The right-wing is trying to re-create the Tea Party movement with the Chik-Fil-A controversy.
Right-wing radio is all over the story They are attempting to stir up a certain portion of their base for the election in November. Don't fall for it. Don't give them the satisfaction of playing these people like pawns once again. Don't eat their chicken. Let them say whatever they want to say. It's a trivial story that they are trying to build into something larger. Just tell them, "Enjoy your chiken!"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021061226Let's see if I get this correct:
Queers use their 1st Amendment rights to petition for queers marrying queers...
...but conservatives started the fight because they decided to not agree.
Sandra Fluke is part of a fake hearing where she declares she needs $3,000 worth of man-cock each year...
...but it's conservatives who manufactured the whole "War on Women" contraceptive battle.
The government throws out the Constitution, federal law and case precedent to trample the rights of Catholics and others...
...but it's conservatives who are to blame for daring to react.
Palestinians gun down women and children...
...but the Jews are provoking the intifadah when they target the leadership of Hamas.
Obama spends trillions of dollars a year beyond what we can afford...
...but conservatives fabricated unnecessary and racially-motivated budget battles.
I propose we never, ever refer to these idiots as liberals ever again. To be liberal is to be generous and open, by definition.
But as is becoming increasingly evident from these incessant "Your reaction to me is an attack on me" modalities is the fact the one thing these people are NOT is open or generous. They will not accept dissent. Whether its Harry Reid's guilty-until-proven-innocent allegations or Emmanuel's threat against lawful businesses over politics these "people" will dictate what you can say, watch or read if given half a chance. The unending calls for boycotts and censorship campaigns aren't just rowdy activism. They want government censorship with the "Fairness" Doctrine and hate speech laws.
They will send men with badges and guns to shut you up.
