"The AFA stooges simply picked a company they KNEW would have falling sales so they could CLAIM victory."
AFA initiated the boycott in May of '05'. If AFA KNEW what Ford sales would be in March '06', Ford really should HIRE AFA, don't you think?
"This tactic has failed miserably in the past when they've gone after strong companies."
Being involved with AFA, I would be very interested in some examples of these 'miserable failures".

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a company whose sales are falling at rates of 5-7% and who relies on SUVs and pickups for the vast majority of its sales is still going to see falling sales when gas prices are soaring.... The AFA certainly isn't full of geniuses....

That Disney boycott really worked, didn't it? Or how about the boycott of P&G, which really killed its sales. Oh, wait, their sales rose to record levels while you boycotted them. I won't even start on the accuracy of the reports AFA used there....
