They have some reason for it. Ford did something like this and they weren't attacked by AFA, IIRC.

If it were NAMBLA I would probably not just boycott, I'd most likely picket them.

You must be my age or older, as the memory seems to fade. ;-) Here's an AFA link on the subject: You Will Absolutely Not Believe What Ford Has Done Now

You don't remember correctly.

There is an ongoing boycott of Ford products.

However, if the AFA is going to encourage a boycott of Walmart for the donation to the gay group, then they should include all the other businesses who are doing the same thing:

Click. Shop. Donate.
Now you can shop at your favorite online stores and have a portion of each sale donated directly to The Center. The donation is made automatically when you shop from the store links listed below. The percentage of each sale donated to the Center is indicated next to each store.
