Rahm Emanuel persecutes Christian run Chick-Fil-A

[ELVIS]

Chick-fil-A isn't welcome in Chicago, at least as far as Mayor Rahm Emanuel is concerned.

The head of the nation's third-largest city hopes to hit the fast food chain where it hurts most -- its pocketbook -- by vowing to block its plans to build a new restaurant in his hometown.

Emanuel is the second mayor of a major city to oppose Chick-fil-A over its gay marriage stance. Tom Menino, the mayor of Boston, Massachusetts, sent a letter informing Chick-fil-A executives last week that their plans to open a restaurant there are not welcome, either.

San Francisco Mayor Ewdin Lee also joined the chorus opposing Chick-fil-A with a tweet saying: 'Closest #ChickFilA to San Francisco is 40 miles away & I strongly recommend that they not try to come any closer.'

'Chick-fil-A’s values are not Chicago values. They’re not respectful of our residents, our neighbors and our family members. And if you’re gonna be part of the Chicago community, you should reflect Chicago values,' Emanuel told the Chicago Sun-Times on Wednesday.

The Democrat mayor, who was previously President Barack Obama's first chief of staff, said the comments by Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy run against the grain of the city, which allows civil partnerships for gay couples and is working to recognize gay marriage.
Gay marriage, however, is not legal in Illinois.

Chick-fil-A has filed permits to open its first stand-alone restaurant in Chicago. The chain already has a store near Loyola University's campus downtown.

Rahm Emanuel is a false "demoncrat" flaming right wing douchetube. But this is a rare instance where he's actually on the correct side of an issue.

There's no justification for Chick-fil-a's bigotry, and certainly nothing Christian about it.

[ELVIS]

Hahahaha...

You people are so afraid of Christians...

I think it's out of line for any government to tell a business what social issues they are allowed to support if they want to do business in their town.

Would be ok for mayors to decide not to let businesses open shops if they supported gay marriage? Of course not. The irony here is that these governments are opening themselves up to be sued for discrimination.

Hahahaha...

To the contrary, Nurse Presley....

"Christian" bigots like this douchewad chicken salesman are great for business. Well, great for MY business, anyway.

These people drive more people to Hell than Cerberus Bus Lines.

Shaddup FORD, your agenda is getting the best of you...

FUCK Chik-fil-A. Rahm's absolutely right on this one.

And yeah, they're so worried about "Christian Values" they're LYING (gee, I seem to recall that one being bad too) about why the Muppets pulled their toys from their kids meals...Lisa Henson basically told them to go fuck themselves in her statement, and indicated that they were donating CFA's last payment to GLADD. So what does Chik-fil-A do? Puts up signage in their locations saying THEY'd 'voluntarily removed' said toys for some complete bullshit reason.

Stay classy christians.

[Satan]

Good to see Henson take a stand for civil rights. But then, we ARE talking about the folks who put the first gay couple on TV, over 40 years ago...

[jhale667]

I'll try to find the press release later...she didn't mention Bert & Ernie by name, but did say they've been "promoting diversity, tolerance and acceptance" for 40 years or something to that effect.

[ELVIS]

That's an accomplishment ??

Someone change this stupid, inaccurate thread title...no one's being persecuted...this is the free market the Repukes love to extoll punishing a shitty business. Change "persecutes" to "OWNS".

Adolf didn't send anybody to camp for being a right wing delusional bigot, being one himself.

He did send a few million there for being gay though. Which is exactly where the pink triangle symbol came from.

If these right wing "Christians" can get away with claiming that equal rights for gays somehow means they (the "christians") are being discriminated against, then I should be able to make the same claims against them, for all the anti-Devilism in their church sermons.

That's the most idiotic analogy Thomocarrot's ever made, and that's saying something...

Wich gay rights activist pressured this company to make a statement about gay marriage..?

We are looking forward to doing business with you mr chickflah do you agree with gay marriage and how is the little missus and timmy?

If I was the chickflah dude I would sue the chicago mayor for negating free enterprize and graft and coruption.

And we all know Chicago is well known for destroying new businesses that take the strong arm money from the unions.
