Incredible - James Manning, ATLAH Church Pastor, Claims Starbucks Uses 'Sodomites' Semen'

[RKP5637]

Incredible wackos running around ... WTF is wrong with this guy! I think this guy has opened himself up for a massive lawsuit by Starbucks. I don't have a link, but there is some prescient for legal action against one making outrageous and false claims against an enterprise attempting to damage a business with willful intent.

The leader of the vehemently anti-gay Harlem ATLAH Missionary Church, James Manning, is once again making outrageous claims against the gay community. This time he might have outdone himself.

Last week, Manning asserted that Starbucks is "ground zero for Ebola" after the company released it's first LGBT commercial starring Bianca Del Rio and Adore Delano of "RuPaul's Drag Race" fame.

Now, Manning has released another video in which the religious leader claims that Starbucks has been using the "sodomites' semen" in their flavored coffee drinks. He states in the video:

“Starbucks is a place where these types frequent and a lot of body fluids are exchanged there. But the thing that I was not aware of is that there has been information that has been released… what Starbucks was doing, is they were taking specimens of male semen, and they were putting it in the blends of their lattes. Now, this is the absolute truth."

1. Dude, that's not what 'double-shot" means. nt

[RKP5637]

10. LOL! Hmmm ... I wonder if it's called "Macho Drink!"

[Orrex]

2. Is it included automatically, or do you have to request it?

I'm not a coffee guy, so I don't know.

[Codeine]

5. Ask for a venti mochaccino-oh-Oh-OHHHHHHH! nt

[merrily]

29. Maybe it's what "mocchiato" means?

I can do without Starbuck's names for its concoctions, cup sizes, etc.

I usually ask for the smallest size and the person waiting on me will invariably respond, "Grande?" I give him or her the fish eye and repeat, "the smallest size." How silly/confusing is it to name your smallest size, "grande?"

[Action_Patrol]

3. What a moron.

Where does he think they are storing all this semen? I can tell you for a fact that I keep a half gallon jug in the fridge and it goes sour in 4 days. The volume they would have to keep on hand? Ha. What a buffoon.

[Codeine]

6. Freeze it in ice cube trays.

Just like grandma used to do.

[Action_Patrol]

9. A Freezer!?!

What am I, rich?

[merrily]

30. I don't know. How many cups of Starbucks can you afford to buy in a week?

rim shot?

[Action_Patrol]

33. Rim shot?

That's how we got to this thread in the first place!

[merrily]

40. LOL!

[hobbit709]

4. I wonder what he's doing that he doesn't want anyone to know about.

Anyone spouting crap like this has something to hide.

[Hubert Flottz]

13. I agree.

Trying to deflect attention from "his" most secret sexual activity. How well we know the type. You never know what kind of organ the good minister might long to master, these days?

[Eleanors38]

15. That he prefers PIV semen in his latte?

[yardwork]

39. Schizophrenia, would be my guess.

Or else he has a very rich fantasy life. Maybe he desperately wants to hang out with "those people" at Starbucks but somebody convinced him that "those thoughts" are dirty and bad.

Which makes him want it even more.

[theHandpuppet]

7. Manning is in serious need of psychiatric treatment

Who the hell sits around all day thinking about gay semen?

[hobbit709]

8. Someone with unresolved "issues"

[shenmue]

22. Yep

Time for the men with the butterfly nets to take him to the nice padded room.

[hifiguy]

48. Nurse!! The horse-size syringe of Thorazine STAT!

Repeat every six hours.

[GeorgeGist]

11. Another useful distraction.

[tanyev]

12. Hey, maybe this will keep a local church group from descending on my Starbucks on Sunday mornings

to have their Bible class. Although I suspect they're not quite this idiotic.

[ReverendDeuce]

14. Any remember Idiocracy?

[amb123]

16. Reminds me of an anti-semite that claimed that brown mustard is "jew sh*t"

and that's why they spread it on the sandwiches served at the local delicatessen. Same level of screwed-up "thinking".

Hate is the greatest perversion of them all.

[RKP5637]

17. Wow, just wow, I hadn't heard that one. n/t

[Warren Stupidity]

18. It froths up really well.

Vente cum latte is real popular at the local bucks.

[bullwinkle428]

19. He'll probably be elected to Congress in 2016, the way things are going now.

[RKP5637]

21. Probably, running on the "Semen Platform!" n/t

[merrily]

28. Running on semen could lead to all kinds of accidents.

Not recommended.

[RKP5637]

31. ...

[badtoworse]

20. I thought my veinte Pike with cream and sugar had an odd taste

[tontonmacoute]

23. We should complain to Starbucks and quote this guy...

that might encourage them to sue his ass off.

