    Why the hell do people think you can only be fired for something illegal? The government has to respect your freedom of (bigoted) speech, not your employer.

      I can't wait until his minions start with their completely incorrect understanding of freedom of speech. Everyone should be armed with this.

      I would imagine that it has something to do with what it means to live in a free society, where differences of thoughts are meant to be able to coexist.

    Those dudes have always been fucking scumbags and I hated that they were a part of one of my favorite radio stations in Boston. It was always obvious that he was a fucking racist shitbag and that prank that got them run out of Boston was not funny at all. Fuck him. Fuck Opie. Glad he got fired.

      Yeah, even my grandma who is a bit of a racist and a firm believer in conspiracies and faith-healing thought that Opie & Anthony were complete raccists.

    He does have a point. I once got fired from a job for repeatedly coming in late and drunk. Show me where in the constitution it says that's illegal? You can't.

    Political Correctness run amok.

      Is that what happened in this case or are you incapable of constructing a meaningful and logical analogy?

      It is what happened in this case. Anthony got fired for something that wasn't illegal just like me! We're the real persecuted ones.

    Trying not to feed trolls here so I'm starting my own thread.

    Nobody deserves to be assaulted - no one is saying that white men deserve assault or that it's not a big deal when a white man is assaulted.

    But to believe that this dickhole was a victim of a hate crime assault and that speaking out about it is what got him fired? That is beyond delusional. He made that clear himself.

    He digitally patted himself on the back about not murdering a woman who he was antagonizing, and taking creepy photographs of (when women are already routinely victimized, assaulted, and robbed of their dignity on a regular basis, WOC even more so than white women). He tweeted vicious, violent, disgusting hate speech. What he said was chilling in its awfulness.

    To say that he has been victimized by this firing is hateful. It erases people and their experiences. It puts this man's hateful language above the safety and dignity of an entire group of people. He took this beyond the incident with the woman on the street. Fucking A. Pay attention. Read what he was saying. How can people defend this shit?

    I am so tired of people trying to act like people like Anthony Cumia are fucking oppressed. I am so tired of people jumping in on shit like this, and the Hobby Lobby ruling, and countless other things, and acting like it's all about the oppression of white men. Are you kidding me?! Sit the fuck down. I am so done with this shit this week.

      I agreed whole heartedly. I'll be honest, I'm a huge fan of the show, but ANYONE would get fired for what he did.

      I wouldn't be so happy. No one is signing up to Sirius XM over this, but many are unsubscribing. Look at the #CancelSiriusXM hashtag on Twitter. Maybe your company should have thought more about appeasing the people who actually pay for the service rather than bloggers who wouldn't spare a dime on it either way.

    So, he wanted his employers to pay for his promiscuous speech, even though it was against their morals? Well, now he's free to pay for it himself.

      Define "promiscuous speech" please. Or did you just throw in a big word in an attempt to make yourself sound intelligent?

      In this case, does his speech have sex with random partners?

      Did you ask me to define a word you could easily look up, on a source such as dictionary.com, in an attempt to make yourself sound unintelligent?

      "Sex with random partners" is not the single definition of "promiscuous", and that is not the sense in which the word was used in this case. However, should his speech develop such a capability, I would hope it engages in sex as responsibly as possible.

      Yeah, Beaker does imply some base level of education that I suspect the majority of their audience is lacking. Plus, Muppet.

      Under this train of thought, I demand my old job continue paying me. So what if I moved away, quit and flip off the building any time I pass by it? It isn't illegal to move and quit your job. How dare they stop paying me. Thanks, Anthony Cumia!
