Initially I wondered if the SPLC donation was a Jesse Jackson style extortion plot, but the payout was only $2500.
Sure is sad for CFA to lose so much credibility over about 30 seconds worth of profit.
I was somewhat ambivalent about the initial story. Part of it is the right of a private company to spend their foundation money any way they wish and part of it was my supposition that the whole controversy was just SJW’s being SJW’s and lying about everything. But supporting SPLC changes the game a lot.
Dan Cathy has a choice to make. He needs to make a very strong public statement and get rid of the staff and executives who control the foundation, or he should immediately sell the company and cash out.
I’ve had a very small personal correspondence with him and left impressed. I hope he does the right thing (choice one)
Some other freepers also were hesitant to believe the CFA story. The media does spin stories. But now, the story is looking pretty clear.
Yes, come to think of it, $2500 would be a small payout for extortion.
But to donate anything to SPLC and then never contact FRC after the shooting...? That was just cold.
