What the heck is this Chick a Filet thing all about w the twinks?

[Soul Crusher]

the groups that Cathy funds seem to be an issue to gay people and for good reason

What a handful of mayors are trying to do is a separate though related issue and I think this board is almost unanimous in objecting to their actions

So?  Ben n Jerry's donates to left wing causes.  

Do you see people trying to boycott them?

yep.  no liberals of anyone else on getbig are agreeing with those dipshit mayors.

it's this far-right victim mentality at work once again - they just assume everyone is saying that, everyone agrees, everyone is out to get them.  Most getbiggers look at Rahm and consider him to be an unconstitutional dipshit pandering to his base.  But they need a boogeyman, so they'll invent one.

yes and not even for a very good reason

it would be one thing if fundies wanted to boycott Ben and Jerry's because the owners gave money to a group that falsely try to portray fundamentalist christians as pedaphiles.

That would be a perfectly reasonable reason to boycott them for those inclined to do boycotts in the first place

But the actual reason that fundies wanted to boycott Ben and Jerry's is absurd (as it usually is, like the time that fundies that their panties in twist over Harry  Potter books and movies)

This was last September

"Tastes Like Hate" Painted on Torrance Chick-fil-A, More Protests Planned
NBC Los Angeles ^ | Aug. 3, 2012 | NBC News

Posted on Friday, August 03, 2012 11:04:30 AM by Beaten Valve

Vandals at a Chick-Fil-A in Torrance left a message on the restaurant Friday during a week of protests in response to the company president's comments regarding same-sex marriage.

"Tastes Like Hate" and a cow with a paint brush appeared on the Torrance restaurant early Friday as same-sex marriage activists planned a "National Same-Sex Kiss Day" at Chick-fil-A locations nationwide. The kiss-in comes two days after a "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day," which resulted in what the Georgia-based chain called a "record-setting" day.

The company's executive vice president of marketing declined to offer sales figures to NBC News.

Participants in Friday's counter-protest will lock lips at chain locations.

333 -no response back on the fact that fundies have been boycotting Ben and Jerry's over THE NAME of their ice cream?

They are free to do it, even though i think boycotts are stupid.

boycotts can be stupid or not stupid

boycotting a company that spends money to falsely promote the idea that a group of people are pedaphiles is not unreasonble (i.e. most reasonable people could understand that motivation)

boycotting a company because you object to the name of their ice cream is beyond silly, especially when that name has nothing to do with your religious beliefs and doesn't have anything to even do with religion

Their motivation ?

the name of the ice cream is "disrespectful to me and my family.”

all the time.

University Suspends Chick-Fil-A from Campus [NC college is first to do so]

Campus Reform.org ^ | Aug 13 2012 | Cameron Harris

Posted on Mon Aug 13 2012 15:02:43 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) by



Davidson College in North Carolina has become the first university in the nation to prevent Chick-fil-A from being served on campus.



A liberal arts college in North Carolina has become the first in the nation to prevent Chick-fil-A from being served at campus events over the restaurant's indirect support of pro-family groups perceived by some as “anti-gay.”

The student organization that controls student funds at Davidson College made the decision last week to prevent the sandwiches from being served at a series of events called “After Midnight,” when students circulated a petition expressing outrage over a Chick-fil-A’s owner’s monetary donations to groups including Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council.
