The huffington post editors room:
Wow, so much diversity. I guess this is what xhomerx10 means when he says it is a left winged news source. They simply do not hire black people.
Imagine that. A left-wing news blog not wanting to publish right-leaning political rhetoric.
No doubt he was fired "with cause". I read the article about Hillary's health and it was very poorly written; laced with immature hyperbole.
He's right to be afraid but not for his reasons. He should be afraid he'll be unable to land another writing gig... anywhere #Orwellianmyass
Criticism of Hillary Clinton is not right leaning political rhetoric, because Hillary is right winged. Also, the article was not poorly written, it fared quite well on their website before it was taken down actually. Also, if he were fired "with cause", the standard procedure is to give a written notice of their decision to remove the article, and to terminate employment. The way he was terminated was very clandestine. He was just doing his job, reporting on a potential presidential candidate's health concerns, as Huffington Post had similarly done in 2008 regarding John McCain (You'll be using the phrase "double standards" a lot when it comes to liberalism).
Also, as for your statement about being "unable to land another writing gig", he has already landed a temporary contract with PrisonPlanet.
Just curious, why defend an obvious fascist on a forum like Bitcointalk?
I didn't defend anyone. The article IS political rhetoric AND it sucked ass. It was a cheeky opinion piece (aside from lesions, siezure and adrenaline pens). Also, Hillary is a democrat ergo left-wing. You are simply wrong on that point.
If he was doing his job, he would not have lost his contract. He was not an employee of Huffington Post; merely a contributor so it's dead easy to get rid of him. Sure Alex Jones will give him a chance at PrisonPlanet but when he doesn't pass muster Alex will turf him as well. Alex doesn't have much interest in crypto currency - what else can Seaman write about?
Hillary Clinton is not left wing. Her voting record supports my statement. Her campaign logo is an arrow pointing
right, she got her influence from Barry Goldwater, who happened to vote against the Civil Rights Act.
In fact, in 1996, she claimed she was still proud of her conservative roots.
"I feel like my political beliefs are rooted in the conservatism that I was raised with. I don’t recognize this new brand of Republicanism that is afoot now, which I consider to be very reactionary, not conservative in many respects.
I am very proud that I was a Goldwater girl."
Barry Goldwater was a segregationist, meaning he supported policies which deemed the white man superior to all other races.
Furthermore, Hillary Clinton voted
for the Iraq War, referring to it as a "business opportunity". The war is considered to be a complete disaster by liberals and conservatives alike in modern times. She also has close ties with Henry Kissinger, who is notorious for his advocacy of the military industrial complex.
She also voted for legislation which bailed out Wall Street (ie intervention in the market, but beneficial to the 1%, which puts her in the Republican spot). While Bush signed TARP in 2008, Hillary Clinton was one of its advocates, voting for it to take effect.
Additionally, Hillary Clinton voted for the Patriot Act in 2001, then again to reauthorize it in 2006. Again, not very left winged. Then finally, she also voted for 2006 legislation to
create a border fence between the US and Mexico. She has blamed the Mexican government for "pushing migration North" in a very Trumpish manner. Again, these are all signs that she is a right winged Republican, not a Democrat.
I look at what the voting record is, I look at what they do, not just what they say. Because Hillary Clinton will say anything to get elected.
