WASHINGTON, July 4 (UPI) -- The American Family Association announced a boycott of McDonald's Corp. Thursday because of the fast-food chain's support of a gay business group.

AFA President Tim Wildmon said McDonald's had refused to end its involvement with the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, The Washington Post reported. McDonald's joined the chamber several months ago and has a representative on the board of directors.

Nothing new. These boycotts don't do any good unless they are done en masse.

Just another example of bigotry and ignorance on the part of the American Family Association...I predict total failure...Maybe they should borrow Fred Phelp's signs and picket instead....Same bigotry as Phelps just a different method.

Agree they are one step removed from Phelp's psychos. After 9 yrs the anti-American Family Association dropped it's boycott of Disneyland & Disney World b/c of "higher priorities." [wonder how much $ Disney lost?

Radical Protestant mullahs as hateful as any Islamic radical.

How dumb are you? Seriously, how dumb are you. Radical muslim clerics call death to all infidels, which you, are one of. This other group with way too much time on their hands is exercising their 1st amendment rights, not total death an destruction to those with whom they disagree. Seriously, did you just drool with wide eyed lust at every Marxist word that fell out of your sociology professors mouth? Sheesh!

I don't think you would be nearly as generous in your remarks if you or your brother/sister were gay.

When measuring who hates more/ who is worse it becomes senseless. The likes of Wildmon/Dobson are hateful\ ignorant & powerful in the harm they do to others. The Texas preacher, Hagee says Catholic Christians are "whores" [how is that different than sheites / Sunni killing each other? It starts with hate [Protestants & Catholics killed each other also many centuries ago].

So how dumb are you to revere these "good Christian preachers"?

Happ, pull your brains out of your rectum. No one with an ounce of intelligence believes these people are "good Christian preachers".

When this group starts calling for the murder of homosexuals or anyone who disagrees with them, then I'll equate them with radical mullahs. Your hatred of Christians is as putrid as this group's hatred of homosexuals.

McDonald's sucks anyway regardless of their support for gays. Their burgers are nasty, their fries are nasty, and Ronald freaks me out. Barf...!
