I dunno why some of you conservatives here are at pains trying to refute this story when for the past year over on the Yahoo news boards, there's been a few conservative nitwits proudly boasting/spamming about how they 'fired a "liberal"'.
When i read this story, that was the first thought that came to mind. I guess it went from spamming message board boasts to reality for at least one jerkoff. But the sentiment and mindset from some on the right that "liberals" need to 'punished' has been there for a while if you bothered to look.
