Here's a question for everyone. 

If Chick-Fil-A was removed and let's also say most the major funding towards these organizations stopped, do you think this would in any way effect the "Homophobia and Hate" at the bottom of the chart?  Do you think getting rid of these organizations will change the minds of the people who believe in what they are saying?

From my point of view, I think the Chick-Fil-A founders are wasting their money except for the added bonus of bringing in more customers for their restaurants.  They added a bunch of local customers in their stronghold cities for a measly $1.9 million.

Are you questioning whether advertising and propaganda actually work? I think the evidence points to yes.

StephenC, many people are for boycotting the middle east, and many more people are for weaning off of oil altogether, but are you under the impression that all oil comes from the middle east?

Or do you think that people are talking about all of fried chicken, instead of just Chik Fil A?

Or possibly do you think that Chik Fil A owns all fried chicken in the world?

Otherwise I think Im missing your point.

It MUST be that they own all the fried chicken :o   Another reason to boycott. ;)

Funny article about CFA in the Times Union, B1, Terry Dickson's commentary.

I thought it was pretty disingenuous, and just a way to pretend that the furor is over whether or not he has the right to express his opinion.

It's not of course.  It's about funding groups that are actively encouraging hatred and violence----not the expression of an opinion.

What was funny to me was the number of misspellings and grammar mistakes got corrected by dickinson's readers.

hmm.  It doesn't seem to have been such a good business decision on Chik Fil A's part.

Now there are two cities that are threatening to block the company's expansion into their large metropolises.

First Boston, now apparently Chicago.

For the record, I totally disagree with this kind of tactic.  The public should be allowed to vote with their dollars for or against this nonsense, and it is exactly the same kind of shenanigans that the local bullies in Avondale are trying to perpetrate on prospective businesses.

Both cicites have taken back their statements since the ACLU came out saying for any city government to block a  business based on their personal beleifs, then that would be very anti Constitutional. They know they can't do that. Lets start polling at CEO's on their personal beleifs. I guess Chicago and Boston would probably be pretty bare of any business after that.

I'm guessing today was the appreciation day.  I'm up in Richmond on business and the two locations near this office had lines spilling out of the resteraunt and around the building.  The independent owners of these locations will probably be asking Cathy to speak more often.

meh. most of these people will only patronize the restaurant once and then thats it. All it does is move the business of a month to a single day, but then it will be followed be very very slow weeks.

^Right on. Chick-fil-A better hope these folks show up on all the other days of the year to make up for the people who will never eat there again.

Here's what I did for lunch today:

Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

For the sake of my pets, I hope the people standing in line at Chick-Fil-A don't find out that Gays/Lesbians usually don't like to eat dogs and cats.

Where are they encouraging hatred and violence? I went to most of the websites and did not see anything.

Rest assured I had my Chick-Fil-A today. It was awesome to see so many people come out in support against the bigoted discrimination of liberals.
