        people are being fired for marching to support the murder and exile if others based on race and religion. that's not a political belief

        Yes it is. Plenty of political beliefs are violent.

        You ask people to uphold a status-quo that, earlier, you explain hasn't been applied to leftists. Why is this seemingly a last straw?

        Plus, all of the potential exceptions described are very reasonable, and very applicable here. Why use such a weak test case?

        Justified only if they bring it to the work place. You cannot tell someone how to think...or else.

        Very solid analysis. Thank you. And well done for reminding people of the McCarthyite precedent.

        It's equivalent to firing someone who believes in abortion or supports gay rights and it's wrong, until or unless they express violence

        The other side of the right to free speech is the right to free association. It's a sticky issue, but opinions aren't a protected class.

        Most US workers don't have protection from unjust firing. Let the Nazis fight workplace discrimination like every other marginalized group.

        Does forceful censure include those who write for the Young Turks, named after the group responsible for the genocide of 1.5m Armenians?

        It is not justified. The line is too thin between "repugnant" political beliefs and legitimate, though unpopular, dissent, i.e. 9/11 truth.

        Anything that is actively searched out on private profiles, private time, etc. is just a fascist witch hunt.
