Tax records show Chick-fil-A donated to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in 2017, an anti-Christian group that lists any organization disavowing same-sex marriage as a “hate-group,” including churches, according to Townhall.com.
According to the Chick-fil-A Foundation’s 2017 IRS 990 form, the fast-food corporation gave $2,500 to the SPLC. It was the SPLC that motivated a terrorist shooter in 2012 to launch an assault on the Family Research Council with a semi-automatic pistol, 100 rounds of ammo, and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches.
“Southern Poverty Law [Center] lists anti-gay groups. I found them online,” said the shooter in an interrogation video made public by the FBI, adding that his plan was to “kill as many as possible and smear the Chick-fil-A sandwiches in victims’ faces, and kill the guard.”
Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council condemned the donations to SPLC and called for a Christian boycott of Chick-fil-A.
“Not only has Chick-fil-A abandoned donations to Christian groups including the Salvation Army, it has donated to one of the most extreme anti-Christian groups in America. Anyone who opposes the SPLC…is slandered and slapped with the ‘extremist’ label or even worse, their ‘hate group’ designation,” Perkins said. “It’s time for Christians to find a fast food alternative to Chick-fil-A.”

Wow. You've really thrown chick fila under the bus,haven't you?
ReplyDeleteI think Chick-fil-A threw themselves under the bus.
DeleteWho cares as long as their product is good? Very few of us,including myself,have any room to find fault.
ReplyDeleteYou just admitted to the world that you do not have any principles. Too bad you're not proud enough to put your name to it.
DeleteWho cares about Chick Fil A ? Really people ? The POTUS prefers McDonalds and KFC.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like Chick-fil-A was scamming the Christian community. That's a shame. We tried to support them because of their stand for Christian values, but it looks like we were being played (not the first time.)
Are we 'throwing them under the bus'? No, I don't think so.
Will we continue to actively support them? No, I don't think so.
"Fool me once.."
Blatant Fake News. The SPLC is in NO WAY anti-Christian. FAKE NEWS.
ReplyDeleteOh my, somebody is drinking the Kool-Aid!! :-)
DeleteI like many others support Chick-fil-A for their values. Yes Christian Godly values. Turn your back on the lord and we'll turn our backs on you.
ReplyDelete4:52 I think their values went down the tubes. While professing to have them they were secretly donating to the same people that want them gone. They played you and millions of others.
ReplyDeleteI'm a true believer of actions speak louder than words and so are millions of others. Time will tell.
DeleteIt will be interesting to see how their sales are here in the coming future.
DeleteChick-fil-a must be run by idiots.
ReplyDeleteThe SPLC, like the ADL, is just another Jewish organization setup to abrogate the rights of Americans until criticism of (((them))) is illegal.
