Celebrities Unleash Vulgar Rants Against Chick-fil-A

Celebrities Unleash Vulgar Rants Against Chick-fil-A | FOX News & Commentary: Todd Starnes


Stewart’s rant also including a vulgar parody of the popular Chick-fil-A cow – holding a sign that read “Eat More C**.”

And he wasn’t the only celebrity to attack the popular, family-friendly restaurant chain. Roseanne Barr unleashed a series of profane tweets — hoping that Chick-fil-A customers got cancer.

“Anyone who eats S**t fil A deserves to get the cancer that is sure to come from eating antibiotic filled tortured chickens 4 Christ,” she tweeted.

Grant Gustin, a cast member of the gay-friendly television series GLEE, wrote on Twitter that he was “done with Chick-fil-A.”

“Your food is not good enough to take from a bunch of a**holes,” he tweeted.

“The Office” star Ed Helms was not quite so vulgar in his outrage over the chicken chain.

“Chick-fil-A doesn’t like gay people? So lame,” he tweeted. “Hate to think what they do to the gay chickens! Lost a loyal fan.”

The gay rights campaign NOH8 called for a nationwide boycott earlier this year because Chick-fil-A’s charitable foundation supports Christian ministries like Focus on the Family and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Oh, well, it's not like the pro-gay celebrities are being paid to express their opinions on Armed Forces Radio Network.

Vulgarity isn't illegal and neither is what the celebrities are saying. Again, I can't help but wonder if say, Ed Shultz or Rachel Maddow announced that Chickfila HATES gays or DESPISES them on AFN if anyone would consider this over the top.

Seems to me people are fine with defending Rush Limbaugh's right to say inaccurate, offensive crap about Obama to our troops, but not Roseanne's right to say equally hateful bullshit about a sandwich shop on Twitter.

Personally, I'm sick of angry, over the top hyperbole by just about everyone. A rule demanding this shit at least be funny or witty would help too. Too many people are starting to sound like angry children shouting "booger eater doody head!!" to me.

Fuck them, its about time bigots get bullied, something they do to others. Spare me the "waaa, intolerant of intolerance" crap. Words have consequences, they wanted to preach their values, they donated money to anti-gay groups, they get what they ask for. Keep your stores in the bible belt then if you want to be intolerant

Chick Fil A was asked a question and gave an honest answer.

Is the world so PC now we can't give honest answers?

Providing funds to anti-gay groups is more than an answer.

And speaking for the entire company, they should not of answered the question. When your "honesty" shows you are hateful and bigoted, yes, you shouldn't give an answer.

They aren't a ministry - they are a political action organization.

No. Actually, here's the alderman being intolerant of intolerance. Big difference. I wish conservatives could figure that out, but maybe they are too busy boycotting Disney and Ellen to figure it out.
