Papa John’s becomes latest boycott target after opposing Obamacare; class warfare ensues

First Chick-Fil-A and now Papa John's is a target of boycott for opposing Obamacare.

Look for Pappa John's profits to soar.....

We ordered from them earlier this week.

Better intelligence.  Better insight.  Papa John's.

Has Papa Johns been added to the master list of companies the DUmmies are forbidden to patronize?

I love following @iowahawkblog...

First Chick-fil-A, now Papa John's. With luck, we can eventually get lefties to boycott food altogether.

Cutting and pasting on an iPad is a pain in the ass.

Are you saying Papa John is playing the DUmmies?  I think so too.  They may start teaching this in business school...how to start a liberal (who have no money anyway) boycott.

That is exactly what I am thinking. I feel that Chick-Fil-A invented something without trying. That is the best way to make huge profits. All you have to do is say something that enrages the liberals, forcing them to boycott you, which in turn will cause profits to go up.

Heck, that is economics 101 there. In fact, for my advanced economics class next semester, I am going to bring this up to the professor. It seems to be a pretty affective strategy.

I look for more companies to come out and do the same thing here. Look for it.

I have never had Papa John's pizza; but I've heard it's a great. There is not one in my town

Srsly?

You could do a lot worse.  Get extra garlic dipping sauce. 

[Kyle Ricky]

Yeah, Papa John's pizza is not all that great. Which could one of the reasons they are using this 'strategy'.

That garlic butter/sauce whatever is also good for cooking steaks or other meats, too.

I hate to sound arrogant, but I live around the food capital of the world especially when it comes to pizza, hot dogs, italian food etc. OMG at Papa Johns, the fact that some people actually order it around here makes one say "out of towners". I had it once just to try it and it was horrible.

I live in a food desert when it comes to chain restaurants or any other restaurants for that matter.

Pizza is limited Papa John's, Monical's , Pizza Hut, and Dominoes.  We don't have much else for pizza places.

If the rest of the country wants pizza, Papa John's is about the only place to go.

I miss real NY style piazza but the last decent restaurant left here about thirty years ago.

[Revolution]

I had a piece of NY pizza when I went. God forbid, I'll come across the corner place I got it near the Hotel Pennsylvania next time I get back there. Thick, soft crust, excellently melted cheese, herby, just right sauce, and sausage disks that were huge. The whole thing was just yummy. The next time I go in some months, I may just order a whole pie, and eat heavenly in my hotel the few days I'm there.

I can't help but laugh at any fast food boycott and it only adds to the fact I don't know what any of these restaurants are.

My first thought when reading "Chick-fil-a" was  and promptly "am I pronouncing that right?".

Seriously how much fast food is there in the US? Within 50 km of me we have McD's, KFC and Tims and nothing else. Maybe it's just my province not being on the border but still :/

Considering how well it's worked for Chick-fil-a I wouldn't blame any business for trying to start a boycott right now.

I totally get that, it's just that around here most of the pizza places are owned by people from NY or NJ. we have the best pizza around, yet people still go to places around here like Pizza Hut and Papa Johns.

My Cousin moved to the mid-west about 20 years ago, she's from NY and her kids were born in the mid-west, they come back to NY once a year to visit family and her girls go nuts over the pizza.

Now I really want pizza.  Thanks.

[Karin]

Ballygrl, you said that it was horrible.  I've never tried it, but the pictures look good.  What specifically was so horrible about it?

It's funny that the NY pizza talent migrated over to NJ.  When I lived in CT, it was impossible to find a good pizza (or good bagels, either).  The crust would be burned on the bottom or taste like cardboard, it would be over-sauced, or it would have the fresh mozz on it, which is flavorless.  Bleh.  I wonder why NJ got the talent, and not CT.  Strange. 

We have oceans of Italians here in north country.  Getting great pizza is no problem.  In our tiny village, our pizza shop is owned by actual Italians who can barely speak English.  Grandma's even puttering around the kitchen.

Damn, pretty soon those little libbys aren't going to have anything good to eat
