http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2016/08/04/antonio-sabato-jr-says-was-blacklisted-by-hollywood-directors-after-supporting-donald-trump.html "It’s been interesting," he told Variety. "I’ve had fantastic directors who have said officially to my agents and managers they will never hire me again. They will never even see me for projects. That’s unfair. It’s just like Communism." I don't like Islam, super loud and clear about that, but I have employed Muslims in the past, many Muslims, and I do business with Muslims now. When it comes to business. It's about merit. Whoever does the best job, gets the job. I no longer consider race or religion or political affiliation into it. They are non-factors and does not affect this person's ability to do a good job, as long as he or she does a great job, then that person is the person I'm going with. If he or she provides the best product, or the best service, then he or she is the person I am going with. So that is some real Nazism/discrimination going on over there, refusing to employ people anymore for supporting Trump. Is this what the left advocates?

Antonio Sabato Jr. is a has been actor who has not gotten any significant roles in years because he can't act for shit. His biggest role ever was a stint on General Hospital in his late teens/early twenties. He was hot to look at and had a chiseled torso taht he flaunted every show. Once younger and hotter boys came on, he lost his appeal. Since then, I can think of one thing I have seen him in-an episode of Castle where he played a washed-up aging actor who was trying to revive the show that made him famous in his teens. He has gotten more attention for his involvement with Trump than he has had in 20 years, and he is milking it for all he can. Whining like this keeps him in the public eye and he's hoping to get more roles for it.

you have to understand that their is a difference between the liberals and ISIS only by name. The ISIS mindset is prevalent in the US. "If you don't go with the flow, we'll hurt you". It is clearly seen in the homosexual agenda, illegal immigration etc. Entertainers have said for years that you have to live a double life if your at all conservative in Hollywood.

Apart from being a cute has been, he isnt employed, until he gets offered the part and signs the contract...deal,whatever...many "rw" actors complain about not getting work ...theres a big difference in being passed over to being fired on the job, for being politically "undesirable".

It doesn't matter if he got big roles or small roles, he has been getting roles, probably small ones here and there to continue make a living. But if this endorsement caused him even lose the small jobs his been getting. Looking at his acting history here, he has still been regularly getting acting jobs. Then it is discrimination.

It's not being passed over, it's refusing intentionally to even consider him anymore for any roles, because his a Trump supporter. It's the same as Christian people refusing to sell gay people wedding cakes! Discrimination.

Of course it's discrimination. But, choosing the person that provides you the best service, or the best product, you're discriminating against everyone else. Is that wrong? No. No, it isn't. This guy is pissed that he's being overlooked. Well, tough shit. You have the freedom to speak your mind. You have the freedom to align yourself with anyone you want. You do NOT have the freedom to not face any consequence of your actions, however.

well bounty has been positing that for over a year, so its hardly new. But this sock is so vacuous in his posts that it cannot be taken seriously, not that it was before hand to be fair.

It's not okay to discriminate against Muslims but okay to discriminate against a Trump voter. Both pick their leaders by choice. Muslims follows Muhammad and IF Muhammad exists in this time period, ya be sure they are voting him for President. Trump voters follow Trump. It's a pick and choose who is okay to discriminate against, base on your personal leanings.

Bout how it is Greta. Crazy. But then people belong to labor unions which use part of those union dues to support certain candidates. And those candidates are not always picked because they will benefit the union members. However, labor unions are full of people who could not hold a job and negotiate for as much money they make. Trade unions are different, though they might support raising the minimum wage because a bunch of them base their pay scale on it. For example 5X the minimum wage or 7X the minimum wage, depends on the job and experience. That formula does change though because as an apprentice gains experience the ratio changes. For one, they want to be doing good for their members and for two, some of them charge dues based on a percentage of income. (few, but some) Trade unions also provide training and assure quality work, something that labor unions rarely do. But the union can easily put you out of work if you piss them off. Is that all that much different than the company doing it ? And unions are under alot less regulations than companies, they cannot be sued for shit like this, well they can but you're not going to win. It is easier to win against a company. Everything is crazy here. T^T

Regarding discrimination from hollywood.. Has nobody heard of the "casting couch???? Or would you like to think about the sex discrimination in fox news by AIles and his buddies here is more discrimination from hollywood. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/federal-officials-investigate-gender-discrimination-exists-hollywood/story?id=39044568 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/hollywood-racism/ http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/07/constance-wu-on-racism-hollywood-fresh-off-the-boat.html https://www.buzzfeed.com/maryanngeorgantopoulos/women-directors-share-stories-of-discrimination-in-hollywood?utm_term=.vv7NeBRn1A#.llJ70ZV5Y9 http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-disabled-actors-hollywood-20160717-snap-story.html Of course there was the communist black list against hollywood "commie sympathisers" back in the 40s & 50s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_blacklist

You didn't hear this sort of whiney bleating from people who got blacklisted during the McCarthy era, did you?

People cannot be discriminated against on the basis of those things which are a fundamental aspect of who they are. Race, gender, creed, color. I personally draw the line at transgender because I think that's a mental illness, not an inalienable aspect of someone's humanity, but the law is heading in that direction. Political beliefs are a choice. The law protects you from government retribution for expressing your political beliefs. This has no impact upon the hiring decisions of private enterprise, nor should it. Any such law would be unconstitutional and - in practical terms - completely impossible to police and enforce. Besides, Antonio Sabata Jr is a model, not an actor. He doesn't get work because he can't fucking act. Idiot!

It's the same as Christian people refusing to sell gay people wedding cakes! Discrimination. It's not the same thing. When you're being paid for your time, that time belongs to your employer - your own political, religious views get kept to yourself unless your employer decides otherwise. Refusing to sell a wedding cake is refusing to be hired. Which in general I don't have a problem with...but....they sell wedding cakes to other couples that they think are "sinning" - ie: different religions, Atheists, etc. So they've already set the precedent of selling to others.
