With Menino’s help, Mitt Romney can fil-A Barack (A slap at Shep Smith also)
Boston Herald ^ | 8/3/2012 | Howie Carr

Forget Eric Fehrnstrom and the rest of the Mitt Romney brain trust — the guy who’s done the most for the GOP candidate this week is none other than Mumbles Menino.

If the mayor can brainstorm up a few more Chick-fil-A’s, this election will be over by Labor Day.

Menino invented Chick-fil-A, you know. Maybe Mike Huckabee came up with the idea of a National Day of Appreciation, but the media needed a bloated cartoonish clod to put it across. And when it comes to clowns, the mayor arrives straight out of Ringling Bros., Barnum & Bailey.

He came up with such a bad idea that it went around the country in less than 48 hours, from Chicago to San Francisco to even the Fox News Channel, where Shep Smith sneeringly called the Chick-fil-A turnouts “National Intolerance Day.”

He’s one boringly careful dude.

While what you say is true, MissM, don't forget that at recently as this April Romney came out in favor of gay couples, and making it worse, he said that at state level gay couples should have the right to adopt children.

In the debates he said he's fine with open homosexuality in the military.

In the past he's told gay groups that he's their best friend, that as a republican he'll be able to accomplish things for their agenda that no democrat could get away with. So, let's not kid ourselves about Mitt Romney and gays.

Then there's Ann Coulter, who would have been all over this first amendment issue a few years back.

Can anyone point me to her biting review of those who've attacked Chick-fil-A?

Shep was behind me in the Monster seats at Fenway five years ago. He had a TRAY of beers. He was so Bleepfaced. Rumor in my neighborhood is Ed Markey is a Closet Case.

Margaret Marshall forced Gay Marriage on us. She was a Pink Floyd Weld appointee.

Mayor Mumbles Menino and Shep Scheiss-bag Smith should be pleased to know that as I read this article, an ad for Chick-Fil-A magically appeared below the article, courtesy, I suppose of another liberal icon’s business which tracks reader’s online habits. I’m sure that is what these paragons of virtue intended.

Agreed, and I trust the Lyin' Stream Media to report it in that context rather than as a "tolerance" issue 100%.

Yes, I am that stoopid!

A Mormon would be wise to avoid religious issues.

Yes, but many Christians don't think Romney is one of them. Supporting Chick Fil A would help.

So far Romney has been totally silent on the Chick-fil-A first amendment issue. He has shown no sign of support for Dan Cathy or the millions upon millions of traditional marriage supporters and free speech supporters who flocked to Chick-fil-A this week. I have not seen him with a CFA cup in his hand.

Why is that?

Could it be because he agrees with the homofascists who want to outlaw Chick fil A because they hold traditional values? Or could it be that our presumptive nominee is JUST PLAIN CHICKEN?

I personally would pass on the opportunity to "Tiptoe Through the Claymores."

I had Fox News on the day Obama ‘came out’ for gay marriage. The rest of the MSM had covered this hours earlier. When The Fox Report started, Shep led with this story, hours late. I guess he wanted to be the one to ‘break’ the gay marriage story on Fox.

Well that seems like a very narrow viewpoint to say that it's one or the other. I think it could easily be both.

Why be tolerant for things that we know are wrong?

That isn’t tolerance, that is stupidioty.I refuse to tolerate other people putting upon me.

My understanding is Shep Smith and Anderson Cooper are intimate friends. A wedding coming soon?

Thanks - I keep forgetting about Mitty's little gubernatorial job. Why would a Mormon be so pro-gay “rights”?

I a bit afraid to speculate why Romney, a Mormon, is pro-gay. I’ll probably be accused of being anti-Mormon, which I’m not. I’m anti-liberal

Perhaps he doesn’t really believe his religion. Perhaps Mormons actually have pro-gay theology that escapes the notice of those of us who really have little knowledge of the minute details of Mormon theology.

...or maybe Mitt’s never-out-of-place hairdo is a symptom of something a little light in the loafers.
