Im sorry, but the job applicant should not have listed anything political on the application.

I thought the left were tolerant of everyone and everything.

Oh wait, that is if you only agree with them. Sounds like a lawsuit. Otherwise that whole not allowed to discriminate on race, gender, religion, and country of origin type stuff needs to be thrown out.

This is what hate crimes legislation and discrimination laws have given us. No one asks “Is it OK to discriminate?” anymore. First, you have to check and see if the object of your intolerance is in a protected class. If they are not, then it is fine to discriminate against them.

Pathetic!

If the reference to Federalist Society was relating to legal work done on behlaf of the society, then that is completely relevant.

Volunteer work (if that’s what this is about) is a perfectly valid thing to list on a resume.

Actually, as I recall the article, a least a couple of partners in this joker’s firm are conservative. If I were one of them, I’d be more than a little irate. The partner in question was acting on behalf of the partnership. In effect, he’s using the firm’s resources to advance his own personal agenda.

Of course it is OK to discriminate against Conservatives. It is only liberals and minorities that you can’t do this to. I am sure it is somewhere in the US Constitution.

Yes, but he is a Liberal, and as such would IMMEDIATELY file charges of discrimination against his partners if he were so much as denied a box of paperclips.

Liberals always have two standards, one for the way they treat other people; then a separate and completely opposite standard for how THEY must be treated.

I figure this guy shows more ethics than many; he asked if it was right or not. Most simply just do it, I suspect.

The response from the clown at the NYT is pretty sad though, he has to bash the tea party for being violent and extremist – that’s the mindless template the left just applies to it without bothering to even find out, more’s the pity – just to establish his leftist credentials so he can tell the guy not to follow through on his impulses.

Then he reports in an update that the guy did it anyway.

My step-dad is pretty liberal, and he owns an insulation business. I think he hires the most stereotypical redneck racist type people (who tend to self-identify as conservatives around here) he can find, solely in order to reinforce his opinion about what consevatives are. It’s a dirty trick, but it is kind of fun to watch their faces when he explains to a new guy (after about the 50th time they drop the n-bomb) that his best friend and original business partner in the company(now deceased) was a black man.

Maybe, or maybe he was just looking for a way to rationalize what he had already decided to do.

“Look, see? I wrote a letter to the editor about it. That means I gave it serious thought and came to a considered and rational conclusion.”
