COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The controversy over Chick-Fil-A president Dan Cathy's comments over gay marriage have come to the University of Maryland -- where students have started a petition to get the on campus location shut down.
Chick-Fil-A is called a "bigoted and hateful organization" in a petition started by students at the University of Maryland.
The petition goes on to say that allowing the company to continue operating on campus goes against the "spirit of equality that the university claims to champion."
Kick those students off out of UM and move on.
ReplyDeleteMaybe chick-fil-a can sue ever one of the people that sign the petition for violating a persons free speech. THEN they can say they are hateful.
ReplyDeleteIf they wish not to but there, so be it. They have no right to petition a company with an established record of good products and service. Another bunch of liberal O'Malley jerks.
ReplyDelete3:38, They have every right to petition a company if they so please. Freedom of speech doesn't only work in your direction, jerk.
ReplyDeleteWhere do I sign?
ReplyDeleteUM will be a sweet little place to go to school if this keeps up.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I notice the most is that the left is intolerant. If they don't like what you say or think they will label you a hate group.
ReplyDeleteLet them have their little hissy fit. Freedom of speech does work two ways and it's why Chick-fil-a did so well after Mr. Cathy was attacked.
Here in America we allow free speech for all and if you don't like it please leave. We do not need you here.
They only have 700 signatures from a school population of 37,000! I think the petitioners are getting theur answer right there! What a JOKE!
ReplyDeleteIF they don't like Chick-Fil-A then can go eat elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteAren't those businesses on campus under contract to be there?
What ever happened to them embracing diversity? Isnt this the liberal mantra? I swear liberals do have a mental disease or they are just plain old ignorant. They can't even think straight. Out of one side of their mouths they want everyone to 'embrace diversity" and out of the other it's "you better think the way we do or else."

Sounds to me like you are the joke you idiot rainbow lover.
No more tax dollars for UMD.
ReplyDeleteQuestion, why all the hate towards Chick -fil- a from the community of homosexuals? They are voicing their opinion just like you do each day? You fight for equality with an argument of inequality...kind of hypocritical in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteTo 3:38 #2. This is 3:38 #1. You are correct in your statement on my comment. Freedom of speech , is indeed important. So what is your point about what Mr. Cathy said? I truly believe I'am not the jerk in this comment. Does Mr. Cathy also have freedom of speech as well?
ReplyDeleteIf the location is shu down it will adversely affect the students but not chick fil a they already proved that
ReplyDeleteWould the 90% of people like to go against the homo's and see if they like it!
ReplyDeleteFunny how the group that started the petition has no affiliation with UMD or students whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know homosexuals hated chicken so much. The shooter in D.C. did have Chik-fil-a sandwiches for everyone he wanted to kill.
They are alarmists and it backfired on them big time! Now they are becoming militant.
3:38 #1. You went fishing and caught the biggest liberal fish that would bite. I agree with you. Why petition a company on grounds of freedom morals. It is not a petition of freedom of speech at all. So 3:38 #2 you are totally off base with your liberal, head-up- somewhere butt.
ReplyDeleteI am sure Chick-fil-a are shacking in their shoes, what happened last time it was sturred up... More sales than ever. Lets keep this up, they will be richer than gas companies.
ReplyDeleteStupid Liberals
Chick Fil A donates money to organizations that lobby for maintaining practices in Africa where homosexuals are murdered.
ReplyDeleteYou can speak of a "double-standard," where liberals supposedly bash those who have views different from their own but perhaps because it concerns an organization that contributes to murdering gay people.
Cathy does have a right to free speech, just as others have a right not to eat at Chick Fil A or start a petition.

ReplyDeleteAnother liberal smear/scare tactic based on lies.
The Winshape Foundation is a Chik Fil A Charity. They do not murder homosexuals in Africa. It amazes me you would suggest that. It's near criminal for you to write it and Sickening that you believe it.
You really support deviant sex practices of homosexuals so much you will resort to idiot lies to fan the false flames of hatred to support your cause?
Winshape is a scholarship benefactor, youth camp financier, International food, medicine and clothing distribution ministry that supports traditional family values.
Their integrity is unquestionable
which is more than anyone can say for you.
I say we all go to Chick-Fil-a on Tues in a show of support.Cram that place 2 deep.
ReplyDeleteWell, eff umd!
ReplyDeleteoh god, this again? chick fila sucks, has subtle bigoted views (like all people who believe marriage still has some sanctity left in this world) and the people offended by it are also dumb. end of story. everyone in this nation is turning into a moron who just wants to argue for the sake of arguing.
ReplyDelete10:10 looks like you are leading the charge. 8:01 you're a moron.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder their is no jobs and the United States is in such a debt. They keep kicking companies out of the united states.
ReplyDeleteComes from too many liberal professors...suppose to be teaching the kids not trying to stir up more grief.....there's a reason gays were in a "closet"!
