Romney gives ringing endorsement of anti-gay fast food chain at Liberty University.

LYNCHBURG, VA – Mitt Romney’s commencement speech at Liberty University here Saturday came after the evangelical school gave an honorary degree to S. Truett Cathy, founder of Chick Fil A, a chain that has drawn criticism from gay rights advocates.

Romney gave the chain and its sandwiches his full endorsement. From his prepared remarks:

The Romney campaign comes to a sudden stop when we spot a Chick-fil-A. Your chicken sandwiches were our comfort food through the primary season, and heaven knows there were days that we needed a lot of comfort. So, Truett, thank you and congratulations on your well-deserved honor today.

Srsly. The LDS-run Polynesian Cultural Center on O'ahu only has caffeine-free Coke. That must be the reason they make that swill!

Avoid Chik-Fil-A at all costs. Their food is sub-standard. The owners are homophobic assholes.

Mittens is down the rabbit's hole with no way out.
