The Blaze Interviews the Guy Fired for Berating a Chick-fil-A Employee
The Blaze.com ^ | 8-3-12 | Mike Opelka

Should someone be fired from their job and threatened with violence, torture, even death because they have an opinion different than yours? Of course not. And yet, that is what Adam M. Smith of Arizona says happened to him.

Adam Smith’s life has been turned upside-down in the 36 hours that followed his posting the video of his protest at Chick-fil-A, which involved letting a young, female employee at the drive-thru know what he thinks about the company.

First off, Adam Smith is a fool if he thinks reasonable people will buy into his baloney re: his "original intent."

Second, he attempts to place at least some of the blame at the feet of his "inspiration," Jackson Pearce. While I strongly recommend you watch the video posted at the Blaze website that she created, I also beseech you to look at the follow-up, which can be found HERE. See if you notice the same things I did.

I don’t believe him that he has been threatened.

Liberals have a really hard time with irony, don't they?

Adam Smith is a fool

The 'invisible hand' smacks down a fool who doesn't understands market forces.

Claiming that they’ve received death threats is an age old tactic of the left used to evoke sympathy and shame their opponents into silence.

This guy was fired because he took out his frustration on a young employee instead of dealing with the Chick-Fil-A corporate management in a proper fashion. He was rude, obviously trying to elicit a response from the woman that he could get here in trouble on, and should know better for the level position he held. Would he want public person doing this to one of his employees?

The guy’s a jerk and deserved what he got. The Blaze is a left wing tool and will do anything, say anything, to trash America and Americans. They, and Smith are two of a kind. Bigoted, socialist liars.

In the old days, Adam would have been taught a lesson in getting his butt kicked by a boy friend or brother. AAHHH for the old days.

If he was threatened he needs to call the police. I doubt the claim. A guy that creepy could easily be a liar too.

Yeah, especially with their track record of going after Rush Limbaugh and conservative talk radio.

I thought he was fired for being an abusive bully, trying to intimidate a young woman. That has nothing to do with his opinion, only his contemptible conduct.

He is lucky that he does not live in a more chivalric age, or the consequences might be a bit more severe than losing a job.

He would never have been fired, except he was stupid enough to post a video of it on Youtube.

And that set forth a chain of events that led to the door of his employer.

In other words, he was an idiot for not just leaving it at the drive-thru window.

I didn’t want to register in order to leave a comment, but their “poll” is ridiculous. “Is it un-American, to be fired,arrested,threaten(sic) in any way, for making known your beliefs?” They’re too stupid to differentiate between GOVERNMENT actions and private actions.

He makes a big deal out of being married with 4 kids —hey it’s GREAT he adopted, but is he married to a woman or a MAN....?

Because I suspect he is married to man.

I think he’s a militant gay guy who “married” and is looking after these poor kids.

Why doesn’t the COLLEGE also fire him, huh?
