J.C. Penney is sticking by its commitment to Ellen as a sponsor and is unwavering in its support. In a shocking move, Bill O’Reilly — yes, THE Bill O’Reilly — has come out in support of Ellen as the spokeswoman of the company. O’Reilly believes this backlash from One Million Moms to be a witch-hunt. He compares this to the ’50s when people were hunting down commie lovers and blacklisting them. Well, Mr. O’Reilly has this one right, and I commend him. Not many conservatives of his status would come out and openly support Ellen in this conflict. He’s right in saying that this is about One Million Moms’ not wanting anybody to hire any LBGT workers. One Million Moms is calling for her head to roll based on her lifestyle and the organizations displeasure with it. If its members have a problem, they don’t need to shop there! You don’t have to call for her job. She has done nothing wrong and is a well-known, well-received celebrity personality. Hearing anybody defend this group is embarrassing. We are an advanced society who preach fairness and thrive on everybody having an equal opportunity to success. Who’s to say who gets these rights and who doesn’t? Certainly not any of the million moms. Let the woman live! This, sadly, isn’t the members of One Million Moms’ only problem. They’re also writing letters and boycotting Macy’s due to its “two groom” advertisement. Apparently in its newest catalogue, sent out in a wedding registry advertisement, instead of a man and woman atop the cake there were two men. This infuriated the group and its wrath was unleashed. The group also took up issue with “Dancing with the Stars” for allowing Carson Kressley and Chaz Bono to participate. What is this group’s problem? Do these million moms really have the time to seek out all the LGBT publicity and write letters, make calls and blog to make their opposition heard? If you have a problem with it, that’s your deal, but don’t ask for these people to be fired or ads to be removed. They have just as much of a right to be seen as the straight people in ads.

One Million Moms, an organization that fights the “filth” and “negative influences” being thrown at their children, have stood up and asked its members to call J.C. Penney to have Ellen Degeneres removed as their spokesperson so they may “remain neutral in the culture war.” The group has vowed to boycott the department store until action has been taken.
