FRC’s Tony Perkins Crows About Target Boycott: 1.1 Imaginary Boycotting Bigots Can’t Be Wrong

Tony Perkins Crows About Target Boycott: 1.1 Imaginary Boycotting Bigots Can't Be Wrong

Propaganda release on the FRC website:

After more than 1.1 million people pledged to boycott Target, celebrities and corporations alike are having second thoughts about crossing Americans on such a consensus issue. The decision by the retail giant is not only sparking massive backlash, but it’s helping the country get a real picture of the controversy in North Carolina. It’s also shown liberals that without the big media’s cover, twisting the facts of the law, they’re all by themselves. There’s even more evidence of that this week, as more singers are keeping their concert dates in North Carolina than canceling them. Even more telling, not one business has threatened to leave the state after seeing what happened to the retail giant — which has taken a $2.5 billion hit since letting grown men in women’s restrooms and dressing rooms. After executives announced the change, shares dropped 6 percent in just 10 days.

And the rest of the market is taking note. Rockers Cyndi Lauper and Mumford and Sons refused to cancel their stop in the Tar Heel State, and instead promised to donate the proceeds to LGBT organizations. This is what happens when you stand up to bullies! They leave. And the same thing would have eventually happened in Indiana, Georgia, and South Dakota if those governors would have had the courage to stand up for religious freedom. Most country stars, meanwhile, never abandoned fans in the first place. One of the biggest names on the scene, Florida Georgia Line, never hesitated. “We love North Carolina and our fans there, so we’re gonna play. We are going to be there for sure. For sure.” Scott McCreery, Cam, and Chris Land didn’t blink either. “I think there are bigger things in the world to be thinking about,” Chris Jansen told reporters. “So I think you can kind of get where I lean on that subject, right? You have to perform for the fans.”

Nobody knows for sure how many people have actually signed the above said petition since it is hosted on the American Family Association website and releases no actual information is available.  The number of 1.1 million comes from that hate group which released that number and by all rights is probably imaginary since there is no proof.

Targets stock prices are exactly 1 cent per share lower today as than this time last year.

Actually I’m surprised Perkins isn’t too busy these days with his very important work on America’s next Republican Presidential candidates Senator Ted Cruz’s “Religious Liberty Advisory Council” to go after a minor issue like bathroom policy at Target.  Oh wait.
