i got no problem with her being fired. It's the secret service considering her words a threat. Like CE mentioned and piper pointed out, nothing was mentioned about people openly threatening Romney, but say you wouldn't be upset if the current gets got, and you're a terrorist.
Double standard, cut and dried
Not to mention complete and utter treading on 1st amendment rights
Next year nobody will remember and her working for a company won't effect profits. Also Rick, that's why you won't see me posting things like that, or anything really, on Facebook. As for here, maybe half a dozen people even know my last name.
It all comes back to the thing I've read on here thousands of times, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.Agreed. They call it twitter because its populated by twits.
I hope its as simple as that for her.

I misread what you posted. Given that this issue followed her to work, became a huge deal on various social media sites, and so on, why is it such a big deal to you that she got canned?
I mean, if you would've done the same thing, or at least considered doing the same thing, why are you so upset they did that? It doesn't make sense.
i think some are fixating on the job/firing issue. There's more to that article. In posting this thread, my intent was to say that your freedom of speech can be seen as an act of terrorism. Or at least get you in the sh*tInvestigating=/=pressing charges
The 1st Amendment protects you only from government sanction, nothing else.

My initial posts dealt with working people vs people on public assistance and the right of people to publicly voice their opinion . Working people lose their jobs over things like this. People on public assistance don't. The checks just keep coming. Therefore their (those on public assistance) freedom of speech is greater. Again, I'm not condoning the message.
What I meant was if you are on welfare and not working and post something like this against a Republican the checks keep coming. If you are working and paying taxes you get fired. She should now get on welfare, food stamps, and try for unemployment.
As long as they don't do it on company time, on company property, or on company letter head they are free to say what they want.
As long as their free speech has no negative impact on my company nothing. If I saw it might impact my business explain to them they are free to say what they want. But should it follow them to work it will be a problem.
Is talking in gibberish and missing teeth a freedom too?So the point is, we should be jealous of the freedom to be ignorant and racist that comes with poverty.
You report any of them?Funny how that works, I saw a forum that was loaded with AA's stating that if Romney wins that they would personally assassinate him!
yep, it made some news. But I guess as long as no one reports it...Funny how that works, I saw a forum that was loaded with AA's stating that if Romney wins that they would personally assassinate him!

Never liked fakebook, never used it and never will!!!!!:what:
Yet the double standard is in full play here.
All kinds of folks posted about rioting and assassinating Romney if he won.
But I haven't seen a single report where anything was done to them..
lolSome how i dont see the katrina dog guy posting in this thread again
