In my ongoing expose , I present the latest in the Theater of the Absurd that is the AFA's mailing list. This time, the claim that Ford Motor Co. is going down for the count due to the overwhelming influence of the AFA.
No mention of gas prices!
This is fresh off my email. First, the amazing claim:
Ford sales collapse again - boycott a driving force
Simply put, people are not buying Fords.
Ford Motor Company continues to suffer monthly sales losses because of its support of homosexuality.
For August, Ford reported a 14.4% drop in sales over the same month last year.
Rather than taking a neutral position in the culture war, Ford uses its profits to support gay activist groups, whose top agenda is to push pro-homosexual marriage and "gay" hate crimes laws on the rest of the nation.
The first thing that jumps out at me here is the weaselly phrase "rather than taking a neutral position," which is jerk-off weasel-speak for "rather than letting special interest groups like the AFA dominate the conversation," or "rather than keeping their big, important voices out of the cultural conversation."
What gets the AFA in a bind about this is that someone other than themselves who has a platform upon which to speak has chosen to express an opinion regarding homosexuality. I'd like to take this moment to direct my Flamethrower of Disdain into Don Wildmon's face for failing himself to take a neutral stance on the existence of God. Fucking bastard!
By the way, American opinions are becoming rather more understanding and tolerant of sexuality in recent years. So it's possible that Ford is simply following mainstream American culture. But the AFA can't stomach that and so whines from the sidelines that they're not "taking a neutral position."
While other automakers are at least holding their own (GM sales actually went up in August), Ford continues to suffer huge sales losses month after month.
It's obvious by now that homosexuals don't have enough purchasing power to keep the Ford ship afloat.
This idiocy is apparently unattached to any factual reality. Sales from American automakers have been falling dramatically in the wake of rising gas prices and a slowing US economy. For AFA's absurd statements to have any tenuous connection to the facts we would need at the very least some kind of evidence that GM was pursuing an aggressive anti-homosexual stance -- in addition to explaining these sales figures in some relation to the competition which is from foreign automakers with fuel efficiency, not homophobia, as their main differentiator from the domestic market.

Just another dispatch from AFA bizarro-world, where economics is driven by fringe groups' strident stances on pseudo-morality.
