I'm creating this because I really want to see, if my theory is correct. Looking at the thread/poll regarding Anita Dunn, it appears that zero leftists/liberals would call for Dunns ouster. So, here's my question to my fellow conservatives: Let's say the scenario is identical, but instead of Dunn and Obama, the WH communications director was an conservative as was the POTUS. She's giving a speech in a high school and uses the exact quotes in the video of Dunn in the other thread, except she lists Hitler ans MLK in place of Mao and Mother Theresa. Would you call for her immediate firing? Thanks

Of course. She wouldn't last five minutes after a comment like that.

No. We need those people to fix our economy right now.
I oppose legalizing same sex marriage as hardcore as the most conservative people. If it is possible, we should not provide foodstamp to those single moms with whole bunch of kids who don't who is their father.

It would be a really stupid thing to do but I don't think anyone should be fired for their personal views as long as they keep them separate from the work.

the poll is flawed, Hitler was far left wing, not right. Might be more appropriate if you used someone like Timothy mcVeigh which was a far right kook.

Timothy Mcveigh supported and believed in nazism. He was not far right.

Thats right, I was trying to think of someone that believed in less government, more libertarian that killed thousands of individuals and he first came to mind.

Any suggestions of a right wing kook who killed thousands, or are they all left wingers?

ok, I'm a little confused here, according to you, McVeigh was a bad example becaue he was left wing, Nazi supporter, but Hitler, who was from Nazi Germany, and helped the rise of the Nazi Party was a good example?

You cant have it both ways, Nazi supporters left wing, but Nazi members right? I think not. They were both left so who can we list right wing that killed thousands.
