Most gays went on Wednesday due to free speech so I doubt the 10 folks who are making the most fuss will make a dent.

“Will today’s Chick-fil-A ‘kiss-in’ be successful?”

It will succeed in getting the MSM attention “O” likes to pander to voters.

Of course the MSM will spin it HIS way.

When I swung by my local Chick-filet-A this morning on my way to work there were no “protesters”.

I voted “No” at 1:00 pm:

No (1,655 Votes)
Yes (121 Votes)
I don’t know (94 Votes)

Total Voters: 1,870

Yep, for Chick Fil A. I’m guessing more people will want to watch the kiss in and then they’ll go inside get some chicken.

If the MSM gets a single photograph of two gay people who don't look physically repulsive kissing (versus the Million-Chick-fil-A Customers line), they will say it was successful and plaster the photo on every newspaper's page one!

If you have to ask then you already have your answer.

If successful = large turnout, then no.

If successful = media coverage and free PR, then yes.

And, it will be even more successful if they can get just one example of hate towards the kissers.

It might be a video, picture or photo that will do the trick.

Or, they’ll stage an “attack”.

What did one lesbian frog say to the other lesbian frog? It DOES taste like chicken.

I had lunch at my local Chick-fil-A Wednesday, yesterday and today.

Wednesday was off the charts. Waited an hour. The place was mobbed (by a very polite mob)

Thursday seemed more like a regular day. Waited a few minutes, and everything seemed to be routine.

Today, business was up again. Not to Wednesday's level, but definitely more than yesterday. Waited about 15 minutes. They were busy, but keeping up. Saw one cup of Victory Water. Dude was such a loser, he couldn't even bring anybody with him to kiss, and I was not going to volunteer.

Like you say, “No”. I just came back from a Montgomery County, MD store which was still very crowded and there were no protestors.

The “buycott” of Chick-fil-A on Wednesday produced what the company will only describe as an “unprecedented day” for business. Today, we get the counter-protest...in the form of a “kiss-in” by gay couples angry about remarks made by company president Dan Cathy.

Will it be as successful?

LOL. Hundreds of thousands of people came out in support of Chic Fil A. Today, about 30 nasty, flaming homosexuals came out to flaunt their sex organs on the public street. Will the butt humpers protest be successful? If they pass out free fecal sandwiches or fisting kits to the liberal press, maybe. LOL

Just say NO to queerdom. Americans owe then nothing.

It will look bigger on TV than it actually is.

In Atlanta, they are planning an event at the CNN center building downtown from 5 to 9 PM.

This is a multi-story office building with a large atrium in the middle that has a food court on the bottom level. The building is difficult to access and (like most office buildings) empties out when everyone goes home for the evening. The protesters will, for the most part, have the food court to themselves.

And, of course, it houses the offices of CNN, who will surely be broadcasting the event live.

How do you define "success"?

If success means getting Mr. Cathy to recant and state publically that he supports Gay Marriage, then they will not be successful.

If success means getting a turnout as large as Wednesday's (or one tenth Wednesday's), then they will not be successful be either measure.

If success means getting pictures of same-sex smooching into the newspaper and the local news, they will be successful in that. I can't imagine what they think they will have accomplished, however.

Le Fags are not going to be spending much if any moola.

They will be trying to prove a point and not (NOT) supporting the business as our side did - by actually purchasing product.

Kiss this you mudda flocking dingbats! Lean over and grab yourself by the bootstraps and pull your heads out of that dark and dank crevasse you customarily place it in times like this.

I went to the local one today. There were four protesters outside. One was dressed like a cow and had a sign that said “HATE is a fowl business practice”. That is not original. I have seen it elsewhere on the internet. One of the local TV stations was filming them. The TV station was not there on Wednesday when I was there.

Business inside was MUCH less than Wednesday. It was back to normal, which means a short line that moves fairly fast. On Wednesday, there were easily several hundred waiting in line when I left the building.

Here’s the new attack strategy based on what I am seeing floating around the social networking sites: leftists are saying that it would have been nice to see lines to volunteer at soup kitchens rather than lines at Chick-Fil-A. Also, they are organizing some sort of food bank event to support equality. This tagline is some drivel like “They fed themselves to support Hate. Let’s feed others to support equality.”

Hilarious. They are actually attempting to chide a group that is far more charitable than they will ever be.

But that’s how they are going to attack now.
