    So we agree that the business does not agree with free association.

    You mean like when employers used to hire black people and gay people because it wasn't "popular" to be black or gay 50 years ago?

    You'd be behind firing a black or gay person for the same reason?

    So why post a sign saying you agree with free association?

    Don't be a dick. If you think that hiring people who were ostracized for skin color or sexual preference in any way equates to the horror that is the Nazi, you are lost.

    It's no different.

    When you think it's justified for something you do like, while not justified for something you don't like, you're the dick.

    Bull and crap. If he had been a problem regarding his political and personal opinions, he would have been fired already for how he treated people.

    You set a standard which was: firing someone because they represent a threat to the business.

    You think it's justified to fire this man for two reasons: you hate his ideology and you accept the left's violence that might be directed at him and the business.

    The crime isn't his ideology, the crime is that you accept the violence that might be perpetrated against him for his beliefs.

    Just more hypocritical leftism.

    I posted no such sign but agree we are all free to associate...I believe I have made that abundantly clear. Equally clear would be your inability to understand direct and blatant concepts and the written word.

    I am not the one promoting hatred and violence, either. Maybe they could be sent to Guantanamo for a stay.

    Bull S**t again. It's like finding you have hired a Taliban supporter. Nazi have killed far more Americans than the Taliban ever thought of. It's like finding out you hired a mob wise guy. Just because they have flown undercover to this point, doesn't mean you have to subject your other employees and the health of your business to keep them on. That's just BS.

    Excuse me, but it would be the left and Right's violence toward him, because I can't believe that it is a left or right thing. It is an
    American thing, yes? I would fire his sorry ass too.

    Conservatives aren't a violent group. You didn't see examples of the kind of violence we have now during either of Obama's terms.

    The left is the group that attacks people when they don't get their way.

    Yeah? How many Nazi related deaths have happened in the US?

    Where where all the Nazi killings and violence during Obama's two terms?

    The violence in VA wouldn't have happened if the left didn't show up looking for a fight.

    Besides, if a Taliban member in the US got fired, we both know lefties would be marching over the horror of racism.

    We aren't talking conservatives - we are talking f**king nazi. And hell yes, they are violent. Have been for decades. They extort, they murder cops, they run drugs. I don't blame conservatives, even though many nazi are conservative - but don't try to tell me that roses grow from the asses of all conservatives, cause I'll call BS every time. I've seen what American nazi are capable of.

    Great.

    Now give us some examples of them rioting and attacking leftist groups practicing their 1A rights.

    This still has nothing to do with his job. If he was a Nazi wouldn't this have become evident to his employer before now? This guy worked at Berkeley for piss sakes.

    Getting fired for your personal beliefs for going to a rally is bull****.

    That's not correct. Only public employees and union workers are protected.

    The funny part is that he was right wing and so were those thugs, and they were violent.

    Would there have been violence if the left hadn't shown up looking to take away their 1A rights?

    Would they have looted, burned and destroyed property like Berkeley, Portland and DC?

    The violence happened because the left attacked them.

    The group that got ran over had been punching reporters from The Hill prior to the vehicle attack, and were clearly carrying weapons.

    You can defend them all day long. The fact is that they are hateful and violent.

    I'm not defending anyone, I'm stating facts.

    The truth is, the left labels anyone and everyone from the right as "racist" and "Nazi's". It's smeared on with a broad brush in the first place.

    It's also true that these groups are not going to liberal rallies and attacking people, and that the violence only happened because the left showed up and tried to shut down their 1A rights with physical violence.

    Your "facts" are incorrect. The left does not label anyone from the right in that way, only those who are that way.