[RKP5637]

24. I bet they are possibly already aware of it as it's a bit viral. Probably they are determining do

they just ignore this fool or send a cease and desist order of sorts. ... or could publicity harm the image of the company, probably something PR is looking at too. Possibly they are monitoring the situation, because he is one would think viewed as wacky by most.

[hifiguy]

49. $100 million or so in punitive damages

would put a hitch in this ignorant shitheel's get-along.

[RKP5637]

52. I would love to see that! These jerks think they can just keep trashing everyone for

absolutely stupid reasons!

[Codeine]

25. Spunkin' Spice Latte. nt

[Marrah_G]

38. lmao

[etherealtruth]

42. OMG ... LMAO

[ChisolmTrailDem]

63. I literally was taking a sip of coffee when I read that! DUzy nom! nt

[merrily]

26. Well, that explains the price, I guess.

[William769]

27. There are no words for this. Seriously there are no words.

[Archae]

32. The worst part about this guy...

He's not alone, he has followers, and he doesn't have to pay taxes.

[atreides1]

36. He doesn't have to pay taxes

But he can still be sued for slander and his life made so miserable that the only place he'll be preaching from is a cardboard box!

This is one of those moments when I want to see a corporate giant completely crush someone....

[hifiguy]

46. Like this

[leftyladyfrommo]

34. Well, Starbucks is just a veritable den of inquity.

I never knew. it must going on behind closed doors because I haven't noticed such evil goings on at my Starbucks.

[Orsino]

35. Countdown to the release of his sex tape? n/t

[hifiguy]

45. Can the mule sign a release form?

[Shrike47]

37. I wonder why Starbucks does this? Seems to me it just adds to overhead.

[Initech]

41. I'm normally 100% against censorship, but this guy's mike needs to be cut ASAP.

And the guy needs to be thrown in a psychiatrist ward. This is certifiably insane, batshit crazy.

[Recursion]

43. Ejacu-lattes?

That would explain why they cost so much...

[hifiguy]

44. Calling this "actionable" is like calling the Grand Canyon

a large hole in the ground.

If I were an attorney for Starbuck's I would argue that they should sue this fuckstick into lifelong penury and hound him until the end of his days.

How do people this fucking stupid manage to dress themselves every day?

[Comrade Grumpy]

50. I'm with you on that. Sue this asshole into the ground.

[RKP5637]

53. K&R! n/t

[sakabatou]

47. LOL wut?

[3catwoman3]

51. Specimens of male semen.

As opposed to female semen?

Here is the real "absolute truth." This guy is f&cking NUTS!!!!

[Odin2005]

54. Classic psychological reaction formation.

He's so deep in the closet he's in the basement.

[RKP5637]

55. A pathetic individual with a loud megaphone and followers. ... always amazes me the delusional

minds guppies are attracted to.

[Kaleva]

56. So now we have to stroke a guy at Starbucks to get your special blend?

[RKP5637]

57. An under the counter special! n/t

[L0oniX]

58. He should run for a GOP office.

[theHandpuppet]

59. That one's already taken

Ask Colorado.

[mattclearing]

60. This is libel; Starbucks should destroy him. n/t

[RKP5637]

61. I would think so. His utterings are outrageous enough, but to then name a corporation as

being at fault is libel I would think.

This outrageousness of his I think is spreading quickly on the internet and I imagine Starbucks is probably already of aware of it and they are watching. PR and Legal departments get pretty upset about libel implications of unfounded accusations against a company.

There was a case of this not too long ago (sorry, don't have the link right now) about someone trying to defame a networking company or something about a router I believe and action was taken. That was over some computer hardware, but it pales in comparison to these accusations. And, this has very wide public visibility, whereas the other was more narrow in scope, I think, to some computer hardware and supposedly false claims made to derail that companies revenue.

I'm not an attorney, but to me at least this seems libel. Possibly they have sent a 'cease and desist order' or something like that to him. If that was done and then ignored, I think it has very serious implications against this guy and his god is going to be of no help to him.

[mattclearing]

62. My recollection is that the legal components of libel are:

1. Not demonstrably true information is
2. Published/disseminated, and
3. Causes demonstrable injury.

Not sure about the last, but the first two are a lock.

[LostInAnomie]

64. Whew! Good thing I just eat the brownies.

Nothing gross could be in those, right?

[RKP5637]

65. ...

[arely staircase]

66. mock him all you want

But he says it is the absolute truth and that information has been released. Can you prove him wrong?

[RKP5637]

67. Not I, but a court of law can if Starbucks chooses to pursue it ... n/t
