The rabidly homophobic Pastor James David Manning, having railed against Starbucks for allegedly putting "the semen of sodomites" in its coffee, is now calling for a boycott of all "sodomite-controlled" or "sodomite-friendly" businesses, and doing so with some violent imagery.

"The sodomites ... with the Supreme Court approval and a sodomite in the White House, think they now have America under their absolute thumb and control," the pastor of ATLAH Missionary Baptist Church, in New York City's Harlem neighborhood, says in a new video.

But God, he says, has revealed to him that the opponents of "sodomites" are "in the mega-majority." So, he tells his followers, "If you know of a business that is owned by sodomites -- for instance, Tylenol has produced a commercial destroying the images that Norman Rockwell painted so beautifully, so we're not going to buy Tylenol anymore." (Last year Tylenol ran a lesbian-inclusive ad playing off a well-known Rockwell painting of a family gathered for a holiday meal.)

Manning urges boycotts of not just major corporations but neighborhood restaurants that "cater to sodomites" or have gay waitstaff. He then makes a reference to slave uprisings and says "sodomites" are "pushing us to the point where we now need to push back."

"We're greater than them in number, and quite frankly, we have their throats ... in the clenches of our finger -- the index and our thumb," he continues. "And at any time we want to squeeze that Adam apple, we can, and I'm calling for a boycott to squeeze that Adam apple right now, against sodomy in America."

His followers, he concludes, have the power "to bring the sodomites to their knees, and if need be, to put them in their economic graves." You can watch the full deranged rant below.
