“Target must be destroyed, not just boycotted and humbled into submission regarding their love affair with the LGBT crowd. I support the present boycott of Target; however, it is not a winning strategy. If we hold to the boycott and it grows with intensity until Target’s parking lot is almost empty then Target’s CEO will be forced to back down, …

Props to Alan Colmes! Brian Tashman reports at Right Wing Watch: Last month, Liberty Counsel President Anita Staver said that she plans on “taking a Glock .45 to the ladies room” after Target announced a new policy prohibiting discrimination against transgender customers.

Today’s sixth installment is titled Transgender Rights Take Center Stage In US Presidential Race. Hit the link for my status report on Trump, Cruz, Target, and North Carolina. DISCLOSURE: Pride Life is owned by the US company …

Miranda Blue reports at Right Wing Watch: It turns out that anti-LGBT activists are right that men are taking advantage of a transgender-inclusive policy at Target to go into women’s restrooms — and those men are anti-LGBT activists. In an interview this morning with “Breitbart News Daily,” the American Family Association’s director of governmental affairs, Sandy Rios, said that activists …

MoveOn has launched a #StandWithTarget petition to counter the petition authored earlier this week by the AFA. From the MoveOn petition: “I pledge to support Target and any other business that stands up for transgender rights and accommodates transgender people in their restroom use.” Sign at this link. They’ve gotten 26K signatures already.

Breitbart is thrilled: More than 1,000,000 people have signed the boycott pledge against Target, following the secretive decision by executives to open all of their stores’ bathrooms and changing rooms to people of both sexes. Late Thursday night, roughly 75 people a minute were adding their name to the petition as it clicked over 1 million, just after 10:30 pm …

Miranda Blue reports at Right Wing Watch: Far-right radio host Rick Wiles devoted the first half of his “Trunews” program on Monday to railing against Target’s policy of allowing transgender people to use the restroom that matches their gender identity, warning that the retail chain’s bathroom policy has helped turn America into Sodom and Gomorrah, which God will now destroy …

YouTube’s viral Liberal Redneck (a real-life comedian named Trae Crowder) is back with his take on the American Family Association’s boycott of Target. As like last time, I won’t give away the best lines with a recap. Just watch below.

At this writing the American Family Association’s petition to boycott Target has swelled to 750,000 names, making it by far the largest response we’ve seen for a hate group petition. Jealously watching from the sidelines is fellow hater Brian Brown, whose own boycott petitions against Starbucks and General Mills were laughable failures. But Brown isn’t about to miss an opportunity …

From the anti-LGBT group Faith Driven Consumer: Today, amidst growing consumer backlash over Target’s (Faith Equality Index Score 39/100) announcement that it will allow men in women’s bathrooms and changing rooms, Faith Driven Consumer is calling on its community of 41 million who spend $2 trillion annually to engage in a national #BUYcottWalmart effort by choosing Target’s archrival Walmart (FEI …

Liberty Counsel president Anita Staver declared Friday that she will be taking her Glock .45 handgun to Target as protection against assaults by transgender patrons. Staver tends to take the media backseat to her husband, Liberty Counsel chairman Mat Staver, but she was in the news last fall for claiming that the Vatican had gotten death threats over the “private …

It hasn’t yet been a week and already nearly half a million have allegedly signed the American Family Association’s boycott petition against Target. RedState is thrilled: Target may have misjudged the size of the audience they were choosing to make uncomfortable. The press continues to frame this as an “LGBTQ-friendly” policy or a “trans” policy, but of course nobody is …

From the American Family Association: In just a little over 24 hours since AFA called for a boycott of Target, more than 200,000 people have signed an online pledge to no longer shop at the retail giant.

Posted yesterday to Target’s corporate blog: Recent debate around proposed laws in several states has reignited a national conversation around inclusivity. So earlier this week, we reiterated with our team members where Target stands and how our beliefs are brought to life in how we serve our guests. Inclusivity is a core belief at Target. It’s something we celebrate. We …

“Target has caved to gender ideologues and has removed information identifying whether their products are intended for ‘boys’ or ‘girls’ in many of their sections. If you oppose this blatant act of political correctness, sign our letter to Target’s customer relations department, asking them to reverse their decision! Just a few months ago, Target defended gender-identifying signage, pointing to research …

Using the Target logo and a fake name, a hilarious troll took to Target’s Facebook page to battle the haters who are ever so pissed about the company’s coming gender-neutral toy aisles. AdWeek has the details: Brands can’t be as honest as they might like in dealing with haters on Facebook. But sometimes other Facebook users can do it for …
