An online fundraiser set up for an Indiana pizzeria that drew controversy after the owners said they would decline to cater a same-sex wedding concluded Friday evening, raising a grand total of $842,397.

The fundraiser, started by TheBlaze TV host Dana Loesch and contributor Lawrence Billy Jones III, received 29,160 donations from individuals across the country who wanted to financially support the owners after they were forced to close their doors due to a sudden wave of threats.
The owners’ comments came as a controversial religious liberty law signed by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) drew nationwide attention.
Speaking to TheBlaze, Jones said he was stunned by the amount ultimately raised for pizzeria since the GoFundMe account was established Wednesday.
“It’s unbelievable,” he said. “We never thought it would get that big. It just took off.”

The initial goal was to raise $25,000 for the pizzeria, but the target incrementally increased after it was met within mere hours of the fundraiser being set up.
Jones said that the owners have been set up with a financial adviser and that “big things” are expected from them.
“They didn’t ask for this,” he said. “They didn’t ask to be attacked and they didn’t ask for the funds.”
Asked to respond to people who said hate was the chief reason people donated, Jones said he could not disagree more.
“I believe it was love. I believe people donated out of love. I believe it was the love and the fight for freedom that united us — gay and straight,” he told TheBlaze.
Since the fundraiser, Jones also said that he has been subjected to a wide array of threats.
“Death threats. Attacks on my family,” he said. “Then you go through the whole thing about being a black conservative. … A lot of people in the gay community are upset, but then there are a lot of people in the gay community who gave to this cause of freedom.”
Jones said that he was not certain when Memories Pizza would re-open their doors, but added that more details should be available after the owners meet with their financial advisor.

Out fucking standing!

Of course, as usual, you're Full of Shit, and a blatant hypocrite, and won't recognize harassment and threats from your demented side of the fence. Then, it's just nice folk giving their opinion.
People are threatening her job. That's beyond disgusting.
Making an open ended threat that "what goes around comes around and you'll get yours" is indeed a threat, just as much as the nutcase who said "who's with me in going to Indiana, etc." The difference. One side pays for such remarks with punishment, as she should. The other gets praised by sickos like J Deuce.
The VA reporter did no story as a reporter, and did not make a claim of fraud, as a reporter, yet her livelihood is being threatened by the sickos.

Coming from someone who thought strangers leaving negative comments on Yelp from thousands of miles away was the greatest thing in the world because it represented "protest."

In case you haven't noticed, the people who are posting comments to both respective pages are in no position to fire either reporter directly. But they can indeed help make that happen by boycotting sponsors, etc.

As for the VA reporter, you may want to dig a little deeper into the story.

I have reported the GoFundMe for Memories Pizza for fraud. Just in case.

and then...

Also, that is totally acceptable to do. I also did research afterward and contacted person who started fund.

So she rushed to report fraud "just in case" (of what?), then "did research afterwards?" Yes, that is in fact a baseless accusation that these fund solicitors committed fraud...done before she had any proof and also while within the scope of her employment, I might add. That would fall under libel and slander and is indeed illegal. I hope Dana Loesch and the rest of Blaze TV sue both her and the news station. This dyke does not deserve to work in media anymore because she can't report without her agenda getting in the way.

I realize that no tactic from your side crosses the line or is considered to be going too far. Unfortunately, the law isn't written the same way. You don't like when people push back legally? Tough shit. It seems (I hope) that a lot of Americans are shoving it right back in the faces of progressives.

I wonder if the Gaystream Media learned their lesson and will avoid these type of witch hunts against small mom and mop businesses in the future.

Fuck no! They actually think they accomplished something.

What they don’t realize is they just made their intended victim pretty wealthy.

Ironic, eh?

Another blow to income equality. :Carcajada:

 

[ScottL]

So you have now focused your bigotry towards a group with whom you disagree politically?

More telling about your bigotry is your comment stating "gays are much less of a problem than conservatives". This statement tells us that you till have a problem with gays but not as much as conservatives...your words, not mine.

What do you expect from someone who has VD, self-inflicted?

 

[vitterd]

You claim it doesn't bug you, but you can't stop talking about it. We know you lie.

You can't stop talking about gays also

im laughing at how dumb you dolts are. Keep posting a running tab like its some sort of victory. You idiots fell hook line and sinker for this scam. Conservatives are the dumbest people in the world.

Enjoy hell

 

[SheriffJoe]

Libtards are filled with envy and are bitter the core. It's their nature. They hate the world, and channel all their misery, ignorance and stupidity into their backward ideology. Their only comfort is knowing millions of gullible retards around the world share the same demented visions for humanity. As my dad always said, "misery loves company"

I have stopped taking bets from gay bettors. I have received death threats. One of you cheap mfs gonna send me some jing?

I'm not gay. You tossed me because I was killing you.
Posters JW is a liar. Please Go Fund ME!!!!

 

[JudgeWapner]

You are sharp and gay, Scott. I think all heterosexual squares should donate.

grand total of $842,397.

Some truly brilliant marketing. If another business tried copying their success but said they wouldn't cater a black wedding would they be able to replicate the same success this place had?

Equating the homosexual lifestyle with skin color? Non sequitur.

But I hope this great show of vlaues by the loons pushes you into stepping up to the plate and accepting My Ted Cruz Bet to get you out of here for a year. After all, this is Murica talking, and they talk loudly. Teddy is a Lock. And you can ban me for life. All you have to do is show some guts, for once in your pathetic life. Step up coward.

They'd get about 100K from the Poly Forum alone, except the losers down here that would contribute have no Cash. And if they'd expand it to Muslim Wedding, Double that in pretend $$$.

