Remember this?
The One Million Moms organization, an extension of the American Family Association, called on members to urge the company to rethink their decision. “Funny that J.C. Penney thinks hiring an open homosexual spokesperson will help their business when most of their customers are traditional families,” reads the call to action on the group’s website. “The majority of J.C. Penney shoppers will be offended and choose to no longer shop there.”
Yeah, so do I. So the next time someone tells me that I'm a godless commie pinko socialist fuckstick for thinking there's something wrong with helping put money into the coffers of a business which uses its profits to fund hate groups--in Chik-Fil-A's case, groups which advocate hatred against our GLBT Americans--I'm going to ask them how that JC Penney boycott is going.
Oh wait, it just must be going GREAT!
(....) J.C. Penney (...) has been less blessed as consumers and investors roundly trounced its turnaround effort this week.
I'm sure a lot of things factor into that, other than boycotts, though I'm sure our friends on the Insane Capitalist-Run-Amok side are taking all the credit for that. So, gay-bashers, pat yourselves on the back for being responsible for JC Penney's profits tanking all you want. Just remember that the boycott of Chik-Fil-A is the same fucking thing. And I'm pretty sure I never accused you of stifling free speech when you had your little hissy-fit over Ellen Degeneres. Although now, I am seriously tempted to just tell you to shut up about it, period, if you persist in overlooking your own hypocrisy.
