[EL] Vengeful politicians

I wonder if anybody who has claimed that an 'Enemies List' or retaliation
against businesses for supporting the 'wrong' candidates/causes/views would
care to comment on this?

-boss-anti-gay-views.html

 

The article starts:

 

The anti-gay views openly espoused by the president of a fast food chain
specializing in chicken sandwiches have run afoul of Mayor Rahm Emanuel and
a local alderman, who are determined to block Chick-fil-A from expanding in
Chicago.

 

I'd welcome any feedback on what, if anything, this suggests about the
concerns expressed by some of us here about disclosure of donations to
independent organizations that speak out on political or social causes and
the likelihood of politicians seeking retribution. Particularly given that
one of the two politicians leading this charge happens to be a former White
House Chief of Staff.

 

Best,

 

Sean Parnell
