A growing outcry over Target’s donation of $150,000 to a hard-right Republican running for governor in Minnesota could cost the company revenue, especially in left-leaning NYC. For over a week, MoveOn and a growing number of progressives have used Facebook and Twitter to blast the company, and they’re now calling for a nationwide boycott of the chain, which has given lavishly to support TV ads for Tom Emmer, who opposes same-sex marriage and abortion, and supports Arizona’s controversial S.B. 1070 immigration bill.
