Mississippi-based family association doesn't want you to shop at Target:From this story: (emp add) Groups Threaten to Boycott American Girl
NEW YORK - American Girl, manufacturer of a highly popular line of dolls and children's books, has become the target of conservative activists threatening a boycott unless the toy maker cuts off contributions to a youth organization that supports abortion rights and acceptance of lesbians.
The Mississippi-based American Family Association, in a campaign launched Wednesday, is urging its members to demand that American Girl halt support for Girls Inc., which it called "a pro-abortion, pro-lesbian advocacy group." What's the American Family Association concerned about? From their website: Be Informed...
Target Continues Ban on Salvation Army, Adds Sex-Toy-Related Products
American Girl teams with pro-abortion, pro-lesbian group Hey, that item about Target stores looks interesting. Let's see what the AFA has to say about it: (emp original) Target Continues Ban on Salvation Army, Adds Sex-Toy-Related Products
This letter will be sent to Target:
Dear Chairman,
I am disappointed that your company continues to ban the Salvation Army from Target stores. I am also disappointed that Target has begun selling the 'Elexa by Trojan' line of sex products.
Because of these actions, I will be making a conscious effort to not shop at Target, especially during this Christmas season.
[Form for submitting letter to Target]
While Target contributes to homosexual groups, the company publicly states that they will not contribute to any religious groups. For Target, homosexual organizations are worthy of financial support, Christian and Jewish organizations are not.
Further showing their true colors, WTOP Radio Network in Washington, DC, reports that Target has begun stocking sex-toy-related products. "Formerly the domain of sex shops, such products have been brought out of the shadows by popular television shows like 'Sex and the City,'" WTOP reported.
Elexa by Trojan spokeswoman Cassandra Johnson says the products will be "discreetly packaged and sold in the feminine care aisle." Although not directly selling the "vibrator ring," Target is selling creams, gels, and stimulants associated with it. Click Here to see the product list website. About that "vibrator ring". The Mississippi-based AFA needen't worry about it being sold at Target anytime soon (if ever). Here is a screenshot from the Elexa webpage for the item: (yellow highlight added) The Vibrating ring is not available in Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Thank goodnes for that!

According to the excellent site BuyBlue.org, Target is a Republican-leaning company.
Is the religious right just feeding on its own these days?
BTW, the Target/Salvation Army thing isn't what right-wingers claim it is (of course). What's actually happened is that Target, which has always banned solicitations at its stores but made an exception for the Salvation Army, revoked that exception in 2004. So now no solicitation at all is allowed at Target stores.
And the sex toy thing isn't true either.
Goddamn, when will these troglodyte religious thugs get it through their twisted little brains that they don't control the universe? Hell, they can't even control their own worst impulses to mess in other people's bidness. Why should we pay any attention to their twisted, hate-filled "Christian" lies?
This topic has gernerated a lot of buzz.
You mean I'm going to have to drive to Florida to get one of these?
"Thank goodnes for that!"
LOL!!! So funny...
