Liberal groups try to exploit backlash against Target for helping anti-gay marriage candidate

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) – Protestors have been rallying outside Target Corp. or its stores almost daily since the retailer angered gay rights supporters and progressives by giving money to help a conservative Republican gubernatorial candidate in Minnesota. Liberal groups are pushing to make an example of the company, hoping its woes will deter other businesses from putting their corporate funds into elections.

lol. They’ll never get loyal Target shoppers to stop shopping there. When our local Target closed down for remodeling a few years ago, nobody knew where to go! It was a huge event when it reopened.
 
Does anybody else find it ironic that Moveon.org is dictating who should and shouldn’t recieve corporate donations?
 
Glad to hear Target did this. I’ll have to shop there more often now.
 
I don’t much care for Target anyway. They fired a Native American buddy of mine for wearing his medicine pouch. I’m a bellringer for Salvaion Army at Christmas time and they won’t allow them. Target also refuses to accept Food Stamps and WIC because they think of themselves as upscale. While I don’t believe in Gay Marriage I don’t believe in Target either.

Target is one of the most gay friendly workplaces in America and has received a score of 100% from the Human Rights Campaign. They likely supported Emmer on economic, not social, issues.

This is evidence of the stunning opportunism of moveon and the gay movement, not a reflection of Target’s moral stance. Target is getting what it deserves in catering to these groups in the first place.

Me Me!!! I was just thinking the exact same thing. It is pathetic that Liberals do not like ANYONE to disagree with them and will make it know when they do.

Remember when Bart Stupak didn’t vote the way the right-wing wanted him to? The conservatives made it clear in all their posts that they didn’t like it at all that he disagreed with them, and made it known. Pathetic of them to do so, wasn’t it?

Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander.

Stupak? The so-called pro-life Democrat?

Oh, yes, those evil right-wingers, wanting to protect the lives of the unborn.

You miss the point. The right-wingers got their knickers all tied into a knot when they were complaining about something, namely Stupak, but are outraged when some other group decided to complain about something, namely Target.

Hypocrisy.

I have mixed feelings on Stupack. For whatever reason, he did stick his neck out, and that had the effect of at least raising awareness of the issue. That gave the pro-life movement some airtime and opportunity to present the case.

Then, in the end, he caved. I can’t admire him for caving. But I don’t discount his efforts in at least helping others wage the fight. He got death threats from both sides: that wasn’t right.

I agree with you about him, but you’re a new boy or girl here. You missed the posts about Stupak back then, which were about 99.9% vituperative. Not a kind word about what he had done in the past.

They don’t accept food stamps!! That’s unbelievable! I can’t stand these big box stores big business is defecating across our nation. I already don’t shop walley world not I may have to re-think Target. Are there any of these stores with good values?

I wonder what my conservative brethren think of a store that refuses to accept food stamps and WIC. . . . I guess the poor can always go somewhere else right?

And I’m not referring to the gay marriage question- which I am against.
