Mightymoe, do you think anyone who boycots a company for any reason is overstepping their bounds? Or just when you disagree with their reasoning? Boycotting is one thing...dictating how and where anyone can make campain contributions is another. |

Boycotting is one thing...dictating how and where anyone can make campain contributions is another. i don't disagree with boycotting... i disagree with telling target they have to donate to the canadate of THEIR choice. they(the gay group) can donate to whoever they want. |

Mightymoe, do you think anyone who boycots a company for any reason is overstepping their bounds? Or just when you disagree with their reasoning? boycotting is something done when the company actually does something wrong, or unfair. i fail to see how target did anything wrong or unfair. it sounds the the teamster mob leaders tell a company how to run it's business. target has the right to donate as much as they want to anyone they want, as long as it's legal, as do the gays. if i was the ceo of target, i would tell them to get f#^ked. Ah, I see now. Because you are fine with it, everyone else should be. I get it. 
Why do you think you can tell people what they should and should not boycott? That being said, this would not make me stop shopping at Target, but if it makes some others do so, that's their decision. |

The OP didn't post all of the article. This part explains more about what's going on. "The flap has revealed new implications of a recent Supreme Court ruling that appeared to benefit corporations by clearing the way for them to spend company funds directly in elections. Companies taking sides in political campaigns risk alienating customers who back other candidates. Target's $150,000 donation to a business-oriented group supporting Republican Tom Emmer, an outspoken opponent of gay marriage, was one of the first big corporate contributions to become known after the U.S. Supreme Court threw out prohibitions on corporate spending in elections earlier this year." Oh. So now it's NOT OKAY for COMPANIES to have FREE SPEECH the way PRESSURE GROUPS do, right ... ? What you're saying is that 'free speech' is a LIMITED COMMODITY that's reserved for people who feel they've been 'victimized'. Sorry, that ain't the case. What IS the case is that these gays are once again advocating for and seeking SPECIAL RIGHTS - not EQUAL RIGHTS. If they were about EQUAL rights, they wouldn't have a problem with COMPANIES having an EQUAL VOICE in political campaigns. They better learn to live with it, 'cuz the majority that USED to be 'silent' ... AIN'T any more. |

Soooo Im sure Republicans dont really care for gays either, but that should have no bearing on this. Im glad that they are winning the rights they are as they should. But dictating policy to the world is another story. If I vote or make a political contribution, its no-ones biz but mine. I think thats an inalienable right for everyone. I understand and accept you have an opinion. However, until I actually read your profile, I took it you was a US Citizen. Canadians can't vote here and have no inalienable rights here. They are visitors here or if they sneak across, Illegals. 
And, I would dare to say, there are prolly a few homersexurales in the Repubelicane Party. |

THE GAYS can donate money as they see fit. so can target. to tell target to make a donation OR ELSE sounds illegal. |

I don't think they will be as intimidating as the Black Panthers were at the polls.

When a company has a right to donate to whichever candidates they wish, people have the right to boycott if they wish. It's as simple as that. It's pretty silly to think that everyone should agree with who the company chooses to support. And of course it's going to offend some people. If you don't have an issue with it, continue shopping as usual. Easy enough, right?

Undertandable. Anti gay is prejudice and should be fought against in the public realm. Who has a right to tell others who to have sex with? |
