TUCSON, AZ--(Marketwire - Aug 2, 2012) - The following is a statement from Vante:
Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.
The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.
We hope that the general population does not hold Mr. Smith's actions against Vante and its employees.
The Nazi tactics are backfiring.
The gaystapo hoped they had tradition-loving Americans running in fear, but yesterday’s groundswell protest by the common man proved them wrong.
Here’s hoping the pushback continues right into the voting booth.
Yeah, too bad his fisking isn't over...he's also 'employed' by the University of Arizona, who should have dumped him immediately.
Haha!
You keep talking, we say...Bye..Bye.
LOL!
The Feds and Arizona would be very wise to check out any weapons this puke may possess. He’s the kind of freak that will go off on others when his queer little ego is hurt.
>> Their server is now down for maintenance,
It’s just overtaxed; when you get that error hit refresh a couple times and the page will eventually load (at least it does for me).
Just tried it again; he’s still on there.
I bet they’re getting more hits (and calls and emails) today than they have in their entire corporate life!
Not traumatized by the incident. I am sure they were prepped.
I am talking about the worldwide aftermath.
Liberal heads exploding...LOL! Perhaps we should have an appreciation day for this company that fired the little cad.
Whoa, that was quick! Mr. Smith is having a Very Bad Day. What Hunter Thompson termed a Million Pound Sh!thammer has descended on a deserving head. BTT.
It was reported on Reuters =

I called the company and left a message giving them cudos. Yes, we have the right to our opinions, but an officer of a company does not film himself publicly berating a poor girl at the counter of another business.

I'll believe it when it happens, we are talking about an Indoctrinate U.
Wait until he gets home and his butt buddy finds out he got his sorry a$$ fired .... will probably be a little queer on queer hate crime at the homestead.
Well he can always get free water at CFA.
Congratulations.
We’re shortening the dismissal cycle time. In this case, less than one business day.
“I dunno... she looked surprised, but not traumatized”
I agree. She had to have known a strange person, who had been in line for long time and only ordered a water, was next up to her window. In the video there was another person standing behind her right side. Her boss maybe?
>> I imagine there is pressure by Alumni of U of A to fire this professor.
Maybe, but it’s also a university, so I imagine there is even greater pressure from the Queer Lobby to retain and glorify him.
On the other hand, an “adjunct professor” paycheck won’t put much food on the table for him and his four kids and his... er... “partner”. :-)
The irony is this guy will sue for being fired for “speaking his mind” while he was protesting Mr. Cathy for “speaking his mind”.
They're in the process of scrubbing him away, but this was there a few minutes ago. I got this screen grab for posterity.
Oh yeah, its...
