The store manager of a Chick-fil-A in Torrance says the restaurant was targeted by vandals overnight.
KNX 1070′s John Brooks reports a message that read “Tastes Like Hate” with a painting of a cow was discovered early Friday morning at the store located at 18200 Hawthorne Boulevard.
Workers quickly painted over the graffiti as Torrance police officers were called out to the scene sometime around 6:40 a.m., according to police.
Franchise owner Cole Donahoo said they never talk about politics, marriage or religion at the restaurant — they just serve food to anyone who comes in.
“We just don’t even discuss that here at the workplace,” said Donahoo. “Our goal is to serve great food with courteous service in a clean, hospitable environment.”
Friday also marks National Same Sex Kiss Day, which has been organized by gay and lesbian supporters to show “Chick-fil-A Our Thanks For Their Support Of Love, Equality, And The Real Definition Of Marriage,” according to the event’s Facebook page.
Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy has said he believes in the Biblical interpretation of marriage being between a man and a woman. The chain has also reportedly donated millions to anti-gay marriage groups in recent years, according to Equality Matters.
During the “kiss-in” planned for 5 p.m. Friday, gay and straight couples are encouraged to go to any Chick-fil-A location and take a picture kissing.
On Wednesday, thousands ate at Chick-fil-A locations around the country after Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee called for a national “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” to show support for Cathy.
However, Huckabee told KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO that freedom of speech — not same-sex marriage — is at the core of this controversy.
“This really isn’t about the chicken; it’s not even about the product. It’s just about whether the person who is the executive of a company can still speak his mind,” said Huckabee. “We expect that every day from the CEOs of Apple and Starbucks and Ben & Jerry’s, and it ought to be the same set of rules applied to a person who is a conservative, and in this case, an evangelical Christian.”
The Torrance Police Department is investigating the vandalism.
Id hate to find out the owner did this for publicity
Ya know.. I am really getting sick of being labeled a hater by haters...
I could give to flips what they do in their bedroom.. I just don’t care.
I also don’t care to hear about it all the time.
I see the deep feeling fair minded liberal left is at it again. Pushing the hate agenda to fire up their base. It will probably work on the fools.
That is my local Chick-Fil-A.
Lines were about 30 people outside door on Wed.
Ironic, rather hateful behavior on the vandalizer’s part.
I think today is a better day to go to CFA than the big support day. It would be great if TODAY was the day when they did the best business!
I’d go but there isn’t one within hours of me.
time to posse.
Methinks the “gay community” has popped the pin on a hand grenade. Unfortunately, they threw the pin and held the grenade.
I have noticed for the last few hours that this Adam Smith video (the one that various news services are linking to) appears to be “stuck” at 149,039 hits on my computer.

You don’t think YouTube would be suppressing hit counts, do you? Could it be my cookies or something?
They are the haters. They hate marriage. They want to re-define it until it is meaningless.
The hate is theirs.
Looks like they sent out a pro sign painter/vandal. Rather carefully done for graffiti.
They used to say, "What we do in the privacy of our own bedroom...."
But they're not happy with that now; they want to take it public...like with the queer parade they have each year here in San Diego. Why would they take public what they claim is private? It makes no sense.
Saw nothing about this on Fox, but the CNN report passed over the vandalism in a split-second and gave plenty of air time to the fat lesbian from Decatur GA who invited Dan Cathy to come to her house for chicken and “conversation.”
This location hasn’t even been open 6 months, I think. It’s very local to me, too. Bastards...
I went Wednesday night because there is one on my way home and I am going tonight because I have to go to the mall for some things. My daughter, granddaughter and I may go again tomorrow. I love their salads!
That's very doubtful. Every political assassination of the last 200 years has been the work of a leftist. Similarly, every crime of church arson and vandalism has been traced back to liberals for as long as such records have been kept. Mass murderers from Joseph Stalin (Communist) to Adolph Hitler (Socialist) and to, yes, Ted Kennedy (Socialist murderer and abortionist) are all liberals.
Conservatives are, by nature, law-abiding people who are obedient to God, respecting life and property. In the unlikely case that the Torrance Chick-Fil-A vandalism was an inside job, it's a safe bet that that the one involved (maybe a disgruntled employee) was a liberal sodomite.
Someone should find the fag that did this and ask him what he’s had in HIS mouth lately.
And how did THAT taste?
