Discussion: Boston News Site Fires Editor After Complaint From Boehner's Office

Discussion for article #232125

For someone with such a thin (orange) skin about personal insults, the Speaker is very tolerant of the hatred spewed toward our President and his wife.

Boehner is poisoning himself…With all the booze and cigarettes, probably free, he is doing it to himself…And as an example of American Exceptionalism he should quit smoking and drinking or lose his salary, and benefits if he doesn’t, just like what ALL fucking douche bag insurance companies are forcing the rest of us to do…Test em, and fire em if they can’t pass the same tests the rest of us are forced into…

Is Bonehead Boehner’s office demanding that Arkansas fire the police who used photos of black Americans for target practice at the police firing range?

Is Boehner going to demand that KKK and David Duke buddy Republican Rep. Scalise resign?

Republicans = KKK + NRA = party of racism and hatred.

America is becoming more divided because of Republicans like Boehner.

A few days ago, a group of so-called “Constitutional sheriffs” stood outside of the Capitol and screamed for the lynching of President Obama. Boehner never said a fucking word. Since 2009, members of the House have called Obama every vile name outside of “ni**er”, and spread every insane rumor they, in their fevered, delusional brains, could think of about Barack Obama, and John Boehner didn’t make a sound. But someone makes fun of a murder plot against poor, upstanding, morally and ethically perfect John Boehner, and the journalist gets fired and everyone else in the news media is supposed to kneel down and genuflect in front of the speaker.
Hey, guess what, Mr. Boehner? I say “FUCK YOU”, and I am not going to apologize, and since the policies of your party that you support always end up resulting in the hardship and deaths of innocent Americans, I could not care less if some deranged bartender wants to kill you. Actually, I am surprised it doesn’t happen more often, since I am sure Mr. Boehner has a plethora of bartenders he depends on.

The folks at Boston.com overreacted and caved to political pressure.

They should be deeply ashamed.

So much for the “free speech” Republicans are defending against the Muslims. Just don’t try it on any Republicans!

Sorry, but it isn’t. Freedom of Speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. If you write something that your bosses don’t like, they can fire you. He can’t be imprisoned for what he wrote. But he can be fired.

Selectivity seems to be the key word here…
Played out in boldface is the greater status afforded by some to the electrons comprising the text of a site’s story from the electron’s forming the text of the reader comments below that site posted story.
The Boston.com story mocking Boehner is no different from the thousands and thousands of comments about ‘Boner’, for example, and his coloration and drinking habits that have populated the web for eons…if anything the Boston.com feature writer should have been fired for a lack of originality.
Boston.com has shown itself to be a waste of time.

I think the guy deserved to be fired. He totally lacked any common sense.

From this story, and Boehner’s quick attempt to silence free speech, I can only infer that Boehner supported the terrorists in France, rather than Charlie Hebdo.

He is not Charlie.

I AM Charlie, however.

But the Speaker’s alcoholism will kill him. Nut-case bartenders won’t.

Maybe he was fed up with the newspaper sucking up to the Repubs! I’ve gotten fired before purposely, by doing something similar things, just to PO the almighty in the front office!
He probably won’t have any problem getting hired elsewhere!
“Sarcasm is best presented boldly and in full view of the one it’s intended too ridicule!”

Boener plays ignorant about a plethora of subjects but tease him about his alcoholism and he not only sits up and takes notice, he actually does something.

The recognition of speaker Boener’s drinking problems is a problem in and of itself. He is #3 in our Government and the prospect of a drunk being counted on to run not only our country but to guide the world is just about unthinkable.
Good damned thing that President Obama is in such great health and VP Biden is sane because Boener is not only a gutless teabag whipped pussy he is also a flaming drunk.

The country just 6 years ago had a drunk,who was President!

"The news site’s general manager, Corey Gottlieb, said in a statement that the references to Boehner “were off-color…”

Well, the Speaker himself is off-color.
