I am a bit confused, do people not believe that employers who hire someone to represent them and whatever they are doing don't have the right to fire people who they think might harm their image or run afoul of their personal beliefs or the personal beliefs of their customers?
Seriously that is ridiculous I remember when I was a college kid working in a coffee shop and the owner, who was a woman, fired a co-worker for making a sexist joke to a customer. I cannot say I think there is anything wrong with that kind of firing. Employees especially in the service industry are there to represent their employer and that employer has a right to control the image his or her company presents so if they don't like your politics or your piercings or whatever they should not be obliged to retain you.
Is that why she was booked to do a popular show in San Francisco?
Obviously, she was hired long before she blew herself up by stepping onto a tea part minefield.
Plays are not movies; they require long rehearsal time before the performance is ever opened to the public. Like any job, there's time off, and Alonzo used some of hers to kill what's left of her acting career.
Too bad, too. The Vagina Monologues have revived many an actresses' fading career, including Margo Kidder's, who was, for a long time, considered by Hollywood to be as crazy as a peach orchard boar. Alonso was never thought to be crazy on her prime; the play had the potential to do her a lot of good for a long time, and she blew it, so maybe she's suffering late-onset crazy. I don't think she's gonna get any future jobs from the teabaggers.

Why should one's political beliefs have anything to do with this? They are teapartiers not "baggers". Just what do these Latinos object to about the Teaparty? Oh gosh, they want respect for our borders and immigration laws. Oh the horror! Since when is any ethnic group above those laws?

Political beliefs should not play a part, but they do with a lot of things these days.
Since the teabaggers called themselves that term first, I always thought they liked it.
Partiers sounds worse to me; partiers were the dropout stoners who got loaded out behind the field lockers before they left school, with big plans to amount to nothing when they grew up. Party down, dude, if that's your preference.
Since I'm neither Latino or Hispanic, I'm not the one to ask as to why Latinos object to the tea party.
Don't you spend a lot of time in the illegal immigration forum? If so, you probably already know who to direct this question to.
I have no idea who is horrible or what is horrible. Or if any ethnic group is above the law or not. Please enlighten me.
As for the topic of the thread this is what the Actress had to say :
"They were saying they were going to burn down the theater, they were going to boycott [the
show,]" Alonso told Fox News.
The actress said she dropped out of the production so the controversy didn't eclipse the show.
"This is a thing for me," she said, noting her cast-mates "don't have to go through that."
So she wasn't fired, but had to resign to remove any threats and controversy. Spin it how you want to liberals but that is what happened. The "tolerant" ones strikes again.
2 . This is not about the Tea Party, this is about a person who was forced to resign because they supported a different view point. Way to miss the point oftthis this thread.
What if this was turned around? What if she supported things that you like, such as gay marriage or gun control or occupy wall street? And what if she got fired and Blacklisted for supporting those things? You would be rallying behind her and you know it. Why the double standard?
Phil Robertson comes to mind. I wonder what he had to say about THAT issue?
The nerve of this intolerant actress to oppose "what we believe"!
I don't know what you believe so I can't speak to any part of that.
