THE EFFECTIVENESS OF JUXTAPOSITION
There are times when a juxtaposed image is so effective in its message that it crosses the line into transcendent truth.
People of reason and good will all know, either intellectually or viscerally, that Sarah Palin and her husband are deeply bad human beings.
But the question is — does the universe know this?
And when you see a juxtaposed image like the one above you know the answer; yes, the universe does know that these two people — and the people like them who believe the same things that they believe and who behave in a similar fashion — are profoundly bad people.
And that’s knowledge that I take some solace in having.

Sarah, you are an ignorant slut! I would also like to fuck your husband until he threw up his chick fil a- that you bought two days earlier that anyone else- so that you would be sure to get in the news cycle -with your sister Michelle Bachman.

All this Chick-Fil-Assholery was a buffoonishly American way to demonstrate support for traditional marriage. What better way to support a cause than hauling one’s fat ass down to a fast food restaurant and stuffing one’s pie hole with chicken sandwiches! That’ll show us faggots!
Having said that, it would be great if they held a few more Appreciation Days, maybe one per week even. The sooner red-necked, bigoted half-wits like the Palins clog their arteries and die of heart attacks, the better. Huckabee was on TV the next day. It looked like his bloated ass did more than its fair share of chicken chowing. And have you seen some of the #StraightPride tweets that were captured that day? I had no idea so many brain surgeons and rocket scientists were CFA fans.

Mark and jdw, you cynical bastards. I give up on you.
Don’t you realise that in 2,000 years there will be a holy book that tells of how the divinely annointed (also dipped, plumped and handled by many users) Dan Cathy sat down (standing is bad for their blood pressure) with his followers and using merely two pieces of bread and one piece of farmed-in-cruelty, industrially brined, crumb-encrusted, cayenne, salt, pepper, and monosodium glutamate-seasoned, pressure-fried chicken, he managed to feed five million of his followers in just one day.
Mammon damn you both for not seeing this as the miracle it was.
And as for that picture above, you can tell God didn’t love the skinny guy because God didn’t give him a burger, Botox or decent Calvin Kleins. Also, he’s clearly a Muslim. What???? OK, then, he’s clearly a Sikh. What???? What’s a hindoo? Is it something like a urkel? Who gives a fuck. He’s brown – if he’s not a muslim now, he might be tomorrow.
I’m not saying we should shoot him, but I’ve not had my monosodium glutamate fix today.
Anyways, all I’m saying to you two is that if you don’t change your attitude ricketty-fucking-tick, you’re both gonna be reincarnated as Wendyburgers in your next life. If reincarnation existed.

The question will be how many of those who went to Chick-fil-a are really registered voters? Stuffing your faces at a restaurant did not require one to register before the appreciation day nor show photo ID in order to purchase the food. Hopefully they were not as motivated to jump those hoops in order to vote.

I thought the kiss-in was a petty Lesbianic move to spite the haters, just like the miserably failing anti Prop 8 ads in California
We do MUCH better when we show our love to be like everyone else’s.
Or at least yell and make noise, don’t do kissy-poo.
Missed point by other commenters:
The pro-chick protesters were making their stab at keeping the old “White Christian America” that they would like to believe exists, not really just pissing on the Gays, and YES, you can be sure that they will vote, and vote Republican, so we need to spend our effort electing Democrats.
I suggest Googling _ghandi gay_ , and reading the articles that suggest the man who inspired Dr King and others dumped his wife for a man.

So was it also a buy1 get 1 free day??

(Hurray, the math question is back, so now my comment will go through again.)
The sad part of all this hoopla is that before this issue became public I had never even heard of Chick-fil-A. But now that even Sarah Palin is involved, they are just getting way too much free advertising. And to jdw: I totally agree, because I’ve also wanted to fuck Sarah Palin’s husband ever since I first laid eyes on that goatee of his…

I just luv to “chow down at chick-fil-a”!
This is how you protest against Chick-Fil-A, with fabulous style!
And ripping off Wilson Philips in the process.
Sorry, I go there because I like the waffle fries.
I bought the song on itunes and played it at the drive thru- LOUDLY!
“So please don’t sue us for libel, we just want a little meat without your Bible!”

There’s something I don’t get. Not to judge, of course, but those of you who want to fuck Todd Palin, how can you comartmentalize him from his politics and his wife? It’s something I’ve never understood. I’ve heard the same thing from gay guys about Ralph Reed and even the excrable G.W. Bush. I don’t care how “hot” a guy is if I see only loathing for him. Especially if he is associated with someone as loathsome as Sarah Palin.
