It is just after 11:30 on Friday night and Adam Smith has sent an email with a link to his official video response to the all of the events that followed his protest of Wednesday‘s ’Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.’ The clip, nearly eight minutes in length, opens with an apology to Rachel, the woman who was working the window at the drive-thru.

To be honest, I cannot watch the video because 1) I want to keep my appetite and 2) this guy is not sorry. He is sorry for posting it, because it got him fired and, if what has been said elsewhere is true, he is looking at the business end of homelessness for himself and his family.

Yeah, Yeah, He’s just sorry he lost his cushy job.

It’s a great lesson: Engage brain before putting mouth in gear.

He's sorry because he lost not just his job but his career.

He is basically unemployable now as a financial executive.

I won’t watch the video either but 8 minutes is strongly suggestive of a high BS component. A sincere apology only takes a few heartfelt words and/or commitment to make amends.

Well, we should all just tell him that we will pray for him.

Coals of fire...

The homosexual marriage issue may have had nothing to do with Adam Smith’s harrassment of a low level employee at Chick-fil-A.

Check out this site:

A bit of atheism on the home front may have been a greater contributing factor towards Adam’s indiscretion that lead to his self-imposed economic hardship.

His wife will probably leave him..and with good reason.

Take a look at this youtube.

Smith is telling the cross bearer that he is an atheist.

Smith’s actions are more like those of a militant atheist than a homosexual activist.

And has no need of whys and wherefores.

One can only wonder how many people he bullied or berated (while he was employed) in the work environment? He’s probably afraid many others will step forward with stories not unlike his encounter with Rachael.

That smarmy POS is not in the least bit remorseful of his actions. What he is remorseful about, is that it cost him his job.

WOULD YOU HIRE A MAN THIS STUPID?

Adam Smith may have been a CFO but he doesn't seem to be too smart or much of a forward thinker. A man at that level in life should know better than to mess with people who prepare your food out of your sight.

Now every fast-food joint and restaurant in Tucson will have his photo posted and will include a present for him with all future food orders.

thanks for finding that. Yesterday, When I found the site where his wife is an atheist..it all came together.

They adopted a son from Kazakstahn - but I couldnt find anything about him being special needs.

They also had a set of twins.

This guy has just learned a hard life lesson.

Gays did themselves in, led over the cliff by the “Obama Democrat” mayors of Chicago, Boston, Washington, DC and San Francisco. This CFA week was not good one at all for the Gay community. Obama abandoned you folks like bad habit!!! Romney did not need to say a word. the game went totally his way without him opening his mouth. Not a bright group of folks, these Gays, after all!!!

Just like many Jewish folks in Nazi Germany believed Adolf Hitler was just ranting a bit about Jews. History repeats itself, and the Gay community fell into it, thinking, boy...we got us some power now!!!! Wrong!!! All the Gays did was to join Black America adrift at sea for their undying loyalty to Obama, who has thrown them under the bus from the gitgo!!! Sad sacks, both groups Go figure..

He says that the corporation Chick Fil A is against the gay community. Tell me again how the personal opinion of the CEO of CFA has any bearing on the gay community? Do they not serve chicken sandwiches to gay people?

He is a slimy little metrosexual crapweasel. The great thing here is that he probably can’t draw unemployment since he got fired for cause.
