The Blaze Interviews the Guy Fired for Berating a Chick-fil-A Employee
The Blaze.com ^ | 8-3-12 | Mike Opelka

Should someone be fired from their job and threatened with violence, torture, even death because they have an opinion different than yours? Of course not. And yet, that is what Adam M. Smith of Arizona says happened to him.

Adam Smith’s life has been turned upside-down in the 36 hours that followed his posting the video of his protest at Chick-fil-A, which involved letting a young, female employee at the drive-thru know what he thinks about the company.

Jackson Pearce is super-humanly annoying?

She speaks well but is as batty as an outhouse rat.

Amen to that !

And don't you know she heard a lot more, before and after TubeGuy.

She's been trained well, and/or has COMMON SENSE.

Agreed. Here’s a thought. You are upper management at Adam’s employer...and you see the video. Next question that leaps to mind....how is Adam going to treat co-workers that have differing opinions from his? That would certainly give me pause. This guy has “harassment” lawsuit stamped all over him. I say this was a wise preemptive strike.

There would be some kind of caller ID recorded on his phone, even if the calls were blocked, his phone would show the number of times he got blocked calls. No blocked calls, Mr. Smith? What would that tell us?

Considering Homeland Security's moral equivalence characterizations and the msm mischaracterizations of tea party violence, he may believe the negative propaganda and feel threatened.

Here's a quote from the Blaze:

Because his home address was made public, he cannot live in his house. (And Mr. Smith is a married father of four – two of his children are adopted, special needs kids.)t
This is the contrived world the left created and now has to figure out how to deal with and live in. Clearly, this individual is experiencing quite a bit of difficulty navigating his imagined utopia where everyone can freely express their opinions (so long as they are all in agreement). LOL!

"Adam Smith’s life STORY has been turned upside-down..."

Now HE was the victim.
Our media is indomitable...

"He must be a swell guy to work with, or for."

I'm sure there were a few Vante employees who celebrated this a-hole's departure.

It seems he paid $597,781 for his house in 2006 which is now valued at $352,000 which is probably pushing it.

I actually disagree. I am a firm believer in if you act like an asshole you will be treated like an asshole. If you berate people, threaten them and basically act like an insane person you should EXPECT people to react negatively. If you are not willing to accept those consequences then maybe you should keep your mouth shut.

Alright, I finally watched this faggot’s video and truthfully, I didn’t see Smith coming off as threatening or anything. Just stupid. The guy is a hateful moron. Now that he’s lost his job I hope he loses his house, his savings, and his family. For the damage he wishes upon America through his support of the militant homosexual lobby and its radical agenda he deserves nothing less.

Typical liberal. Not his fault for starting the fight but it’s other people’s fault for ending it.

This guy is a bigger loser than Obummer.

I wouldn't go quite that far, LOL!

Obummer and his TOTUS do their share of bullying and badgering (albeit to a larger captive audience than his little acolyte, Adam Smith was able to pick on).

I suspect his wife is currently rethinking the atheist stance her husband talked her into as she watches his video contrasting the CFA employee’s demonstration of Christian values to her husband’s all the while listening to him whine about how unfair it all is in the background. I’ll bet that within months she’ll divorce him and rejoin the church bringing her kids along with her.

Those poor kids. I hope Tucson CPS is looking into these two creeps and their victims (er...I mean...their adopted children).

As it turned out, you are correct. But think of it from the young lady's point of view while the event is in progress. An obviously unbalanced, angry gentleman drives up with the excuse of asking for water at the window, and angrily berates her while filming himself. She's trapped there by training and good breeding. She may be wondering--what is he going to do next? End his tirade or shoot me? When someone is in your face for no reason, you never know how unbalanced he is. It's not just free speech or stupid speech.

I could only stand a couple of minutes of her video. She’s the kind of girl who spouts all of that spew then wonders where all of the good men are.
