Until I read the above I was sympathetic to those who decided to stay away. Now, I think it is a witch-hunt, that Target is the victim of unfair PR, and that the Salvation Army itself is being very heavy-handed in laying the blame solely at the doorstep of Target.<

I just told my wife the same thing. Doesn't seem too Christian like to me. Is there a site that shows what groups and how much of that $100,000,000.00 pie is distributed?

The salvation army is not the one running a boycott, the people are. Salvation army is hurt more by target than the other stores mentioned in the article and Target has publicly announced their ban whereas the other stores haven't. Target is not some poor store being victimized here, also if you don't want to boycott, don't, no one is forcing you to join in and if you feel really sorry for Target, then please go spend all your money there and help them out. As for me I won't be shopping there or at any other store that bans Salvation Army. I am grateful for this article naming these other stores so I now know who to include in my boycott. Salvation army is the best charity in the US as far as distributing the money to the people who need it.
You want a web site? Do a google for yourself and find all you need, don't expect someone else to do your research for you.

Tub, when a company changes its policy, it will get media attention. Since Target has done so, it is feeling the wrath. The other policies have been in place much longer. Hence, they don't get the attention.

It is not un-Christian to criticize the company which is changing its policy.
