Chick-Fil-A PR Head Dies of Heart Attack, Fringe Left Rejoices

I don’t know if the rage junkies helped cause this, but they sure seem happy about it. Just check Twitter or the L.A. Times web site and you’ll see stuff like this:

God has just started to punish this company for their hateful ways.

I could go on and on and on, but for once I’m just going to have you imagine the extent of it. We’ve been down this road many times before, and it’s always the same.

I’m a supporter of gay marriage and gay rights, but this kind of thing really makes me angry. I’m not going to stop supporting gay rights just because some other supporters are hateful, disgusting people. But I did experience a flash of anger where I thought about it. When I read this kind of thing, I had a feeling pass across me that I don’t want to be associated with these people in any way. Let them fight their battles on their own, if this is how they’re going to act, went the thought.

The thought came, and then passed as quickly as it had come. I thought of the good people I know who are gay, and who (I know) do not support such ugly sentiments. Why should those good people lose my support because of the nasties?

But that’s me.

I guarantee you that this kind of thing is going to lose other people.

Guarantee it.

So, to all you advocates of gay rights who don’t engage in this kind of ugly rhetoric, I say to you: you have a job to do. You need to talk to the people who leave comments like that, and make them stop.

It is not helping your cause. Not one bit.

If “You Didn’t Build That” Bothers You, You’re a Racist

Successful business? You didn’t build that!

Mad Obama said that to you?

Then you’re a racist.

P.S. Chait hastens to add he doesn’t really think you’re a racist — or, to be even more clear, you are a racist, but everybody is and you can’t help it.

I think Chait is a racist for seeing every policy disagreement as driven by race. But it’s not really his fault. So many liberals are racists in the same way, he can’t help it.
