Politico's headline makes it sound as if (1) 630,000 and 2,000 are more-or-less similar numbers and (2) long lines waiting to patronize a business are as bad as protestors outside the place.

[txrefugee]

Politico is a coven of Hillary hacks. It’s a Democrat mouthpiece that will never admit that Christians can be good citizens of this country.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

That’s right. Chick fil a did not face “protests.” It did a huge amount of business and some gay rights activists attempted to put together some protests that turned out to be pathetic. That’s the real story of Politico was being fair and balanced rather than some Leftwing rag with an agenda.

[nascarnation]

No surprise there.

You can pretty much bet Friday’s national MSM news will be nonstop coverage of folks having a gay old time @ CFA.

I am heartened that our LOCAL tv stations here in Indy have given today’s overwhelming support lots of coverage.

[popdonnelly]

Politico is ultra liberal nonsense for ultra liberals.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

“”packs of protesters””?

Politico is writing fiction. I have read the FR after action reports and no one is mentioning protesters.

Sorry Politico I not buying your story-—

[Steely Tom]

The MSM ignored the TEA Party rally on the Washington Mall back in 2010. They ignored the 65,000 at the Glen Beck event in Dallas.

They are a joke. Most people learn fairly early in life that kidding yourself is not a winning strategy.

Then there are those who double down on kidding themselves. They go on to become “liberals.”

[PapaBear3625]

Conservatives should stage a repeat on Friday (the “gay kiss-in” day). If the gay activists see a big crowd of presumably-conservative CFA fans, they are less likely to push their luck.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Was just about to post the same thing. Read the headline carefully, it sounds like Chick-Fil-A is facing an existential crisis.

[LurkedLongEnough]

Protesters? Prove it, Politico.

Asians, Blacks, Whites, Latinos and everything in between of all beliefs - all enjoying their 1st amendment freedoms... THAT'S what scares the H311 out of you.

[Calusa]

The Plantation/Davie FL Chick-fil-A had a long lunch time line of vehicles wrapping aound the corner actually causing a a slowdown of the traffic entering the Tower Shops and Costco from University Drive. A possible indication the regular folks are waking up to the fact that if they don’t stand up to the bullying there isn’t going be anything left of our freedoms. Eat more chikin!

[Sacajaweau]

The bottom line is that Chick Fil A has taken the high road and stayed there.

The people are trying to say something. Sure wish the politicians would wake up.

There is no such thing as gay marriage.

There is no such thing as 2 mommies or two daddies.

Why is the governmetn not protecting me, my children and my grandchildren from these perverts.

We staged a rally this morning at the Northridge CA "Chick-fil-A." My sign below. I point out that Free Speech is a right -- and the Right to boycott, shop elsewhere is your economic freedom as well. Many news media outlets were there. They interviewed us. We emphasized free speech, Chicago's move to perhaps pull licenses from Chick-fil-A restaurants - that move was Anti-free speech and Anti-free private enterprise. Our Rights include the right to have 'annoying' opinions and to be 'annoying' business owners, as long as these activities are voluntary and peaceful. Shop there, don't shop there - it's your choice. It's called the 13th Amendment: you are FREE to start your own individual business, express your views, lose money if people don't like it. FREE enterprise. All in all it was a fruitful event, I think the media "got it" (the philosophy behind our rights to free speech, economic freedom & free enterprise).

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

Yes there ARE protests... Protests of the gay agenda aggressively presenting itself in every part of our lives like an invasive species... Protests of those who oppose free speech (except for their interests)... Protests of those who are anti-family, anti-morality, and anti-American. THESE are what the 600,000+ are protesting!

[Kimmers]

I compare this with the response to JC Penny 2 dad ad......where were the lines around the corner of people showing their gay support to Penny’s.......

[A_Former_Democrat]

Just back from MacArthur/635 location, 415 PM entry, so way early on the dinner crowd. Still, both lines wound around with cars, people parking in the adjacent lot to go inside.

30 or more eating inside. Gee, any so polite both customers and employees. Nothing like we see on leftist-type days, is it?

Oh, and the customers were a pretty “diverse” bunch too.

And not one “protester” Cowards don’t show up on days like this. I’ll be back on Friday to mock any “protesting” pervs that might be dumb enough to show up

[Lazamataz]

Chick-fil-A restaurants around the country on Wednesday faced long lines of customers and packs of protesters — all of them responding, in one way or another, to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s call for an “appreciation day” for the chicken chain that opposes same-sex marriage.

Good old Politico. Firmly in the bag for the left, wants to spin this as 'protests AGAINST' Chik-Fil-A.

What a bunch of seethrough scumbags.

I laugh in their faces.

[BobL]

If Chick-a-fill manages to double their throughput after this venture into politics (which is very likely). They should then look into their next venture - perhaps saying that Illegal Aliens are ILLEGAL!!!

Now that would REALLY rock the Dems - they’ll spend weeks just trying to figure out how to respond.

[IronJack]

I think the media are (intentionally) missing a subtle but important point: the huge turnouts at Chick-Fil-A's across the country are themselves "protests." They're conservatives protesting the unconscionable bullying this chain has experienced since the CEO's announcement. But more than that, they're protesting the harassment, intimidation, lies, and perversion to which they've been subjected for years.

I've often said that the liberals will rue the day they awaken the sleeping Middle Class giant. It appears that they've played "chicken" once too often.

[JimRed]

fil-A restaurants around the country on Wednesday faced long lines of customers and packs of protesters...

I guess they regard the extra customers who otherwise might not have been there as protesters. Hey, they're right- I went out of my way to eat there twice this week, to protest the homosexual Nazis.

Homosexual, because there's nothing GAY about it!

[Twinkie]

We went to Chik-fila today for brunch. I saw no signs posted in the place reading “Homosexuals Not Welcome”, nor did I see “We reserve the right to refuse to serve homosexuals” signs. - These people just want DRAMA and to be a part of what they perceive to be history. - They’re welcome to come eat lunch at Chik, just like the rest of us are. Mr. Cathy just donates to children’s homes instead of LGBT organizations. - They’re welcome to frequent and support the places that donate to LGBT causes. I try to live and let live; so should the LGBT crowd.
