Gay activists counter Chick-fil-A with Starbucks appreciation day (Dunkin Donuts coffee day today)
LA Times ^ | 8/6/2012

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.

I, for one, think that today would be a good day to drink Dunkin Donuts coffee. It would be funny if Starbucks' numbers were down on their "appreciation day"

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.

“A follow-up protest from Chick-fil-A critics on Friday, which was dubbed Same Sex Kiss Day, was more subdued.”

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.

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.

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.

If you miss the taste of Starbuck’s coffee, I would suggest substituting with a cup of road tar or asphalt driveway sealant.

For all their empty bluster about being genuine grass-roots...can the liberals give us those details again on how the astro-turf so-called "coffee party" worked out as a counter to the Tea Party?

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.
