildmon warned of Jewish control over popular culture, an old anti-Semitic canard, in a January 1989 article, "What Hollywood Believes and Wants." "The television elite are highly secular," Wildmon wrote. "The majority (59 percent) in the Jewish faith." In a separate article in the same issue, titled "Anti-Semitism Called a Serious Problem," Wildmon, a longtime opponent of gay rights, pointedly remarked that "Jews favor homosexual rights more than other Americans."

This "War on Christmas" sounds more like another battle in the "War on America" that these supremacist groups have been waging for some time. When they force a large corporation to fly down to their Tupelo, Mississippi dungeons to engage in "dialogue" about their "concerns," it is apparent that this isn't about a pesky little hate organization any longer. We either choose to stand up to this crap or willingly take one more step toward losing our nation forever.

Call your Ford dealer and the Ford corporate headquarters and let them know what you think.

1. Many of my friends regard the "War on Christmas" --
-- about the same as "Freedom fries." I love your choice of the term 'ruse' for this uproar by the Far Right. It's perfect.

I have already contacted Ford and told them in essence that they were a bunch of pussies. I used the slang noun 'pussies,' not because I was unable to rephrase the thought but because I felt that was the best word.

Totally agree with you about the hate and danger of AFA.

2. Thank you.
And I strongly believe that it is time to stop playing defense about this crap - organizations like this need to be completely exposed as the unpatriotic "christian" supremacist group they are. I think once this Ford situation is over, there will be a very large uprising of activism to go to the root of this crap once and for all.

This is America. We are not a christian supremacist nation. And the 700 Club, James Dobson and Don Wildmon have not been appointed by the people of this country to interpret my religious and moral beliefs.

He was given a medal from the Nazi's.
