      So Michael, should employees have such protections from this kind of thing that a Jewish boss would be duty bound to keep paying Nazi symp?

      I've never made that argument. I'm arguing that this raises serious questions about the employer/employee power dynamic.

      The serious question is whether employers ought to be able to terminate employees at-will for engaging in political speech off-hours.

          You're advocating a feudal Lord/Serf relationship. It looks like the right thing to do, because it hurts people we don't like, but it isn't.

          Nazism isn't just "political speech." It is openly inciting VIOLENCE. It is a belief system based on ETHNIC CLEANSING. Stop defending it.

          Yes, if that speech results in a real or potential impact to the employer's business (e.g., a targeted boycott), which is very likely here.
