Not all of the half-million plus people who reportedly visited Chick-fil-A restaurants on August 1st were there to support the company. There were a few folks who stopped by to protest the company. One such protester is Adam M Smith.
Mr. Smith is an Adjunct Lecturer at Eller College in Arizona and he also is the CFO of Vante, a catheter manufacturing company.
Apparently, Adam Smith is not a fan of the head of Chick-fil-A and he decided to let the company know how he felt. Smith sat in the drive through lane of a local franchise, intending to only order “free water” and give the company a piece of his mind.
In the video, initially titled ”Reduce $’s to Chick-Fil-A’s Hate Groups” – these points are worth noting:
•The college students that Smith sees off in the distance and speculates are getting ready to stage a sit-in, were most likely waiting to get into the movie theater they were standing in front of. •He tells the young woman working the window, “This is a horrible corporation with horrible values.” •He also goes out of his way to stress ,”I’m a nice guy, by the way… totally heterosexual. Not a gay in me, I just can’t stand the hate.” Not long after Smith posted the video on YouTube, it was removed.
However, other web users had already spotted the clip, copied it and reposted it, citing the ”Freedom And Innovation Revitalizing United States Entrepreneurship Act of 2007.”
We offer the re-posted video for your viewing pleasure.
Looks like a very weak link to our Mr Adams. Now maybe this is more than enough proof for Senator Harry Reid to make allegations, but I still say it is a bit weak for FReepers.
“””Thanks for considering taking my case on.
Regards, Mr. Smith in Arizona””
LOL!
Gone. Poof! Website scrubbed.
He needs to be outed to the Gay Civil Rights crowd.
Look at the user name on that site and then the user name on his youtube account.

They do have an Adam Smith listed as CFO.
Thanks for clarifying. I had overlooked the same username.
i’d date her...
I'll go out on a limb and guess "Not for Long".
Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see what happens to this clown. He’d better be one damn good CFO, or his ass is grass!
According to Vante's website, their CEO is a gentleman named Roger Vogel. I wonder if he'd be interested in the caliber of person he has reporting to him?
Earlier this morning, Adam Smith, with picture, was listed on the school’s faculty directory. I did send an email.
He doesn’t seem to be on the website any longer. It looks like he was scrubbed.
As of 11:15 am Pacific Time, he is still listed as CFO of Vante.
I called Vante, asked to speak with our hero Mr. Smith. The lady said that Mr. Smith was not taking calls, and she would forward me to human resources. I left a message. I don’t think they will return my call.
Oh my goodness, it IS gone. That was quick! LOL.
I suspect he’s not a very good financial guy. He’s probably skidding by on the company’s good fortunes. He’s totally confused about values.
He disagrees with Dan Cathey’s personal values. So, he attacks CFA financially by forcing them to give him a free water. Wow, that’s gotta hurt CFA!
He planned this attack, complete with a video commentary.
He completed the attack.
He didn’t recognize how badly he failed, even after reviewing his own video.
He’s so blinded by his own rage that actually posted the video along with his corporate & university contact info dragging those 2 organizations into his cesspool.
How on earth can Vante or Arizona U rationalize keeping someone so stupid?
