Comedian Jon Stewart ripped Mayors Rahm Emanuel and Tom Menino on Thursday night for pledging to block Chick-fil-A from opening new restaurants in their cities, siding with those on the right who say such a move would be unconstitutional.
“Pretty sure you can’t outlaw a company with perfectly legal business practices because you find their CEO’s views repellant. Not sure which amendment covers that, but it’s probably in the top one,” Stewart said. “I think maybe the mayors hadn’t thought this thing through.

Here we have Obscumbo supporting Al Qaeda, SUING in attempt to disenfranchise our Military by blocking their voting rights, and attacking the Second Amendment through the no bodies at the UN. All in one week and going to Camp David for golf ??? I would swear that Obscumbo needs to go to Fort Leavenworth — not camp David — For his Next Term should be Life Incarceration — but after this week of his crap – the man needs to face a line of .308's
Off topic, but have you noticed that this is the 3rd birthday in a row that Michelle and his kids have not been with him to celebrate? Sooo, WHO IS going to Camp David with him? The new "bag man?" What a disgusting POS this guy is; he just spreads sleaze over everything he touches.
I got more of a kick out of the comments on Politico on this article. One actually said queers are going to put Chick-Fil-A out of business by withholding their money. They weren't going to eat there anymore. ROFLMAO
Don't they realized thats what Wednesday represented? Are they THAT dumb? (sorry. That's a rhetorical)
At least you know you have an almost IMPOSSIBLE chance of contracting AIDS at Chick-Fil-A!
I raley find anything this guy has to say, worth listening to…don't tell me he is watering down his kool-aid? Many many more need to join him….
