Reply #34: It's not a person's politics...

There is a difference between ideological beliefs and believing the president was born in Kenya - they are not related.

Would you hire someone if you found out on their Facebook page they were a member of the KKK and had racist status updates about lynching blacks?

I guess you could consider that a political belief...

But when you're making a hire, you also have to make the hire based on character. I question the character of anyone who considers themselves a birther. I do not, however, question the character of someone who ideologically aligns with the Republican Party. I might not agree with them, but those are two separate issues, IMO.
