		<description><![CDATA[Pepsi: Good enough for Joan Crawford

James Dobson's conservative homo-hatin' AFA is at it again. That dodo Dobson is pissed at PepsiCo because the soda company gave $500,000 to PFLAG and another $500K to the Human Rights Campaign. And to add insult to injury, Dobson he got what he terms a "condescending" letter about the matter from Pepsi's director of public policy Paul Boykas. Dobson has worked his Bible into a bunch because the organizations are using the money to:::gasp!::::

help promote homosexuality in the workplace. Pepsi refuses to give money to any pro-family organization that opposes the homosexual agenda. Plus, every homosexual organization we know of is overwhelmingly pro-abortion. ]]></description>

<p>Domald Wildmon&#8217;s conservative homo-hatin&#8217; AFA is at it again. T<a href="http://www.afa.net/boycottpepsico/pepsionemillion.htm">hat dodo  is pissed at PepsiCo because the soda company gave $500,000</a> to PFLAG and another $500K to the Human Rights Campaign. And to add insult to injury, Dobson he got what he terms a &quot;condescending&quot; letter about the matter from Pepsi&#8217;s director of public policy Paul Boykas. Wildmon has worked his Bible into a bunch because the organizations are using the money to:::gasp!:::: </p>
<blockquote><div class='wbq'><p>help promote homosexuality in the workplace. Pepsi refuses to give money to any pro-family organization that opposes the homosexual agenda. Plus, every homosexual organization we know of is overwhelmingly pro-abortion. </p>
</div></blockquote>
<p>And Wildmon reports, in bold letters signifying super outrage,: </p>
<blockquote><div class='wbq'><p><strong>Pepsi forces all employees to attend sexual orientation and gender identity diversity training where they are taught to accept homosexuality.</strong></p>
</div></blockquote>
<p>Oh noez! Diversity training! Um, Dr Wildmon, as of May, 2008 WalMart has workforce protections in place for transgendered employees which enhances the company&#8217;s anti-discrimination guidelines. Why haven&#8217;t you started picking on them? And heck, <a href="http://www.cmt.com/news/news-in-brief/1586248/tim-mcgraw-gets-his-own-fritos-flavor-at-wal-mart.jhtml">everybody who pays attention to Wildmon better start boycotting Tim McGraw</a> because Fritos, which is a PepsiCo brand, sponsored his tour and gave him his own flavor (Spicy Jalapeno). And y&#8217;all gonna burn in hell if you don&#8217;t lay off the <a href="http://www.pepsico.com/Brands.aspx">Gatorade, Mountain Dew and oatmeal</a>, not to mention, stop watching NASCAR, since Jeff Gordon drives the official Pepsi car and Pepsi sponsors NASCAR races. </p>
<p>Wildmon wants his angry followers to sign the boycott pledge, then call and complain about Pepsi&#8217;s lack of &quot;neutrality&quot; in the culture wars. <a href="http://www.afa.net/boycottpepsico/pepsionemillion.htm">So heck, I guess if you feel like it, you can call Pepsi and thank them, using this list Wildmon so kindly compiled. </a>Or just buy some Fritos and a liter bottle of Dew to kick start your blogging. </p>
