Mike Huckabee Talks with NOM's Brian Brown About 'Economic Bullying' of Chick-fil-A by Gays: AUDIO

Brown_huckabee

It's not surprising that NOM's Brian Brown and Mike Huckabee have taken Chick-fil-A COO Dan Cathy's statements against gays and his company's many donations to anti-gay marriage causes and tried to turn it into a case of gays oppressing Christians, but it is disgusting.

Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...

Chickfila_santorum

Failed presidential candidate Rick Santorum joined the Chick-fil-A culture war today because he couldn't be left out, tweeting from inside a restaurant:

"With two of my boys, Enjoying chick-in-strips and an awesome peach shake at Chick-fil-A. See you here next Wednesday! Three older kids @sarah_santorum @dansantorum @johnsantorum just joined us at Chick-fil-A. They like Chick-fil-A sauce on everything!"

Next Wednesday, of course, is Mike Huckabee's "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day".

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Backs Alderman's Plan to Block Anti-Gay Chick-Fil-A from Opening Restaurant

Chicago Alderman Proco "Joe" Moreno says he won't allow Chick-Fil-A to open a restaurant in his Northwest Side ward because of the company's anti-gay worldview, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel is offering his support, the Chicago Tribune reports:

Moreno"If you are discriminating against a segment of the community, I don't want you in the 1st Ward," Moreno told the Tribune on Tuesday.

Moreno stated his position in strong terms, referring to Cathy's "bigoted, homophobic comments" in a proposed opinion page piece that an aide also sent to Tribune reporters. "Because of this man's ignorance, I will now be denying Chick-fil-A's permit to open a restaurant in the 1st Ward."

The alderman has the ideological support of Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

"Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values," the mayor said in a statement when asked about Moreno's decision. "They disrespect our fellow neighbors and residents. This would be a bad investment, since it would be empty."

The proposed restaurant, in the Logan Square neighborhood, would be the second to open in the Windy City.

Note: Michelangelo Signorile is having Moreno on his show at 4:30 pm ET.
