Kevin is free to be a Nazi over there. We don't have to listen to it over here.
Sigh. Did you not even read the examples I gave. These people are not Nazis, and the majority of them have been keeping their opinions to themselves. They're being targeted for things like having a political sign, wearing a hat, posting on a "bad" site when it's not even anything controversial that they're saying, or even in some cases just appearing in a photograph with someone wearing a red hat. Donating to a politician, was also something people were being targeted for - some have published donor lists and enlisted aid to track down the employers of everyone on the list to get them fired. And it's not usually customers who are even going after them. Actually, you know what, just click on the link to Greenwald's opinion piece - it's not the whole scope of things by any means, but yeah, I don't think you realize what is actually happening and he goes into some of it.
