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.
