      XPost: alt.politics.elections, alt.religion.christian.roman-catholic,       alt.politics.homosexuality       XPost: sac.politics       From: brownstew@gladd.org              By Todd Starnes              A group of gay Democrats got their feathers ruffled after a       Florida county decided to hold voter registration drives at       local Chick-fil-A restaurants.              The Stonewall Democrats seem to think the Pinellas County       Supervisor of Elections’ office is targeting Republican-leaning       voters.              Click here to join Todd’s American Dispatch: a Must-Read for       Conservatives!              Here's their rationale -- Chick-fil-A is owned by a Christian       family. And they run their business with Christian values.              So the gay Democrats seem to think that only conservative       Christians eat fried chicken and drink sweet tea.              It’s hard to believe such ignorant dunderheads exist.              “As an elected official, you have a duty to be evenhanded and       fair,” wrote Susan McGrath in a letter obtained by Creative       Loafing.              Ms. McGrath is the head of the Pinellas County Democratic       Executive Committee and the Stonewall Democrats, a pro-LGBT       equality group.              “Surely, you and your office staff do understand that using       Chick-fil-A as the base for voter registration activities is not       only inherently unfair but overtly partisan as well.”              The only thing unfair about Chick-fil-A is you can’t get a       chicken biscuit past 10:30 a.m. eastern time. That - and they       stopped selling their delicious coleslaw.              “This company has a strong and well-understood history of anti-       LGBT activism and is publicly associated with Republican Party       values,” McGrath wrote.              I still don’t understand why the LGBT militants have such a       problem with a plump juicy chicken breast tucked between two hot       buttered buns.              She went on to accuse Chick-fil-A of being a “right-leaning       business” and she alleged the voter registration efforts were       “targeting Republican-leaning voters.”              What in the name of Colonel Sanders is this lady talking about?       It sounds like she’s been smoking some of those eleven herbs and       spices.              I know, I know. Different chicken joint – but humor me.              For the record, Chick-fil-A is not about the left wing or the       right wing. It's about the chicken thing. And the sweet tea.              http://www.toddstarnes.com/column/dems-furious-at-chick-fil-a-       voter-registration-drive              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
