He lives in Tucson. Put him 1 mile outside of town and he'd die of thirst in a day, all the while whining that nobody was rescuing him.

Exclusive: TheBlaze Interviews the Guy Fired for Berating a Chick-fil-A Employee


Editor’s note: This is a smaller version of a larger story. Stay tuned for the complete version Friday afternoon that will include more from Adam Smith.

Should someone be fired from their job and threatened with violence, torture, even death because they have an opinion different than yours? Of course not. And yet, that is what Adam M. Smith of Arizona says happened to him.

Adam Smith’s life has been turned upside-down in the 36 hours that followed his posting the video of his protest at Chick-fil-A, which involved letting a young, female employee at the drive-thru know what he thinks about the company. (You can watch the video here.)

We had an exclusive conversation with Smith where he shared his side of the story. Here’s a taste of what he said (we’ll be releasing more later):

  • He has lost his job as Chief Financial Officer at Vante. (Smith claims that he was not given a chance to really explain himself before being terminated)
  • His family has been threatened with violence and death. (At one point, his email account was getting 3 messages a minute, mostly vulgar and threatening)
  • Because his home address was made public, he cannot live in his house. (And Mr. Smith is a married father of four – two of his children are adopted, special needs kids.)
  • Smith said that his original intent was to follow guidelines laid out in an online video, which included quoting a scripture.

DA?



Of course not. If you had been following closely, as you claim, you would have read that I support Smith's right to act like a horse's ass.

Much like I support yours.




The post of mine which you seem to have latched onto was an example of "hyperbole" with a touch of sarcasm mixed in. It's not an entirely uncommon rhetorical device used around here, and one that I, personally, favor.

Oh boo friggin hoo! That liberal fool made a seriously bad choice and now he's paying for it. I'm not too concerned for him or his family because his idiot wife married him and his kids will, no doubt, be raised as liberals. :smack:

And "Quoting a Scripture"? Now I know he's :crazy: but even the devil has quoted Scripture, so...

What does his famly have to do with his right to protest? Heck..he might be right back there today, making another video of himself harassing CFA employees. Who knows?

He can do that every day if he wants to.

But he can only be fired once. :killingme:killingme

What right was infringed? Did he get to say what he wanted?

Are you aware of any Government entity, for instance the Mayor of Chicago, denying him the right to come to their city?

Not cool.

He made a bad choice, yes. His family had nothing to do with it. And you can't hold children accountable for what you think they will grow into. That's absolutely ####ing ridiculous.

We are not, but keep in mind, he as a parent and spouse, has a responsibility to be aware of the repercussions his actions might have on his kids and wife. He, not society, is responsible for what he did. Had he acted in an honorable manner, none of this would have happened. Now, do I think sending him hateful messages is the right thing to do? No. But it's expected when you act like a Rushmore sized ass and then post it, especially when you boast how good being that big an ass made you feel.

Has anyone seen the supposed evil emails? WE always hear about such, but rarely are they produced.

I'm aware of that. However, I do not condone threats against this person's family.

I don't even condone threats against the man himself, but I won't call anyone out on that, since he did, in fact, bring this ####storm on himself for being such a monumental ####wad.

Fair enough - I've already said that I support the free speech, but I also believe that you better be able to back your mouth up and nobody should be free of repurcussions if they try to take that free speech to the next level.

But you leave someone's family out of it, IMO. They are innocent bystanders in this.

I don't really doubt their existence. It's possible that the volume, frequency and magnitude may be exaggerated, but the fact that he's gotten threating and hateful emails is not surprising in the least... In fact, I'd be surprised and amazed if he didn't get any.
