So the owner of Chik-Fila doesn't support gay marriage and the libs are up in arms. Muppets cut business ties with them (not that they are relevant) and people who probably never went in there say they are never going to go there (How do I know this? Because the libs are surprised that the owner of a fast food chain who always closes stores on Sunday is against gay marriage).
 
I've come to the consclusion that the liberals are only tollerant of their own views. If you stray from what they believe you should and will be punished. 4951

Mayors in Boston, Philly and some other place are making a plea for them to leave their cities.  How ridiculous is that? 4951

The founder of Chik-Fila haas done more for people than those mayors ever have.
 
I wonder why the mayor of Philly hasn't asked the Eagles, with Mike Vick dog killer on their team to leave?

Conservatives are asking to show support by eating at Chick - Fila on Monday.  Those in favor of gay marriage certainly have the choice NOT to eat at Chick -Fila, but should not be bashing the owner for voicing his view-point.  Now, if he made it a policy that Chick - Fila will not serve gays, or anyone that supports gay marriage, that would be an issue they could cry about.  Otherwise they need to respect his viewpoint, not agree with it, but respect it. 4951

@manhunter they will never agree or respect an opposing view point. From here on out this guy is enemy #1. They are going to to make fun of him and chik-fila on SNL, Daily show and Colbert. Gays are going to threaten College football to not allow Chik to sponsor any college sports. They will come up with half truths and probably set up an owner about being discriminated. They are a sad group of folks. 4951

I don't think it's a matter of only liberals making a big deal about it. I'm by no means a lib but I fully support gay marriage. I think that what the mayor of Boston is doing is an abuse of power & is somewhat childish, but I think that more than anything he's making a statement about taking a stand against homophobia, & in my opinion that's a good thing. Now don't get me wrong- I couldn't care less who does & doesn't eat there. I do not agree with the owner of chick-fil-a's view on gay marriage but that will not stop me from eating there. I definitely understand the issue others have though. What if the owner was racist or against rights that directly effected you somehow? Would you not have a problem with that? I'm sure to people who aren't gay or don't care for gay rights, this isn't a big deal. But to people who are gay & those who support the life style, they fight for equal rights every day so this is a big deal. The owner isn't an evil person & is more than entitled to his own opinion, but if he's going to voice such controversial opinions, he should have expected some back lash. That's just to be expected.  4951

I don't really care for Chick-Fil-A so none of this matters to me.Does it matter to people that Saudi Arabians own Churches Fried Chicken?My favorite fried chicken is Popeye's.  But now that I know that they fry in beef tallow, I rarely eat it. 4951

I can't believe a quote I read from Rosanne Barr that said something to the effect that people who eat Chic-fil-A  should get cancer!  (well, okay...I guess I can believe that coming from her, but geez....really?!?!?!?!?!?) 4951

I have heard more hate-mongering, discrimination, and intolerance coming from the left & the LBGT community regarding Chick Fil A and yet that same community is the one crying foul.I don't need comedians and funny movies for my daily laugh; I just read the news. 4951

How is this surprising? The guy has always stood by his beliefs, which is a great thing! He has the right to support ot not support whatever he wants. Even if you are for gay marriage, his position should be respected and you, as a consumer can choose to eat wherever you want for whatever reason. I, for one, just really dislike the food there so I don't go, but I don't care about what he believes. 4951

@pharlap: See, this is what is ridiculous. If someone is going to stand up for a cause and say people have their right to lifestyle, political and or religious beliefs, at least be consistent. I don't get crying 'hateful' if you wanna go to Chick-fil-a yet cry foul if someone doesn't have the same beliefs as you do and wish cancer on them.. She's an idiot to say something like that and wish death on people.Seriously she's a hater, AND THAT is what is wrong with this country. We wanna say everyone is free to have their own beliefs but if they are different than ours, that's where the rubber meets the road and we can't find it in our hearts to treat all people with dignity and respect..no matter their views, if we agree or not. And while I get that gays are fighting for equal rights in their eyes, people like her are not doing them any favors when they act like militant haters. If we all just acted like what we know is respectful and decent, their would be no hot button issues, except for the media who is lovin every minute of this.
