Curt Schilling: Another victim of the politically correct thought police (speech, party)

[voiceofreazon]

So the politically correct thought police claim another victim.
Remember! If you step out of line, hold the "wrong" opinion on an issue and express it on your personal social media account, you too can be fired!

Remember! Progressives are the party of tolerance! ... until you disagree with them

Disney/ESPN will keep firing people to make room for H1B visas.

Boohoo. Actions have consequences, even if you're rich and famous.

I think a sleeping giant is ready to awaken in this country and destroy this liberal mantra we have been saddled with.

Exactly. I just love how Righties who love, love, love to tout "personal responsibility" only apply that concept to people they don't like -- the poor, minorities, women, gays and transsexuals, etc. -- and ignore "personal responsibility" when it's applied to one of their own bigoted cretins.

Oh please, your spin is so fake. There aren't supposed to be "consequences" for expressing an opinion.

Good for ESPN, they are a media brand and being associated with Shillings could hurt or tarnish their reputation. This isn't the first time this has happened.

This is a perfect example of how speech in America isn't really free. In reality, speech can be very costly.

No consequences for expressing an opinion? What world do you live in?

Yep, the action which had a consequence was exercising his first amendment rights on a personal social media account, while off the clock at ESPN.
