Why should we care?

It's a private company and they are entitled to fire stupid troublemakers, regardless of their sex, gender, etc.

You know, just like how the company that handled the website for Stormfront was entitled to shut them down for being a bunch of bigoted hate-mongers a week or so ago. That was a hilarious event that sparked such stupid, two-faced outrage around here from the "business should be allowed do whatever they want - provided it hurts liberals" mob. Suck it up.

Okay...a few hundred? A fee thousand? Hell, I'll give you ten thousand.

I believe there were 70-80 million registered democrats.

Come on, Colorado. Let's he reasonable here. The actions of 10,000 extremist liberals DO NOT represent the views and opinions of tens of millions of more level-headed liberals/democrats. You 100% agree with that, right?????

the extremist crazy conservative idiot who murdered a woman in VA does NOT reflect all conservatives. I am well aware of that.

Surely you know that goes for extremist liberals...surely you do...right?

No surprise there.
And a "very high percentage of SJW's" still sums up to be a tiny minority in the grand scheme of things - far fewer than the number of right-wing extremists out there.

Look, the reality is that not everyone who opposes Trump, the Klan, bigots, religious nuts, and so forth is a "SJW" who thinks silly things like "all whites are evil" or "gays are better than straights" or some other nonsense. Those on the far-right live in angry terror of the "SJW" or "communist liberal loon" under every rock and around every corner, but these people are so rare that they almost don't exist. I've lived in hard blue states my whole life, and I've met TWO borderline SJW's - I've met over TWO DOZEN far more dangerous and hate-filled right-wingers. Now, imagine how bad those numbers would look in a red state.

I'm very tired of these strawman "proofs" from the far-right about "what liberals are really like." They can't counter the facts and righteous anger leveled against the numerous extremists in their own party, so they dredge up fringe-case, powerless crazies like this woman and prop them up as laughable strawmen to represent "real liberals." It's BS. "Real liberals" - progressives - don't hate whites, straights, Christians, or really any other such group. What we hate are HATERS. We hate people who USE their race, religious, sexual orientation, or wealth as weapons to use against those weaker than them. THAT is what we hate.

As for the case in question, as I said before, the company has the right to fire her. One could argue about the level of freedom of speech people really have in our current world, but that is not a partisan debate since companies can fire people for anything these days.

This thread is about one person, though.

Oh, you care. You'd be giddy with glee if she had said something about blacks or latinos and then been fired.

You don't agree with her position, but you're disappointed it wasn't someone saying something about blacks or latinos. You can't smear all conservatives with this story.

I didn't know you had it in you. Great post. Nutjobs on both sides do not define the entirety of R or D or left or right.

Thanks. +1
