It is just after 11:30 on Friday night and Adam Smith has sent an email with a link to his official video response to the all of the events that followed his protest of Wednesday‘s ’Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.’ The clip, nearly eight minutes in length, opens with an apology to Rachel, the woman who was working the window at the drive-thru.

"Looks like they spend a lot of time having cocktails and telling each other how fun it is to be Godless."

Hmm..."Drinking Godlessly." A raving leftist associate of mine conducts similar gatherings at the local watering hole, and calls the organization "Drinking Liberally." It would appear alcohol and herd mentality are necessary components of their belief system.

Oh man, who hasn’t done something incredibly stupid that they later regretted? I feel for the guy but that showed an incredible lack of critical thinking skills. The company had to let him go.

I thought his ‘apology’ video was an attempt to position himself for a new job. It is possible Rahm Emmanuel might have a position for a guy with those approved Chicago style values.

looked like a lot of these guys from Vante came from IBM - including Adam Smith

i read where Vante was employee owned. I bet Smith has a piece of the company.

The great thing here is that he probably can’t draw unemployment since he got fired for cause.

Rules don’t apply for the Left. I am sure he will find a way around that.

another person that was on Vante’s site but isn’t now is

Norbert McLaughlin

Wonder if he asked for it to be taken off during this firestorm.

I was a managing director in a corporation. What you do, both on and off the job reflects on you as an individual, and to a degree on the corporation who hired you. You are a testament to their good judgement. At least, that’s how both I and the corporation I worked for looked at it.

Sure, we have a lot of fun amongst ourselves both on and off the job. It made for a great working relationship. But our “front” to the outside, both when working or at leisure, was always meant to reflect our position. It’s maturity, responsibility and good business.

It just seems to me, this Adam M. Smith has hit a few bumps along the process of maturing, and is more concerned with himself than those he represents. This is what Roger Vogel obviously saw, and didn’t like one bit. I can’t blame him.

If there is such a thing as a third gender, Adam Smith is the poster child. He is not a man.

“But when I got to your window, after seeing all the people in and outside the restaurant that came to support Chick-fil-A, I lost it. I just lost it. I couldn’t believe the number of people came out to support a corporation that associates themselves with anti-gay groups, like Exodus International and the American Family Association.”

Great advertising! Thanks, Adam!


In the words of Antoine Dodson, Adam Smith ..You are so Dumb.

Even openly gay Antoine Dodson showed support for Chick-fil-A.

As stand-in for Shepard Smith.

"I feel for the guy but that showed an incredible lack of critical thinking skills."

More accurately, the guy showed an appalling lack of humanity. It was disturbing to witness his eagerness in the run up to the confrontation. This is the Leftist Atheist future. "DELIVER UNTO ME MY FREE WATER, NAZARENE WENCH! AND BE QUICK ABOUT IT!"

"I am not a queer! There's not a bit of a gay in me!
(not that there's anything wrong with it!)"

Somebody needs to make that into a t-shirt.

It would appear alcohol and herd mentality are necessary components of their belief system.

Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? My bet would be on the atheism (or in your associate's case the raving socialism). Both, to me, connote someone with problems of identity and self worth that alcohol can seem ease to an extent.

Good! Rachael should be given his old job and he should be given hers! They are each suited for it.

I don’t think so. By all accounts, the CFA employees are polite. This guy is a jerk. (I hope you are not looking down on people who work in fast food establishments. That’s Leftist.)

Now watch as Ellen, Rosie and Anderson vie to get this clown on their shows and talk about how he was the victim.

This guy has managed to create strong bipartisan opposition. I read a couple of DU threads on this subject...they hate him almost as much as everyone here. And the comments section of his YouTube apology were running about 10-1 against him last night. He has no defenders.

Not interested.

He’s certainly old enough to have known better and thought that through and not done it in the first place.

He’s certainly old enough to have known better. What he did was too premeditated.
