Ellen DeGeneres Again Targeted By One Million Moms For JC Penney Christmas Ad

VIDEO

(JC Penney)

One Million Moms is once again going after Ellen DeGeneres.

Last February, the conservative group — a project of the American Family Association – called for JC Penney to fire DeGeneres as its spokesperson because she’s openly gay.

Now, the organization has renewed its campaign against the TV personality after JC Penney began airing a new Christmas ad featuring DeGeneres.

VIDEO BELOW

One Million Moms wrote on its website on Tuesday, “Since April, JC Penney’s has not aired Ellen DeGeneres in one of their commercials until now,” adding, “A new JCP ad features Ellen and three elves. JCP has made their choice to offend a huge majority of their customers again.”

“Christians must now vote with their wallets,” continued the statement.

Last March, the group dropped its protest against DeGeneres after JC Penney expressed its continued support for the comedienne.

At the time, the host responded to the attack on her talk show, saying “haters are my motivators.”

Check out the commercial below.

    Are there really one million moms in this stupid organization? Don’t they have better things to do?

  • Lynne

    I am a Christian, and I have the right to my beliefs, but I would never in a million years be offended that Ellen or any other gay person is in an ad for a major corporation.

  • MissM

    I wish more people had your attitude. Of course you are entitled to your beliefs, I just wish so many supposed Christians would remember the whole “do unto others” rule. Pretty sure Jesus doesn’t think it’s appropriate to hate on anybody, regardless of who they love.

    “Christians must now vote with their wallets,”…Not all “Christians” are hate mongers. Thank goodness you are too busy to raise your own kids. Maybe they will learn to be decent human beings who don’t hate for the sake of hate. That is NOT what Jesus taught.

  • peppermintulip

    I’m also a Christian and the Bible teaches you not to hate or to judge. If whom Ellen is sleeping with is wrong she’ll be judged, as will I and everyone else since we’re all sinners, when we stand before the Lord. If that’s Ellen’s only sin she’s ahead of most of us since she seems like a wonderful person.

  • UGH

    i just don’t see what it matters. ellen stands out as a person and as a celebrity, she is so generous and well-intentioned and peaceful and just lovely, i can’t comprehend how someone can ignore all that and take immense fault with something she is naturally born with! it’s almost 2013 how are we not past this absurd superficial bullshit?

  • lame

    you are absolutely disgusting for saying she will be judged for who she sleeps with and that her being gay is a sin. go screw yourself.

  • Amy

    The people against these ads are getting ridiculous. If you’re against gay marriage, fine that’s your choice but ellen is doing nothing but promoting jcp and her show. Nowhere in these ads does she mention being gay or endorse being gay so them calling her out for being gay makes no sense. Ellen is a strong, kind-hearted person who does nothing but help people. These one million moms should be ashamed of themselves for ridiculing someone as inspiring as ellen.

  • Dawn9476

    Totally of ridiclous for One Million moms to do this because the moms that made Ellen’s show into a success are more likely to be the same type of mom that shops at JC Penny.

  • Happy to be here

    What about this commercial bothers anyone? She makes people laugh at no ones expense.

  • Jennifer Thurston

    I KNOW that God creates people Gay or Straight or Both or those like me who gave up the Whole Sex thing. Why would God do this? To Show us that We are LOVED & that Love Will NEVER STOP. Love you Ellen And JCP!.

  • liveandletlive

    Wow, and you’re so non-judgmental yourself, aren’t you? Maybe you missed the word ‘if’ in peppermintulip’s post? And she’s saying everyone will be judged, not just Ellen.

    While I don’t share her beliefs or views, I have a heck of a lot more respect for peppermintulip than I do for you, lame. At least you picked a screen name that fits.

  • MissZee

    you’re kidding me right?.this fucking group is so hypocritical it isn’t even funny anymore…these aren’t true Christians.

  • S.L

    this is absolutely ridiculous there are far better things for people to worry about, she isn’t flaunting her sexuality in these commercials so I don’t understand whats wrong. Some women must not have anything better to do with there lives then try to tear down successful women with there stupid ideals

  • http://twitter.com/1darkeclipse darkeclipse

    Again? don’t they have jobs or just bash Ellen all day ?,

    who cares if she’s a lesbian? so what?

