Extremists That Lose

They will wail. Oh, and they will howl. They may even boycott Ford Motor Company after all. But in the end, they lost because American businesses know that the bigotry, hate, and lies peddled by the American Family Association are bad for business. And when they forget, like Microsoft did before them, we’re here – their customers and employees – to remind them.

That’s right. Ford has rescinded their agreement with the AFA. On every single point. Every one.

You may commence consideration of a Ford Motor Company brand for your next automobile purchase. In fact, if you wrote your local dealership a letter telling them you were disgusted by their headquarters’ decision last week, you might send them another to let them know you’ve changed your mind. Just like they did.

Because fairness should be rewarded. And forgiveness, as they say, is divine.

But to the AFA and their ilk, I say: You're fighting for the wrong things. You will continue to lose, over and over again, and become more and more marginalized. You will lose because you're trying to hurt people, and we were all told as children that trying to hurt people is wrong. No one likes a playground meany.
