Gay marriage activists are planning to swarm Starbucks on Tuesday in an attempt to counter the record sales from last week’s Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.
The chicken chain enjoyed a surge of support during the Wednesday event, dreamed up by former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee after Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy went on the record backing the “biblical definition of the family unit.”
A follow-up protest from Chick-fil-A critics on Friday, which was dubbed Same Sex Kiss Day, was more subdued.

let the perverts have starbucks swill.
Dunkin donuts is far better coffee anyway.
What is this, their fifth attempt at countering Chick-fil-A Day, now?
The only people who will be inclined to go to “Starbucks appreciation day” are the people who already go there every day anywise.
CFA appreciation day worked because there was a genuine issue-oriented concern about the gay agenda and about free speech that brought out a lot of folks who’d never eaten there before, or who don’t eat there regularly.

Translation: The Kiss Day was a total flop.
The LAT is laughable.
All this crap is ridiculous. I wish these damn places would just serve food. My goodness they are food service places. I supported Chick-Fil-A last Wednesday happily because of the witch hunt, but let’s stop this junk. Every week we are going to have another fight? The problem I have with this is that it will devalue to work done at CFA.

Swarm? I guess that means 2 more people than last Friday’s protest.
On my way to McDonald’s which was he best deal even before the recent discount.
I always avoid Starbucks because the coffee tastes terrible, and it costs too much. Today I will avoid Starbucks because of all the perverts that might be there.
no kidding! That’s what i was thinking.
Brewing my own coffee. Funny, I was considering stopping at a Starbucks today because today is going to be a long day, thought a little extra pick me up would be nice. Not so much now. Guess that simple decision makes me what, anti gay in their eyes because I’m not supporting them?
I NEVER understood how Starbucks could sell that coffee. It’s horrible - tastes like a great big cup of burnt. They can have it.
Fixed it.
I drove past a Starbucks on my way to work.
Usually, the drive-thru is full of cars but today I only saw one.
I will go to CFA to show my appreciation for Starbucks Appreciation Day. I don’t drink coffee so will have a peach shake instead.
I agree. McDonald’s coffee is alot cheaper and tastes alot better, although this morning I have Chick-Fil-A coffee...........and my personal favorite......the spicey chicken bisquit.
If you miss the taste of Starbuck’s coffee, I would suggest substituting with a cup of road tar or asphalt driveway sealant.
That said, need to go brew my Eight O'Clock Dark Eyetalian Roast...
The more that the Sodomites scream and go into fascist mode, the more people wake up to what is happening to America!
That’s going to be a real draw for Starbucks.
“Stop in for coffee today, our places will be full of militant queers!”
Baristas, meet drama queens.

Can I have wawa instead?
Well, it’s good to see the leftist freaks playing defense, catch up, and doing it poorly. It’s good to see the media trying to help them and failing. Gives one hope, doesn’t it?
How can you tell from their regular customers?
I guess I won’t be visiting tarbucks or (Dunkin Donuts if they are going to be packed with homosexuals.
When I visit friends in Las Vegas I join them for their daily Starbuck’s ritual. I.E. recite the coffee Nazi order, pay for a wildly overpriced cup of swill, then meet friends and air-kiss on the veranda. I excuse myself and walk across the street to the gas station for an 89 cent cup-a-joe then rejoin them for some scintillating conversation.
Nothing warms my heart quite so well as drinking from a Fabulous Freddie's coffee cup while sitting in front of Starbuck’s.
Starbucks didn’t show much enthusiasm about being chosen as the object of the protestors affection.
Starbucks stood up for the second amendment I seem to recall.
That being said, they really sell badly over roasted (burnt coffee beans) coffee for way too much money.
DD coffee sucks, but I’ll do McD’s.
When we go there to meet with some folks every few weeks I will always walk in with my C-f-A bag'o'goodies AND have observed the S'Bux employees doing the same...
Agreed - where I go anyway.
And I think it is very telling that Starbucks itself more or less blew the gays off on this one; did not want the spotlight on their company, and aksed that the LGBTs include the myriad of other pro-gay companies and NOT call it “Starbucks Appreciation Day”.
I think I’ll have lunch at Chick-Fil-A today.
The economy must be doing better than we think - could Zero be right?!? - if everyone can afford coffee at a 500% markup.
The great economic minds of FR researched coffee retailers once. We discovered that Starbucks gets the most cups from a pound of beans of any major retailer.
McD’s here is giving away free coffee all week.
It’s bad busiess. Hey Starbux, hire me as a consultant and I’ll tell you how to grow revenue: stop pissing off half of your potential customers.
Every time they do a ‘maybe-THIS-will work’, it spotlights just how desperate they are for - WHAT? - nobody can define what, exactly it is that will FINALLY get the little pissants to STFU.
(Gay marriage activists are planning to swarm Starbucks on Tuesday in an attempt to counter the record sales from last week’s Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.)
So roughly 1 percent of the population is going to try and out spend 85 percent of the population in one day sales??
Yes these people really are that stupid................
I wonder if they will swallow their ideology and come out for Starbuck's Gay Day?
(A follow-up protest from Chick-fil-A critics on Friday, which was dubbed Same Sex Kiss Day, was more subdued.)
Now don’t be a lying sack of crap.
The homosexual kiss day was -AN EPIC FAIL!!!
Already been to Dunkin Donuts for a coffee today...
But that is nothing new as I have never been in a Starbucks and never intend to be..............
It's becoming a business liability to be publicly "appreciated" by the homosexual movement.
Blood and treasure, of course. Historically, blood and treasure are the end that any radical movement seeks for. Nothing else-not even total, unconditional acceptance-will suffice. And once they get it, they will want nothing but more of it.
Their plan will be to come up with a small number of Starbucks in different cities, throw in a lot of people at say 11:30 or 12:30 and have the press waiting and ready with cameras. It's be staged. Faked.
To fill out the ranks we'll see old ACORN folks, union guys, paid DNC staff - the usual 'rent a crowd'. ..It'll be so different than our grassroots demonstration that anyone with half a brain will see it... Oh, and the press won't notice the difference...
“.....daily Starbuck’s ritual: i.e. recite the coffee Nazi order, pay for a wildly overpriced cup of swill, then meet friends and air-kiss on the veranda....excuse myself and walk across the street to the gas station for an 89 cent cup-a-joe.....”
Heh, heh!
;^)
And this crowd would make me want to go to a Starbucks?!?
don’t forget:
Open your Mac, read the New York Times online and complain openly about that right wing extremist Mitt Romney.
Hummmmm, countering an already popular chicken restaurant with a cultish, overpriced/underquality coffee house.
Calling national attention to Starbucks pro same-sex marriage stance to the millions who might otherwise known about it, like the folks who came out in support of CFA last week.
In their fervor to put CFA “out of business” the just might do irreparable harm to their favorite bath house...er...hangout.
Those ugly “unintended consequences” are revisiting the left again.
..and they will fight and litter...
