First health care, now jobs: Right wing advocates discriminating against Obama voters.

Today on Twitter, hate radio host Neal Boortz advocated that businesses fire Obama voters to deal with the tough economy:

Steve Benen writes, “Obviously, as a substantive matter, this doesn’t make any sense. As a legal matter, it’s a crime to fire an employee based on how he or she voted.” Discriminating against Obama voters seems to be a new trend for the right wing. In Florida recently, a doctor posted a sign reading, “If you voted for Obama…seek urologic care elsewhere.”
