Where Not to Eat Jul 23rd 2012, 20:34 link Not sure which of these are even around outside the US for non-US members/readers. Heck, 2 or 3 of them aren't available around me. 5 chains that support right wing extremism 1. Chick-Fil-A (everyone knows this I think) 2. Carl's Jr Quote: Carl’s Jr. founder Carl Karcher, who died in 2008, had been a supporter of anti-abortion causes for decades. In particular, Karcher was fond of funding the anti-choice group Operation Rescue. He also had a mean anti-gay streak as well (so do they still support that now? And Operation Rescue goes BEYOND anti-choice. They are pretty much a terrorist organization.) 3. Dominoes Pizza Quote: Like Karcher, Domino’s Pizza founder Tom Monaghan is an unapologetic supporter of anti-choice groups, including Operation Rescue, Right to Life, Priests for Life, and the Committee to End State-Funded Abortion in Michigan. (their pizza sucks anyway.) 4. White Castle Quote: White Castle joins Carl’s Jr. on the list of beloved burger joints with right-wing ties. According to a recent ThinkProgress report about companies that have helped bankroll right-wing attack ads, White Castle has given $25,000 to the Congressional Leadership Fund super PAC, a group linked to House Speaker John Boehner that is supporting conservative candidates in the November election. 5. Waffle House Quote: Waffle House (or Awful House as I used to call it growing up) is also mentioned in the ThinkProgress report. The breakfast joint has given $100,000 this election cycle to the Karl Rove super PAC American Crossroads.
