Maybe Chick-Fil-A can practice "Love your enemy" by hiring him ... I did suggest that to a Chick-fil-A employee and a manager. they both laughed, then got thoughtful looks and allowed that it was a good idea.

Says you. What I remember is going to the "support Chick-Fil-A night and standing in line for over an hour to get food." I remember everyone standing there, very patient, and loving the chance to do so. Yeah, I was there too.

This story has been posted probably 20 times in the past few days. I wonder why?

He’s a liberal, and being liberal means never having to say, “I’m Sorry”

They serve chikin, not crow. I believe that comrade Smith prefers crow.

Yet it’s not an important story - the constant mastication of it is puzzling.

practice "Love your enemy" by hiring him ... Sure. Make him work his way to the top, by starting as a fry cook.

From the article..
“At the time, Chick-fil-A was facing a huge public backlash for its financial support of anti-gay groups and for the company president's remarks against gay marriage”
This is the media bubble. They believe the things that motivate them are the same as what motivates the general public

"At the time, Chick-fil-A was facing a huge public backlash for its financial support of anti-gay groups and for the company president's remarks against gay marriage."
As you noted, this line has been re-written.
Let's think for a moment of what it would look like if written by a more objective journalist:
"At the time, Chick-fil-A was experiencing a huge groundswell of support and record business days in reaction to gay organizations' attempts to stifle the company's freedom of association and support of traditional Judeo-Christian values."

Why does he not send his resume to Apple? He won’t get hired as a CFO, but I presume he’d be warmly received (given their CEO), and probably get a decent paying job.

There is a huge difference between the two in my opinion. The Mozilla guy donated his own money, privately - to a “non-PC” organization. The Chick-Fil-A idiot went out of his way to film and post a video in an effort to ridicule an innocent worker of a restaurant, based on his disagreement with the CEO’s beliefs. As others have already pointed out, this was incredibly bad judgement, which the business used as their rationale to excuse him.

if you lose your job over your words there is no free speech. Discussing an idea or an opinion in a suitable public forum, or in a forum you purchased (say an advertisement) are several forms of free speech.
Being publicly rude to a lowly employee, likely a teenager who has no influence on the company's policies, shows incredibly bad judgement. It sounds like he paid the price.

"

Keeps the potential straight competition from real families down, doesn't it. He's special, while hypocrites continue to call for straight, common Americans to be cut off from living altogether.
He's not very honest, either. Look and listen to what he is.

And the posted piece is a plea to homo-companies to hire him and to work economically against straight companies.
No Starbucks. No Apple. And keep an eye on the medical racket. Most of it is as queer as a three dollar bill and hateful to real straight family men.

If I was the cashier, Mr. Smith would have been missing a few teeth. I don't have that much patience with arrogant slobs like him.
To: fatnotlazy
There is no freaking way he would have picked on someone that was bigger than him (I’m assuming you are a large man). He picked on a young woman, much like Kanye West picked on Taylor Swift. Ol’ Kanye wouldn’t have done that to a man.

This is the first time I’ve seen it so I’m glad it’s been posted a few times. Unfortunately, your link was removed. I wanted to go back and read the comments. Some of you people could be comedy writers.
