They've got A LOT in common (killing poultry, homophobia) ... but the people at Chick-fil-A are adamant the company is NOT involved with a growing pro-Phil Robertson campaign called "Chick-Phil-A."
The Chick-Phil-A campaign is picking up steam on social media ... encouraging people to eat at Chick-fil-A restaurants on January 21st while wearing Duck Commander or camouflage gear to show their support for the "Duck Dynasty" star.
A Facebook page for the campaign says, "Stand for free speech. Sit for good food." So far, more than 40,000 people have already committed to participate
But despite the fact Chick-fil-A knows a little something about anti-gay marriage controversies, the restaurant says the event "is in no way sponsored by or affiliated with Chick-fil-A."
Chick-fil-A says Chick-Phil-A was created by an "independent group" ... though at this point, no group has come forward to take credit.

(35,262 posts)On one hand they can't ask their customers to not show up
On the other - If this thing does go down - Their rep as homophobic leaders will be cemented
I don't think they want that - They have tried to back away from that
I think they just want to sell chicken

(35,262 posts)right after the success of Huckabee's Chik-Fil-A bigot day they issued an apology
they made a ton of money one day and were apologizing the next
they weren't trying to milk the success - they want out