  • sickofdumb

    I truly have no problem with someone having their own beliefs. It’s the hypocrites that push their beliefs onto others, like these women, are who I have an issue with. They are all against her because she’s gay. It seems to me that you Christians are not supposed to be so judgmental. Hypocrites!!!!!

  • ljs

    Way to go 1MM – I hadn’t thought about going to JC Penny’s, but I will now. I’ll do anything NOT to support a group like yours.

  • leyl

    ugh! get over it one million moms, there are gay people in the world and you can’t do anything about it but let them be!

  • MyKinKStar

    I’d hate to have any of those ‘million moms’ as mine and be struggling in life with sexuality OR anything else that doesn’t fit into their perfect world. I wonder what church they belong to . . . Perhaps they are related to those Westboro idiots who picket soldiers funerals.

  • MyKinKStar

    Perhaps these so-called ‘million moms’ would rather the spokesperson for JCP was an old, white male who cheats on his wife and has children outside his ‘sacred’ marriage. They are unable to see a bigger picture, to respect outside their own beliefs. We all choose our own path, and as long as it’s not about using/abusing the innocents = children and animals, then it’s no ones business!

  • tia maria

    i totally agree with you. i am a christian too and do not see anything wrong with ellen being in the ad or any openly gay person. what a person does in their bedroom is their business and nobody else’s and should not affect any part of their life

  • Happy to be here

    What Ellen does is prove that there is nothing wrong with being herself. If and when these women do as much good in the world as Ellen does then perhaps they can be forgiven for there ignorance. Shame on you ladies. God loves us all, even Ellen.

  • Just me

    Enough is enough I am a parent, a mother and a grandmother and was born an American therefore I believe these people who are angry with the world and the people in it need to stop messing with my well earned title….. It they need to take on the world they need to do it under a name that leaves me out of it… like up tight head in the mud human with a stick up their a## who loves screaming into the wind….

    I don’t care what they think or want…. Except they need to scream softer and leave me out of it…
    I suport Penny’s and Ellen and our right to be …

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jeff-Carr/100003501334342 Jeff Carr

    I suggest they change their name to One Million NITWITS.
    Take your Bible Thumping Bullshite somewhere else morons.
    The Bible was written by MEN not G-d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ONE MILLION MOMS IS REALLY PAT ROBERTSON AND HIS FRIENDS WHO DRESS IN DRAG BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THERE’S A FEW REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS IN HIS GROUP. HYPOCRITES ALL.

  • Chloe

    I’m beginning to believe this 1 million organization are a bunch of crazy women. Where they when the far right wanted to do forced vaginal procedures on women?

  • Irish Girl

    Yeah, they’re full of crap. How is it a “controversy” if the majority public…you know…doesn’t really have a problem with it and in fact, SUPPORT it? Yeah. Some controversy…

    Yeesh.

  • Irish Girl

    Evidently not. Bill O’Reilly doesn’t want their help with the War On Christmas — he’s too afraid of sharing the limelight. So they have only this to sustain them.

  • Lumpy Space Princess

    Funny, because I doubt a real mom would have time to be part of an organization. She’s a mom. She’s busy.

  • Betina

    I’m also a Christian and would not boycott a company due to a company being represented by a gay person. It is my belief that Jesus was on this earth and walked among every person on this earth without judgement. Therefore I live by that rule as well. I have gay relatives and friends. I may not agree with gay marriage but I love the awesome human beings they are. They may not agree with something in my life and that is fine. Let’s all have more tolerance!

  • JG

    You think that they would be happy because JCP said Merry Christmas instead of happy holidays. I am a Christian and I support people who show love, kindness, and charity to others. That is the point of being a Christian

  • Chloe

    The Bible also says…those without sin cast the first stone. GOD will do the judging not you. Be careful he will judge you and your hate.

  • http://twitter.com/malibujanna J. Silver

    She isn’t sleeping with anyone except for her wife she is married!

