AFA Calls for a Google Boycott

[William769]

In not-so-surprising news today, Right Wing Watch reported that the American Family Association's Buster Wilson this week floated the idea of a Google boycott, in response to the tech company's heralded new "Legalize Love"campaign. Google said their new international campaign was aimed at decriminalizing homosexuality and eliminating homophobia around the globe. The AFA already boycotts the maker of Oreo cookies (thanks to their rainbow pride cookie ad from June) and Home Depot (for their pro-LGBT employee policies). But Wilson told listeners of AFA's radio program, AFA Today, that the boycott would, naturally be a tough one, but one that would “test the meat of our convictions.”

Of course, AFA members may have to look high and low for a search engine that meets their “convictions,” since Bing — oft cited as the next largest search engine — is owned by Microsoft, a company that recently endorsed marriage equality as well.

1. I'm sure it will work as well as all their other boycotts have.

2. Conservapedia, the only site they need.

Who needs a search engine when it's all right on one site?

3. Why don't we call for an AFA boycott?

5. Oreos, a comfort food.

In more ways than one.

We don't eat a whole lot of sweets, but we'll take the hit for the team. (Oh the paaaain, the paaaain! )

They might stumble on the truth with that.

8. they are making thier own search engine called Godgle

So search for something and it goes to a online bible and appropriate verse....after all God has all the answers...
