Chic-fil-a lies again: "A Big Loophole? Chick-fil-A Is Already Raising Questionable Money"

http://www.advocate.com/business/2012/09/20/chick-fil-raising-money-very-week-anti-marriage-equality-group

Although Chick-fil-A supposedly assured a Chicago alderman that it would stop donating to antigay groups, this week it held a fundraiser for one anyway.

The fast food chain promised in a letter to Alderman Proco "Joe" Moreno, reported by the Chicago Phoenix, that it would end giving to any groups with "political agendas," implying it had stopped a practice that had led to about $5 million for antigay groups. But there might be a loophole.

Although the company's foundation might not be donating directly, Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy tweeted a photo on Tuesday from the 2012 WinShape Ride for the Family. He wrote alongside the picture of a pack of motorcyclists: "WinShape Ride for the Family bikers locked and loaded for 200 mile ride to Wilmington out of Charleston."


I knew that shizz wouldn't last a week. More at the link.

encouraging OTHERS to donate the money.

Oh, gee, that makes it all hunky-dory, now, doesn't it?

besides. Sticking their fingers into where the cash goes, sponsoring satellite events... no they're not involved...much... except up to the eyebrows.

Typical fundy hypocrites.
