Reply #363: Really? Several SF attorney friends of mine would love to argue that legal point.

But she wasn't fired, so that legal point in dispute is moot.

MYTH: The First Amendment only applies to the Federal government.

The issue of free speech is much broader than you are addressing and comes into play when people attempt to shut down what other's say simply because they don't like it. And it is that overreaching by the Clinton Campaign that is unpalatable.

On a personal note, I was at that event and it was a fundraiser for Green 960. Two Hillary supporters were there and, in fact, shoved their chairs in front of people sitting on the floor in typical Clinton boorish fashion, and no doubt their tongues were wagging over what they heard. Their mantra? Must shut down all that is not pro-Clinton, something they wield against the media, demanding people be fired.

I'm calling bullshit on it regardless of your free pass.
