It's sad when you get companies that take such a heavy handed approach on a given political position/statement on which they disagree. Under the previous administration you had legislation that potentially threatened free speech. With this administration their supporters do it for them - take Whole Foods' CEO or even manipulating images to suit their narratives as is the case of some in the media: http://meganmcardle.theatlantic.com/archives/2009/08/was_the...

It seems that it's not enough to disagree - there are those who want to silence and destroy those who do. While not a new phenomenon (I'm sure you could find plenty of conservatives where this is the case), they're actively doing it now. I am hoping for better from those with liberal views who should be as much at arms about these foolish acts as they were about the previous administration.
