I took that as a statement of fact (akin to "Chick-fil-a faced a public relations disaster ...") rather than a value judgement.

It's a fact? I heard Chick-fil-a stores had record sales after your so-called "deep shit PR disaster."

Agreed, but I think it's indicative of a liberal bias, or at least living in a liberal bubble, to place so much weight on something that most people have long forgotten about (especially the kind of person who eats there).

And the post I was responding to claimed that these things weren't even mentioned by the top poster, which they clearly were.

You mention "chick fil-a PR", and that's going to be the first thing that comes to mind. Total self-inflicted wound on their part, whatever your personal politics.

I specifically address this point when I say that it's only a minority of people who would even remember that controversy. Would you care to address this line of argument?

I just did. You remembered it, and with passion. You knew exactly what the parenthetical (they stepped in it) was talking about. So did everyone else on the thread.

You disprove your own argument.
