Liberal groups try to exploit backlash against Target for helping anti-gay marriage candidate
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Protestors have been rallying outside Target Corp. or its stores almost daily since the retailer angered gay rights supporters and progressives by giving money to help a conservative Republican gubernatorial candidate in Minnesota. Liberal groups are pushing to make an example of the company, hoping its woes will deter other businesses from putting their corporate funds into elections.
A national gay rights group is negotiating with Target officials, demanding that the firm balance the scale by making comparable donations to benefit candidates it favors. Meanwhile, the controversy is threatening to complicate Target's business plans in other urban markets.

Wouldn’t that defeat the purpose?
Target chose to make donations to the PRO-BUSINESS, FREE MARKET candidate and these queers have to make it about them.
They hypocracy of this is astounding. This campaign is sponsored by MoveOn.Org, which is Soros funded. These people have no problem with Soros using his vast wealth to influence elections and issues. But let a corporate entity like Target do it and all hell breaks loose.
I have a Leftwing Moonbat “friend” who is all wound up about this. When I ask him why its wrong for Target to do it, but not Soros, his response is that Soros is an actual person. Go figure.
"The Homo store - You know what WE target."
The homo population is so small, they can easily be ignored by stores and industry. Just say "no." The nation, who has spoken out against the homos numerous times, will support those stores and industries that do.
Ford is a good example of a company that stood it's ground. Because it didn't cave to PC pressure, It became the leading car manufacturer in the country. Any store that says "no homo" will be a national best seller overnight! People will go miles out of their way to shop there. It'll be the best marketing ploy they've ever had, and it wouldn't have cost them a cent.
What makes this so sickening is the fact that homos are less than 2% of the nation - and half of them are only homos because they don't have a choice - they're in prison.
Why give these freaks anything at all? Just tell them to get lost. The other 98% of the population would applaud.
I think this country has had just about as much homo as they're going to take. No one has anything good to say about them anymore. They used to get tolerance, but that has worn so thin it no longer exists.
"Go No Homo."
Just tell them "No."
Target is an organization, just like every union in the country
These sexual deviant Nazis and their friends in the liberal "media" are so childish. "We have more "friends" than you do! Na na na na na naaaa!"

Where is the “I will NOT Boycott Target for supporting a Conservative candidate, but I WILL boycott Target if they give into these liberal activists” page?
