On the issue of boycotts, comparing Big Apple Pizza with Chick-Fil-A is a MBF without wings.

The Big Apple Pizza guy, when he hugged Obama, made no political statement beyond, “I like this guy and I’m gonna vote for him.” Thousands of business owners have shook hands with Obama and Romney over the last several months. But this guy is being targeted for right wing boycotts because he gave Obama a big sloppy hug, which is really nothing more than a nicer version of a handshake. Call it the Charlie Christ variation of ODS.

The Chick-Fil-A guy, on the other hand, made a clear social and political statement. First, he condemned same sex marriage, something a majority of Americans now see as a civil right. Second, he warned that as a nation we were risking the judgment of God due to our tolerance of homosexuality—the same toxic shit that Falwell and Robertson were spewing in the aftermath of 9/11.

Thus, MBF equivalency here just doesn’t hold up.
