Campbell's Soup pledges more 'gay' ads ('2 mommies' spread only 1st in marketing agenda)

Despite being pressured by traditional family advocates to stop, Campbell's Soup Company, maker of Swanson's brand broth, has vowed to continue spending its advertising dollars in pro-homosexual publications.

As WND reported earlier, the American Family Association objected to a Swanson's broth magazine ad that depicts a lesbian couple and their son. The ad was placed in the December 2008 and January 2009 issues of The Advocate, a magazine that touts itself with the line, "For 40 years, setting the standard in LGBT journalism."

Campbell's Soup, however, has brushed off the AFA's complaint.

MediaDailyNews quoted a company spokesperson explaining, "Inclusion and diversity play an important role in our business, and that fact is reflected in our marketing plan."

According to a Campbell's representative, "Our plans for the Swanson brand include additional placements in The Advocate."

I don’t know if it doesn’t care or he has been told not to say anything about it which if the latter is pathetic by him.

I have to think both he, Rush, and others have been told not to say anything about their(the homos) agenda.

Does anyone remember the Philly 7? They tried to hand out Christian fliers at a gay pride parade near Philly. The cops arrested them and they were close to getting felony charges against them. I got on with Rush's call screener and he said "Rush doesn't think his audience cares about this issue". His audience doesn't care about someone's free-speech being violated by sodomites?????

Something similar years later with Hannity's screener, but she said "There's an election coming up and we can't talk about it" and then rudely hung up. Pathetic.

LOL on the title -— I think it’s a great one and I’m one of the ones that gets beat up around here because I am a bit more tolerant than others.

Thankfully, I have reviewed the lists of products and am able to do very nicely without them. I even got rid of any “storage” soups, put away for a rainy day, that were cambell’s.

ANY product that advertises specifically to any perverted cause will have no place on my grocery list or my cabinets.

I hope they stand neutral!! Maybe someone could find out. I have looked and I see nothing, but I would go by one persons search alone.

I like making my own soups too.

About the only time I’ve used canned soup is when the cream soups are added to other ingredients for a casserole or some other recipe, but it won’t be too much trouble to make them from scratch, especially using boullion, if I’m short on time.

Sounds like Ford's statement. I wonder if Cambell’s has thought to ask Ford how it was working for them??

Not good PR to promote Deviant behavior, legal or otherwise. You end up offending the very people who's business you cannot make it without!

I did the same but I will find ways around it. I used cream of mushroom soup in my ham, cheese, potato casserole. Now I will just add some milk & chop up some mushrooms. If there is a will then there is a way....

The garbage they put into most those products is as destructive to your physical health as are the ideas these degenerates are pushing to your moral well-being.

Avoid both like the plague!

I regularly make what I call “Everything Soup” which contains every vegetable in the house, some sea salt, whatever leftover meat is lying around and plenty of good healthy herbs and spices, etc.

And it’ll cure what ails ya!

...It’s time the normal public started telling these activists and activist companies right where to go. I’ll be doing so with my purchasing dollars.

Works for me. I regret my purchases today. Hope that 2% of the population will sustain the company.

Rush makes his belief on the subject known in clear, to the point, language, and then moves on.

The stock script in such cases goes like this:

“May I see your license and registration, please?”
“Officer! I was in the middle of that group of cars! We were all going the same speed! Why me?”
“Thanks.” (taking documents)
“Oh come on! You only pulled me over because I am from out of state! This is such BU. . . .”
“Hey! Do you fish?” (This almost ALWAYS throws the driver off his game.)
“Huhwhaaaaa . . . huh?”
“Do you fish?”
“Yes, BUT. . . .”
“When you go fishing, do you catch all the fish?”
“Huhwhaaahhhhuhhhhhh . . . WHAT?”
“When you go fishing, do you catch all of the fish in the lake or just the ones you catch?”
“Errrrrr . . . I . . . the ones I catch . . . BUT I. . . .”
“Well, I was fishing and I caught you.”
“Grrrr . . . uhhhhh . . . (snarl) . . . you probably think you’re a pretty funny. . . .”
“Ya know, I haven’t decided yet whether you’re big enough for me to keep or small enough that I should let you go. Any thoughts one way or the other?”
“No, sir. I mean, YES, sir. I am 100% for catch and release.”
“See? That’s exactly what I thought you’d say.” (big friendly Trooper smile)

For Christmas I gave 4 qt. Aroma rice cooker/steamer to six family members. It is like a slow cooker, on steroids. It has a timer to cook food such as beans and stew meat at high temperatures and then hold the food at warm indefinitely. Soups such as clam chowder and chicken tortilla are done in an hour. Beef stew and spaghetti sauce are ready in two hours, and chili beans are done to perfection in three hours. Unlike simmering food on top the stove, there is less chance of having the food scorch or stick. By the way I've never actually cooked rice in the Aroma rice cooker. I use a smaller enameled cast iron pot for for cooking rice. Bon Apetite’
