I have no time for people won't defend the free speech of those they don't like.
Go take your hatred and bigotry elsewhere
It's not a free speech issue. Only the government has to respect your free speech rights. No one else does.
That said the idea that companies fire people for legal, but reprehensible speech, is deeply troubling. It's easy to justify with Nazis because they're just so hate-able and no one's going to lose sleep over a Nazi asshole who loses his job. But what happens when it's not a Nazi but some guy who holds a view that run counter to the majority? What happens if your deeply held views become out of fashion and you get fired for holding them?
