[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it just seems to me people shouldn't be fired for comments they made in the immediate aftermath of the event unless it was something extremely egregious and explicitly calling for more of the same. Emotions run high, and people on the right were immediately accusing everyone not in their camp of somehow being behind and part of the assassination.

Plus, TPUSA itself is geared and highly organized to monitor the speech of the opposition (as in the professor watchlist). There's nothing like that on the left that I can think of. Typically, when people get fired for, say, racist remarks or behavior, it seems to happen because someone posted it online and it spread from there. The very existence of a very well organized apparatus on the right to monitor and denounce the speech of others is certainly an intimidating factor, especially when it also has a direct line to an administration that is willing to steamroll any and all constitutional protections in its crusade to stamp out "leftist" ideology using its institutions.

So it’s OK to fire someone for saying something that you perceive to be racist but not OK to fire someone for saying “he had it coming”?  Is that your position? [/quote]
