Target Boss Apologizes for Political Donations That Sparked Boycott

Target needs to be careful not to donate to bigots.

Target was right i donating to a political campaign....you don't see unions and other far left organization being singled out....why CEO the Suprem Court says itit'
s okay now thatthe shoe is on the other foot. scream baby, screame.. I bet the families of unions all switch to what for shopping.....socialism is not going toprevail in a socity who wants its independence to work where they want and not be led by union lackeys who say vote this way or no way....lets see who comes out on tip November 2010... Good luck

I wonder how some would have felt if they gave money to a candidate that was a KKK member. It's all the same and a company should want any and all customers and to back someone that is basically a bigot in his or her views toward any one group of people is just plain wrong. It's a shame that people don't realize that everyone in this country of ours should be equal in the eyes of the law and everyone should enjoy the same rights as everyone else. I don't think same sex marriage is going to hurt any of us one way or the other and unless someone is infringing on our rights then why should we care. World would be a better place if we all accepted everyone for who they are and not who we want someone to be. Read some of the postings as all I see is hate and hate never helped anyone and for the most part destroys the hater. Live and let live.

This is the power of the people!......When big business attempts to legislate the lives of the average Amercian they should be punished for their actions. There's plenty of other places to get the same service and products.

MORE AMERICANS SHOULD target TARGET.....LET'S MAKE THEM AN EXAMPLE FOR CORPORATE GREED.

Isn't this big business corporate funding of elections allowed by the policy setting Conservative Supreme Court? I find it repugnant behavior and the executive should fall on the sword (resign) for this judgment slip. He's paid big bucks not to make judgment slips and as a result of his actions, the shareholders may be holding a less valuable stock.

Why would a business owner not give $ to a pro-business group? We cannot be so narrow minded to focus on one issue in our political choices.

Hey target, keep your money out of the polotics. You want to give money away? Give too all the unemployed people by giving them a gift card to buy food or household items from your store.

Wake up conservatives. Maybe we should take into consideration for some boycotts of our own. This tactic has always been effective for the left. Maybe we should start using this for our causes. Don't go see that Robin Williams movie. Don't buy that Dixie Chicks CD. Be more aware of who owns what. Don't do business with any company that champions liberal causes. I wish there was a place to easily find this type of information.

Gee after reading this story I'll have to start shopping at target they have nothing to be sorry about.GAY"S should not be alowed to marry.

This store takes my money (and I shop there a lot) and contributes to conservative causes supported by their CEO. And he says he is a supporter of the GLBT community but financially supports those that aren't? I bet he’s a supporter of their hard green cash. Is this the conflict between talking the talk and walking the walk? Frankly I think it is corporate suicide to contribute to ANY political group that takes on such controversial social issues. I don't buy Dominos pizza because of their CEO's contributions to anti abortion groups. It is his own money he uses, but that doesn’t matter to me. He is very personally affiliated to these anti abortion organizations and since I know that I won’t buy his product. I believe that a woman has the right to choose and anyone who finances the opposite view won’t get my hard earned money. He also opposes birth control. (Don’t you love their fidelity to total control of a woman’s reproductive rights?)

To both of these businesses – stay out of other people’s lives and choices. It isn’t your business….retail is your business.

He gets to do what he wants ---- but I and my friends (and now my adult children) won't support these businesses. Back to Kohl’s and Pizza Hut....until they screw up.
