Yeah, we know. We even had one admitting it right here in the thread. And we know that more than one fool from around here was parted from his money.

Chick-fil-a is already reporting second quarter losses. Ammo sales trending down too.

It would be nice if ordering a chicken sandwich wasn't making a political statement yanno? Sometimes you just want a chick fil-a chicken biscuit. Unfortunately for me, that tends to happen on Sunday morning.

Do it now while all the attention is focused on pizza.

You lost this fight Dog ... Death threats were real by you liberals . How about burning down the place .. very real . A left wing reporter started this fight and got spanked .

"Liberals" don't have to take the wrap for what some people said anymore than any other group should. The Democratic Party did not come out and endorse the death threats so all you have are death threats from people you call liberals. You'd probably call me a liberal yet I didn't make, nor do I condone death threats against anyone. Why don't you judge liberals by what I did or didn't do?

And every one who donated is a bigot right . Roll back a few pages and read that .

And I didn't say that either. I doubt you agree with everything that comes out of the conservative right. Why would you assume that about the left?

We don't have to call them bigots. That's the wonderful thing about self deception. You're only really fooling yourself.

These are the assumptions people make which lead to the drama on here. You aren't responsible for what you say, you're responsible for what you say and for what is attributed to you by others based on their assumptions about what 'people like you' have said.

The distinction is never recognised, no matter how often it is pointed out.

First let's set the story straight: http://www.abc57.com/story/28681598/rfra-first-business-to-publicly-deny-same-sex-service

“If a gay couple came in and wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no,” says Crystal O'Connor of Memories Pizza.

“We are a Christian establishment,” says O'Connor.

The O'Connors say they just don't agree with gay marriages and wouldn't cater them if asked to.

This wasn't a mistake. They clearly validated their stances against gay couples and weddings. So your first page screenshot of twitter comments saying that this was a misquote are flat out wrong.

Second, here's the definition of bigotry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigotry

Bigotry is a state of mind where a person obstinately, irrationally, unfairly or intolerantly dislikes other people, ideas, etc. Some examples include personal beliefs, race, religion, national origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or other group characteristics.

This establishment clearly discriminates against gay people. That makes them bigots. And you've donated money to them. I'll let you figure it out.

Not so sure about that. Lib has made it quite clear that conservatives are infallible. If one makes a mistake, they're rendered liberals by default.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

It's one thing to have those views, another to air them publicly. If you run a customer facing business it just isn't in your self interest to invite that kind of controversy.

It doesn't justify threats of violence. The whole situation seems unnecessary

The definition of bigotry you gave pretty much says everyone is a bigot. If you are intolerant of anyone, even someone you identify as a bigot based on their religious or political beliefs and this definition, then you are also a bigot. Or did I mis-interpet this.

Because what you do doesn't fit the RWNJ script.
