Yes DC, he bragged about firing 2 employees who voted against his wishes.


Wonderful guy huh?

I wish they would sue his ass out of business.

Now that is just flat bullshit, Mike.

* My comment remains the same after reading your edit. BULLSHIT!


Well I missed the first version, but I would have to agree with you on the revised copy. I wonder where he finds paint brushes that large?

No, that was image on TV. Hipshooter was the navy pilot. As was W's dad.  He got into the Texas Air National Guard in front of about 160 people (no stats on who was black, white, green, grey and so on in that list) as a draft dodge outta Viet Nam as a favor to his connected dad. 

Privilege?  Sure.   Hey, all Colin Powells kid got for a bone, was head of FCC.  Thats how them white folk will do you. 

As far as possible, I'd leave the chimp's old man out of this. He was the last candidate the Republicans put up whose military record wasn't a complete joke, and did a much better job of serving his country during wartime than his son or Maverick McCain could boast.

I couldn't believe it either. I had to ask him to clarify it.

He was quite proud of it.

He is a true American!

Seriously.

If I find the energy to pull up the quotes I will.

But I think enough people on here can verify that Truckin has claimed to have fired anyone working for him that voted for Obama.

How he would know that is anyone's guess.

But ask him.

He doesn't seem shy about it.



thishereboi -> RE: James Webb: Diversity and the Myth of White Privilege (7/24/2010 8:49:50 AM)

I vaguely remember that thread, but I can't remember how he said he found out. I do remember thinking it was one of the dumbest reasons for firing someone I could think of, but that's about it. I think there might be a self defense mechanism in my brain that automatically deletes most of the bs I read on here.



Moonhead -> RE: James Webb: Diversity and the Myth of White Privilege (7/24/2010 8:51:30 AM)

Obviously an old fashioned sort. I thought the reason a secret ballot came in in the first place was to stop that sort of things. Factory workers and landholders ordering their employees how to vote used to be a serious problem a couple of hundred years back.



Jeffff -> RE: James Webb: Diversity and the Myth of White Privilege (7/24/2010 8:55:48 AM)

Not to mention it is against the law. It violates their constitutional rights.

I can see why he hates the ACLU.

He is above the Constitution.


I can see Rich cringing everything trukinslave posts.

Then explain to me how legacy admissions differ.


1. They are not based on race.
2. They are not enforced at great expense by the federal fucking government.
3. They are not, insofar as I know, a de facto quota system.

I'm not saying I think they're great. But to say they are the same thing is not to have given the matter any thought.

Not shy about much. Did it. Quite happy to have done it. When/if I hire again I will ask applicants if they are registered voters, and of what party.
And I will have my own little affirmative action program for those registered Republican.

It is a system where a certain category of people are favored at the expense of others.

So let's talk about that whole thought thingy.

It is legal to discriminate in any situation, and for any criterion, not made specifically illegal.
Hiring/firing by political affiliation or (suspected) voting is not proscribed.

The week Obama was elected I fired the two guys on my payroll who voted for him. And told them why.

I had five drivers at the time. I determined through casual conversation that two had voted for Obama, two had not voted, and one had voted for McCain. I fired the two because they voted for him.

And told the others to start looking for other jobs a month or so later. Trucking was already in a bad way.....

I still have one truck for sale if you're interested.



Jeffff -> RE: James Webb: Diversity and the Myth of White Privilege (7/24/2010 9:13:47 AM)

Bullshit...complete and utter bullshit.

The right to vote is sacrosanct.

You are an asshole and it is ILLEGAL to do that.

Are you really this stupid?

I was going to provide you with citations but then realized who does not know that it is illegal to fire someone on that basis?

Too bad the people that worked for you didn't realize they could be owning your ass by now

ANY system beyond a random draw doea that. When hospitals hire doctors they favor the class of people that have graduated from law school.

I'm not defending legacy admissions per se. But the thought that they are the same thing as race-based admissions is not well considered.



Jeffff -> RE: James Webb: Diversity and the Myth of White Privilege (7/24/2010 9:20:27 AM)

Yes he really is that stupid. So are his employees if they didn't sue him.

Makes me happy I don't live in W.VA.

Can you show me the law, the case law, or even a considered legal opinion?

No?
