I myself had wondered if that crew had anything on their minds.

Wow, retroactive offending. Isn't the Chik-fil-A issue only a few weeks old? I think I want him as VP - especially if he can see into the future.

It’s impossible not to offend the permanently offended crowd.

No kidding. He should at least be National Security Advisor. Think of all the intel he could provide with his clairvoyance.

Except for Allen West, which demonstrates that it's not because they're black, but because they're wacko Democrats.

Yeah sure, they were offended, but what else is new? I mean, isn’t it basically the CBC’s job to get offended?

What I’d like to know is, how many of them were so offended that they did not end up eating the Chik-Fil-A anyway? I guarantee they didn’t let all that good food wind up in the dumpster.

What offended them? Was it because it was DIFFERENT fried chicken with collard greens (this is what Hastings said) that they usually have or that Chick-Fil-A has the same belief of Traditional Marriage that their Black Pastors do?

Actually, it’s been going on for a while now. The majority of our population paid no attention until a couple of weeks ago.

Everyone is so quick to mock the CBC. What if this had happened to the Congressional WHITE Caucus??? Oh, wait, I forgot.....

Were they offended because it was grilled chicken instead of fried?