 

[ScottL]

Next, you're going to tell me it's all good to drop the hard r in some situations.

Memo to: Jeb Bush
From: MAS
Re: 2016

Greetings from Montgomery County, one of the few remaining swing areas in American presidential politics.

Voters here split their tickets. We even have a Cracker Barrel and Whole Foods in the same community! Don't laugh. They don't often build in the same area. In a 2014 post, David Wasserman at the FiveThirtyEight blog noted that in 1992, Bill Clinton won 61 percent of counties that now have a Whole Foods and 40 percent of counties that now have a Cracker Barrel - a 21 percent gap. By 2012, when President Obama won 77 percent of all counties with a Whole Foods and just 29 percent of all counties with a Cracker Barrel, that margin had doubled to 48 percent. Close that gap and they'll be calling you Bush 45.

But you won't get there by making unforced errors as you did last week. When commenting on the flap over Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act, you chose to speak to Iowa caucus voters, not the type who live in Montco.

"I think Gov. Pence has done the right thing," you said. "Florida has a law like this. Bill Clinton signed a law like this at the federal level. This is simply allowing people of faith space to be able to express their beliefs, to be able to be people of conscience. I think once the facts are established, people aren't going to see this as discriminatory at all."

That's not going to play in suburbia, where there has been a sea change in attitudes toward gays and lesbians since Clinton signed the federal law in 1993. And on the merits, you were wrong. Indiana's law was an attempt to provide ammunition to a business that had denied service to customers because of their sexuality, and it went beyond what Clinton signed into law. Indiana initially gave for-profit businesses a freedom of religion and created a litigation defense for them against civil suits.

As you well know, the challenge of your campaign is to win the nomination in a way that doesn't wound you for a general. That won't be easy. In 2012, you correctly observed that both Ronald Reagan and your father would have a hard time finding common ground with this incarnation of the GOP. And again, when you first dipped your toe in the water in 2014, you said that for a Republican presidential candidate to win in 2016, he'd need to be prepared to "lose the primary to win the general."

But that's not the logic you followed when you rushed to join the Indiana fray. Mike Pence may not have answered George Stephanopoulos' six requests for a yes or no answer on ABC's This Week last Sunday, but he sure did make clear that there would be changes to the ill-conceived law before the Final Four tipped off. Had you waited, you could have embraced the amended law, which is much more acceptable to the people you need to reach to be president.

Look, Bush 41 was the last Republican to win Pennsylvania in a presidential election. We really aren't the purple state we're made out to be by the pundit class every four years - we've been consistently blue every four years since 1988. Still, you can win here.

In fact, you probably have the best shot of any Republican against Hillary. But as Terry Madonna, the director of the Center for Politics and Public Affairs at Franklin and Marshall College told me last week, "The path to winning Pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes runs through the swing counties in the state - most notably in the vote-rich Philadelphia suburbs. It's impossible to carry the state without a strong showing in them."

To be competitive here, you need to emulate 41, not 43. There is some truth to the saying credited to James Carville that Pennsylvania is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between. Guaranteed, you will win our version of Alabama. Equally certain, you will be trounced in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Whether you win the state will depend on what happens in suburbia and the Lehigh Valley.

Might I suggest that, as the campaign unfolds, you employ a Montgomery County litmus test? Ask yourself whether your positions will play in this community. Win a general here, you win everything, but go too far placating the base in primary season, and you may as well not run. In 2004, 43 lost Montco to John Kerry, 44 percent to 55.6 percent, and lost the state. In 2008, 60 percent of Montgomery County voters went for Obama, and he won Pennsylvania. He held the state four years later, taking 56.6 percent of the vote in Montco.

Even in this area, resist the temptation to appease the loudest voices. The weekend before the 2012 general, Mitt Romney attended a rally at a Bucks County farm that drew more than 30,000 people and he left convinced he would win the state and nation, but did neither. He must have forgotten that your brother appeared in the same cornfield in 2004 (I know, I emceed the rally) that drew 20,000 people, but he similarly lost the state.

Yard signs don't vote. But suburban Philadelphia does.

You're launching half-court shots now, and they are missing. Badly.

This butch VA bitch had her Twitter account verified, and both her and her CBS employer linked themselves to each other's bios. Reporters who post on social media effectively do so on behalf of their employers nowadays since "news" happens 24-7. Do you think it's a giant coincidence that both Twitter accounts now make no reference to each other after this incident?

If Bill Simmons went on Twitter tomorrow and said he hates black people, are you suggesting everyone would keep ESPN out of the backlash? There would be a massive initiative to fire him, and there is about a 100% chance it would happen to satisfy the pitchfork mob.

I'm done embarrassing you on this topic, so lets address why you keep humping my leg about Ted Cruz. I'll put it to you this way...the only thing standing between him and the presidency is the party nomination. Someone may choose him as a veep candidate down the line...but if he heads the ticket, he wins the presidency. Feel free to quote me on that one.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. The donations aren't done yet! That was so much fun, lets do it again!

Seems there is a florist in Washington who refused to cater a homo wedding. She got sued by the fags and stands to lose her business. She raised something like $1k for legal defense funds in the first 28 days on the Go Fund Me site. Dana Loesch mentioned this on her show late Friday afternoon. Now? She has over $85k and counting.

It shouldn't amaze me that the Left is so stunned conservatives are punching them back in the mouth after they threw their own bombs first. I think they are just used to RINOs rolling over into a fetal position whenever progressives demand everyone conforms to their agenda. Bad news for the progs though...conservatives aren't RINOs. Push them a little too hard, and you probably wind up getting the shit kicked out of you. Like Joe said...when politicians aren't willing to rise up and take a stand against this shit, the people sure as hell are.
