Once again silence from the liberal media when the truth has come out and the story they wanted so much to be true turned out to be a blatant lie. The publicity seeking gay waitress has not only lied about the "hate" but seems to have scammed those who gave her money




A New Jersey waitress who became a minor internet celebrity after she alleged that a customer refused to give her a tip because she is a lesbian appears to have resigned or been fired after evidence was presented that she fabricated the entire incident.

The restaurant, Gallop Asian Bistro, posted a note to its Facebook page Saturday evening saying that it had conducted an investigation into the matter and that upon its conclusion, in a “joint decision,” the waitress, Dayna Morales, “will no longer continue her employment at our restaurant.”

The posting declined to state definitively whether Morales had made up the incident entirely, characterizing its findings as “inconclusive.”

The kerfuffle began last month on Facebook when the waitress posted a photo of a restaurant receipt which included a message supposedly written by the customer to a gay-themed Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=453425841430201&set=a.192270474212407.34793.192269477545840&type=1) that said as follows: “I’m sorry but I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle and how you live your life.”

Morales’s story almost immediately received an enormous amount of news coverage. CNN filed several stories (https://www.google.com/search?q="dayna+morales"+&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q="dayna+morales"+site:cnn.com&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&start=30) on it, as did many local television news stations (http://ht.cdn.turner.com/cnn/big/us/2013/11/15/dnt-gay-marine-waitress-stiffed.wabc_15175224_640x360_900k.mp4) and numerous websites and newspapers. People sympathetic to her alleged plight began sending in donations (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/18/dayna-morales-gay_n_4297277.html) to compensate her.

But things began to unwind after New York television station WNBC talked to a man and woman who said that they were the couple in question (http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Gay-Server-Tip-Lifestyle-Receipt-Discrepancy-233040811.html?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_NYBrand) and that they had, in fact, left a tip. They also presented an apparent copy of the receipt and a credit card statement indicating that they had left an $18 tip on their meal of $93.55. The WNBC report prompted Gallop Asian Bistro to launch the investigation which ultimately led to Morales’s departure from the restaurant.

This is hardly the first media firestorm surrounding allegedly bigoted behavior that has fizzled out upon further examination. In October, a Tennessee man named Devin Barnes claimed that he was slandered (http://www.wkrn.com/story/23698411/red-lobster-customer) by a Red Lobster waitress who posted a photo of a receipt online with a racial epithet on it and a tip for “none.” He denies that he wrote the slur but does confirm he wrote the tip amount.

Similarly, in November, it was revealed that several racist and anti-gay messages that were reported at Vassar College, a small liberal arts school in New York, were all the work of two students, one of whom was on the college’s self-described “Bias Incident Response Team (http://dailycaller.com/2013/11/27/exclusive-shocking-discovery-in-hoax-bias-incident-at-vassar-college/).”

Likewise, a Massachusetts woman has been accused of being a “strong suspect (http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/12/04/investigation-into-lunenburg-racist-graffiti-focuses-on-parents/)” in an incident where a racist graffito was spray-painted onto her house after she changed her story several times and destroyed paint cans were found in a fire pit on her property.

In contrast, as Liberty Unyielding pointed out last week (http://libertyunyielding.com/2013/12/05/superintendent-defends-decision-to-cancel-football-season-in-wake-of-likely-hate-crime-hoax/), there has been almost no media coverage of a vandalism spree in nearby Ware, Massachusetts which has featured arson and explicitly anti-Catholic vandalism (http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2013/12/ware_teens_charged_in_connecti.html).

A truly balanced national news media ought to come to the conclusion that all cases of alleged bigotry against people of any group (including Christians) deserve coverage or they should be confined to simply local news stories until they can be verified.

and as far as the promise to donate money to Wounded Warriors





Who stiffed who? Wounded Warriors has no record of donation from lesbian waitress accused of tip hoax


The lesbian waitress who claimed she received an anti-gay note in lieu of a tip promised to donate the subsequent gratuities that poured in to the Wounded Warrior Project — but the veterans organization reportedly can’t verify it had received any donations from Dayna Morales.

Morales, a 22-year-old former Marine, claimed last month that a family of four who racked up a $93.55 bill at the Gallop Asian Bistro in Branchburg, N.J., left her no tip, only a note saying they couldn’t leave any extra cash for her service because they “do not agree with your lifestyle.”

Morales quickly emailed the story to a gay advocacy website and later posted a photograph of the purported check on her Facebook page. The alleged incident made national headlines and resulted in thousands of dollars being donated to Morales, who said she would send all proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project. But a representative of the Florida-based charity could not confirm Morales had made any donations as of Wednesday, Bridgewater Patch reports (http://bridgewater.patch.com/groups/around-town/p/discredited-waitress-wounded-warrior-donation-cant-be-verified)http://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/all/img/external-link.png.

A representative for the nonprofit group that caters to veterans returning from overseas checked for donations by Morales’ name and within the ZIP codes for Bridgewater, N.J., where she worked, and Bedminster, where Morales said she lives, and was unable to locate any correlating donations. The donations may have been made from a different ZIP code or by a third-party, the representative told the website.

Morales, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve from July 2009 through May 2013 in Newburgh, N.Y., as an administrative specialist, could not be reached for comment. Restaurant manager Byron Lapola told NJ.com earlier this week that she remains off the schedule, at least temporarily.

“We’re still waiting for the owners to finish their investigation,” Lapola told the website. “It’s pretty complex, so until then we’re restraining comment.”
