Emanuel goes after Chick-fil-A for boss’ anti-gay views

“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 said Wednesday.

[MuttTheHoople]

Chicago values? What's that? Cops and politicians on the take? Gangland shootings? An Aurora movie theater-level murder rate every week? And all this because the Chik-Fil-A boss said that men jamming their pee pees into other men is wrong.

Don't forget to go to Chik-Fil-A on August 1, aka, Chik-Fil-A appreciation day. What better way to celebrate my wife and my 20th Anniversary?

For you homosexuals who think boycotts are a bunch of bunk, but don't want to get on the bad side of your more radical friends, just take a queue from Baptists in a liquor store- No eye contact, get what want, and have exact change so you can get out as fast as possible.

[albie]

CFA should boycott Chicago and refuse to do business there. And while they’re at it, refuse Ithaca, Austin, Cape Cod and Madison.

[micmac]

Celebrating sodomy is a Chicago value.

[servantboy777]

I disagree...they should attempt to expand in Chicago and Boston. When permits are denied or slow go’d, they should file a multi-million dollar law suit.

Hit the liberal freaks where it hurts most for them...the purse.

[bridgemanusa]

To Emanuel:

American businessman-run job-creating Chic-fil-a = Bad
Radical anti-Semite Nation of Islam = Good

seriously.. this country is losing it.

[rbg81]

And all this because the Chik-Fil-A boss said that men jamming their pee pees into other men is wrong.

He didn’t even say that. He merely said that his companies supports groups that help strengthen the traditional family. Sadly, in 2012, them’s is fighting words.

That being said, I think this is all just grandstanding on the part of Rahm and Menino.

[Doc Savage]

I suggest a compromise. Chik can set aside an area of the store where homos can demonstrate the Chicago values of anal penetration, fisting, dildos, and oral copulation. Kids will then be able to pick these values up after their Little League games and Boy Scout meetings. Now that sounds reasonable doesn’t it????

[TexasCajun]

And if you’re gonna be part of the Chicago community, you should reflect Chicago values

But we'll teach your children in Spanish and provide Spanish speaking public services for you.

[al_c]

So Chicago doesn’t value a company that teaches it’s (usually teenage) employees how to be polite and good customer service? Chicago doesn’t value a company that hires disabled to work in it’s restaurants? Chicago doesn’t value free speech?

Okay.

[MuttTheHoople]

Chik Fil A is the best fast-food chain out there. The kids who work in there provide better service than other fast-food chains like McDonalds and Burger King. For those of you who've worked there, are you taught to lean forward to listen to the customer take his/her order? The service is fast and friendly. Every worker seems very motivated and happy. I've even noticed they have workers with Down's Syndrome, who're very hard working and are very cheerful.

I'm hoping that my town would get one- I'd urge my son to apply for work there. He's a very strong Christian, and definitely would love the Sunday's off.

I lived in New Orleans for most of my life. We always caught hell for corruption. Well New Orleans and Louisiana,before Jindell, were corruption kindergarten compared to Chicago, Boston, and New York.
The Saints played Chicago for the NFC championship a few years ago. The year after Katrina if I am not mistaken.
The Saints and their fans were given a Chicago welcome.
Chicago's welcome included Bears fans with signs saying, “Why didn't you drown?” etc. Classy bunch of folks.
Not everyone was at that level but more than one would expect from supposedly civilized humans. Pure hate was exhibited.
Now that I'm on a roll.
FReep help. I seem to remember Dr. King saying words to the effect that when he was in Chicago during a (I believe sanitation )strike he experienced more hate in the eyes of people than anytime he was in the South. Pretty harsh stuff.

[glorgau]

“Chick-fil-A’s values are not Chicago values.

That means they are not greasing the right palms or hiring relatives of the right people.

[Dr. Ursus]

Hey,come to visit Chicago-stay for your funeral!

[snarkytart]

You pathetic scum bucket. Worry about the people being shot up in your damn city every night instead of appealing a small group of militant activist. I guess poor negroes don’t give campaign contributions like the elite rich gay lobby, right Emanuel?
Priorities.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Culture hot war is coming.

[WakeUpAndVote]

[prof.h.mandingo]

Agree. Actually it is long overdue.
The best part is the “culture destroyers” will be throwing rocks and bags of feces while we will be shooting. I hate to say it but I kinda look forward to this war.

Spot on!

beat me to it, but I couldnt post the pic

[DBrow]

A punishment for thoughtcrime, meted out by a mob whipped by the media in the name of tolerance.

Orwell had it 90% right.

[prof.h.mandingo]

Thanks Rahm!!!! I didn't realize Chicago was a Christian free zone. Must not even have any Catholics!!!lol

[imardmd1]

Chik can set aside an area of the store where homos can demonstrate the Chicago values of anal penetration, fisting, dildos, and oral copulation.

They already have lots of areas like that. they are called "public schools."

[GOYAKLA]

Is this true, what I heard?
Thomas Michael Menino, Mayor of Boston and Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago have made a pact to force the respective MIB teams in their towns to only use Switch-hitters in all theirs games! If you cannot hit from both sides of the plate, you cannot play in their cities.
Also they are going to the league and ask for visiting teams to field at least 2/3 of their players to Switch-hit while in their cities.

[boomop1]

What does this moron know about Chicago values, murder and mayhem.

[meyer]

Celebrating sodomy is a Chicago value.

Heck, they've been sodomizing the taxpayers for decades.

BTW, is murder considered a Chicago value as well? It seems to be quite a popular trend in the windy city.

[layman]

And if you’re gonna be part of the Chicago community, you should reflect Chicago values

I'm really sorry to hear that no one in the Chicago community supports traditional marriage.

[Stand Watch Listen]

[Will88]

Well, since Chik-Fil-A doesn’t reflect Chicago values and that makes them unsuitable to do business there, does Mayor Emanuel plan to now survey all businesses currently doing business in Chicago and then cancel the business licenses of all those who don’t support gay marriage?

Or is he just bullying a CEO who looks like an easy target to score a few political points in the Chicago political environment?

[Hotlanta Mike]

I concur...and further they should become a major sponsor of the Green Bay Packers and force Chicagoans to look at their rivals kicking their ass up and down the football field with CFA advertising.

[cymbeline]

Too much attention is being given to the Gay issue and some other social issues. People are going to express pro and con opinions. Fine. Let’s not overreact. Perhaps let’s not react at all. Chic-Fil-A takes an anti-gay position. So what? Someone else takes a pro-gay position. So what? Right now there are more important things to be concerned about.

[Erik Latranyi]

What would liberals say about a Republican Mayor who blocked a Target store due to their support of gay marriage?

Put the shoe on the other foot when discussing this!

“Nation of Islam can open a restaurant in Chicago, but not Chick-fil-A?”

My father is a retired Marine Lt. Col., and he was a Commanding Officer (CO) for the last few years he was in. He told me that EVERY Marine he knew from Chicago gave him trouble.

[Vanders9]

...And if you’re gonna be part of the Chicago community, you should reflect Chicago values,” Emanuel said Wednesday.

If that is the case, how would "Chicago values" ever change? I mean ever?

[Hunton Peck]

"You go, Rahmbo!"

[TurboZamboni]

I thought “Chicago values” were to vote when you’re dead and become dead by being shot by gang members.
