re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]
No, but it does show inconsistency on both sides. The same people that are outraged by this, weren't outraged by those on the left that have been fired for speaking their mind and beliefs.
I have no problem with someone holding the opinion that someone shouldn't be fired for speaking their belief as long as it is consistent. Likewise I have no problem with those that believe a company has the right to fire someone if their speak harms the company. I just think incredible biasness gets in the way when its someone on the left or right that does it and there are people on both sides that are hypocrites about it.
Is one instance of a "wrong" any less a "wrong" because another "wrong" occurred?
