Related: About this forumChic-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-groupAlthough 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.

and constant fagbashing. My partner and I have had a CostCo membership for a while. (We like the coupons, too!)

encouraging OTHERS to donate the money.
Oh, gee, that makes it all hunky-dory, now, doesn't it?

(3,310 posts)5. Encouraging others AND making sure their logo is all over everything
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.

(3,310 posts)8. If they cross their fingers behind their backs
it's not a lie, right? Right?
MADem
(135,425 posts)9. Yep....I think that's just what they are doing, too! nt

....and then stab you in the back (amen) when your back is turned.

but I guess it's okay to lie if you think it is.
