Dan Cathy (Chick-Fil-Hate) is at it again

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/27/dan-cathy-chick-fil-a-doma_n_3510449.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003&ir=Politics

The Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy reporter Charles Passy was the first to report that Cathy reportedly tweeted an anti-gay marriage statement following the DOMA verdict. A reader sent Passy the tweet, which said it was a "sad day" for the nation and that the "founding fathers would be ashamed." The post has been deleted.

The tweet is still available on Topsy, an online platform that can index and trackback tweets and web pages.

I guess between the time when he clicked "post" and the time it was deleted, someone realized this might not be so good pr wise.

Unfortunately, the internet tracks reality, and so they can't now say...."what tweet?"

someday Dan and Truitt Cathy are both going to be dead and it's going to take their presumably more worldly and sane heirs a full generation to save that company from their legacy.

That's what he wants, a rekindling of the Great Chick Fil A wars where they'll have preachers telling their chubby flocks to do what Jesus would do, namely eat a fried chicken sandy and waffle fries.

Ignore them, please.

Nowhere does it make mention of religious-based laws like DOMA. But that's probably beyond your reading comprehension level.