  • DontNeedAUsername

    People like this give us Christians with COMMON SENSE a bad name. I’m a Christian and I have friends that are openly gay and relatives. I’d would NEVER treat people like this nor would I ever be offended. I love Elena and she’s very sweet. This makes me sick that people even had the audacity to write this CRAP.

  • DontNeedAUsername

    I’m a Christian and I have always defended gays. People like this really makes us look bad.

  • DontNeedAUsername

    That right there shows how stupid you are.

  • DontNeedAUsername

    That’s not she was saying she means gender wise

  • DontNeedAUsername

    She CLEARLY said that.

  • DontNeedAUsername

    You Christians? No don’t group all of Christians together not every Christian is like that so don’t go there

  • DontNeedAUsername

    Right not all Christians are like that.

  • DontNeedAUsername

    Lmaooo

  • http://www.facebook.com/kathy.griggs.792 Kathy Griggs

    I believe One Million Moms needs to look up the meaning of the word Christian. They most definitely do NOT speak for me. I am very much a Christian and I have no problem with Ellen Degeneres or J.C. Penny (aside from the fact that they are way to expensive for me)!

  • texan_78748

    “Last March, the group dropped its protest against DeGeneres after JC Penney expressed its continued support for the comedienne.” Soooooo…. this makes it sound like they are just a bunch of hypocrites……

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1135943396 Stacy Scabin

    I too am a mom but by NO MEANS PART OF THE 1 MM I love Ellen and all that she stands up for and believes in, she is the most kind hearted loving person on TV this group needs to just back off and be quiet. Didn’t their MOMS ever teach them if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all!!!!!!

  • R. McBride

    Someone should tell the One Million Moms that watching a gay person on television will not turn their children gay. They are either gay at birth or they’re not. Television, movies, books, being around Gay Uncle Chester are not going to make them gay.
    I think One Million Moms would better spend their time and energies teaching their children how to be loving, non-judgemental people who except and appreciate people for who they are and spend their money on something like Santa Paws or Water Project.
    Hate only breeds more hate.

  • JJ13

    This is completely ridiculous! This group of Christians are the ones who make decent Christians look like fools. Everyone is entitled to a Freedom of religion or freedom from religion. I myself was a devoted Catholic endoctrined into Christianity at birth,making all 3 sacraments and attending Catholic night school for 8 years. I have choose to stand as a proud Atheist now since I was 20, now at 35 I still feel more free than I ever did. It is okay to hate the religion but you can still love the believer. I believe in unity & equality for all.mankind ,no matter what lifestyle you choose to live. These mothers are the type that I’m sure put the fear of hell into their children instead of teaching universal slavation. To even read this article makes me physically ill ,my heart wraps for Ellen and all the families that have lost their children due to hatred & bullying of children or teens that have commited suicide due to our societies discrimination. A mother should love her child unconditionally no matter what. This needs to stop immediately ,what kind of future is in store for generations to come. We as a whole take two steps forward and something like this just shows three steps backwards. Wake up & teach your children love not hate…this truly sickens me. I feel for all the good warm hearted Christians who have these moms drawing such ignorance to their religious community. You Haters are a disgrace to humanity! Who are you to place judgement on someone else ,keep hanging yourselves ,because you group of haters do a good job on your own making yourselves look foolish. Sickening,really sad.

    [Saw this juicy little tidbit in webland! Any reactions?]

    By signing same-sex marriage into law, the Bible-loving Washington
    State Governor is helping to fulfill the predicted “days of Lot” (Luke
    17) – days Jesus said would precede and hurry up His return as Judge –
    and she is thus making the Bible even more believable! After swelling up
    with pride, Mt. Rainier will be having a blast that Seaddlepated folks
    can share in lava-land!

  • Russ

    OMM are entitled to their bigoted and hate filled opinions, but if they think they are changing minds about where to shop or what television programs to watch they should really think again. If you go on their website and view their so called “successes” they list cancelled television programs that obviously did not have a huge following anyway. They weren’t cancelled because of any pressure from a bunch of hateful women who have nothing better to do than make themselves look like the hypocritical fools they truly are. Dumb asses!
