The right-wing is trying to re-create the Tea Party movement with the Chik-Fil-A controversy.

Right-wing radio is all over the story They are attempting to stir up a certain portion of their base for the election in November. Don't fall for it. Don't give them the satisfaction of playing these people like pawns once again. Don't eat their chicken. Let them say whatever they want to say. It's a trivial story that they are trying to build into something larger. Just tell them, "Enjoy your chiken!"

They should eat there every day. We should encourage that.

3. FYI, being overweight or obese has nothing to do with political ideology

It has much more to do with diet and laziness and nothing to do with either selecting a D or R in November.

7. Hey, I'm old and fat, too. I just don't eat greasy chicken fast food.

That's because I want to become less fat and live to be even older. But I would encourage old, fat teabaggers to keep eating that greasy crap at Chik-Fil-A. All they want, all day.

5. Yeah, they've all become Demand Side economists, so they agree "Cathy didn't build that himself."

It takes middle-class people with money for "job-creators" to "create" jobs.

9. The RW are professional trawlers

dragging their nets behind them to pick up the bottom feeders. It is what parasites do (sorry if this offends) --they feed off the most vulnerable life forms in order to sustain themselves. The RW are social parasites--they contribute nothing constructive, pay no taxes, and are sucking the life out of our country.
