Once again. Sigh. People don't understand free speech. Did a government official show up at her residence and arrest her? No. Freedom of speech is the right to articulate opinions and ideas without fear of GOVERNMENT retaliation or sanction. Freedom of speech does not mean people can't challenge what you say or they have to agree because of "freedom of speech." You say something I don't agree with, I'm free to say something about it. I say something you don't like (this post) you are free to not like it and say something about it. Exercising my First Amendment rights in this post. Get it?
Besides, it was the dude she interviewed that started this. She only responded to what he said (I read his comments ...ugly). And she didn't respond on-air, but on her Facebook page!
This is the radical Left. They are intolerant of anyone who doesn't think like they do. One poster criticized her for her "archaic beliefs." Christianphobia? I think so.
I'm sorry but she's just weird. It honestly seemed like she was drunk.
And her right to free speech was infringed upon. The first amendment applies to state actors aka the government. The private company that fired her isn't bound to that.
Maybe Jan Brady can take her place and finally have her spot in the limelight.
Thank gawd there's always someone around to remind us that free speech can only be CONSTITUTIONALLY infringed upon by a branch of the government. Otherwise, who'd know?
Newsflash: Private companies can and do infringe upon their employees' free speech. They CAN, but that doesn't mean that they're not muzzling their employees. Companies who lower the boom on expressing some opinions while embracing others had better get used to being called intolerant hypocrites.
So, give me a break. This is simply one more case of the Rainbow Mafia getting someone canned for not spouting the PC line.

So by that rationale, can an employer fire you because of your religion?
But a quarterback is defended for exercising his free speech while at work?
I support homophobics' right to free speech. They should not be arrested by the government for what they say. I'm happy that didn't happen in this case.
