MOre nonsense. Discrimination against minorities is different from opposing traitors, liars, kidnappers, etc.
Grow up. If you can’t take responsibility for your or your party’s crimes or offenses against society, too bad.

My party?
I have been a Liberal for longer than you have been alive and I was opposing Fascists while you were still trying to figure out which side of the crib smelled worse.
Get over yourself. This knee-jerk reaction to anyone who disagrees with your myopic viewpoint tells me a lot about you.
It’s unfortunate that you continue to make false statements and utter insults in defense of your closedmindedness.
And you have no idea how old I am. Why do you accuse me of a ‘knee-jerk’ reaction when that’s all you offer here?
Let the GOP eat takeout.

Well that’s not fair. What are they to do…check voter registration? Come on. I’m sure there’s a few GOP’ers with TPM Prime memberships too.
Who wants to listen to lectures on civility from a Trumphole?

I’ve lived in SF for about a million years so I’ve watched him in various offices, mayor of Oakland, AG, etc., and I see now he’s fully informed and as human as he is by his Jesuit background. He’s ready for retirement now, he’s earned it. The state of the state is damned good, and if as predicted it’ll be passed off to Newsom, I think it will continue on that path.

The restaurant is located in a county which went for trumpp so the owner and the staff must know that they serve trumpp supporters regularly and have never turned them away. If they had we’d have heard about it by now.

They’d boycott the restaurant but they can’t seem to figure out what state it’s in.

Morans on autopilot calling up the wrong restaurant and harassing whoever answers. I’d never imagined there could be such a thing.

Her supporters haven’t nearly as many problems with her as her non supporters. Funny how that works. But a shout out of sorts on how you segued so seamlessly from sensible to nonsensical.

Well, actually, we know that the restaurant regularly seats Republicans because (1) statistically, that’s the demographic nature of the population it serves; and (2) many of the people who come in are known by the owner to be Republicans. The point was that people aren’t denied service in that restaurant simply because of their party affiliation.

Although Mr. Haass is usually right and right on top, in this case he completely, utterly, and entirely missed the point. (Redundancies intentional.)
Both the spirit and the language of the Civil Rights Acts were to address discrimination based largely on membership in a particular class or category of people, regardless of the comportment of a particular individual within the class. As Dr. King said, "“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
With respect to the situation of Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kirsten Neilsen, Stephen Miller, and that xenophobic New York lawyer, they were judged not by the color of their skin, or their religion, or even their politics per se. They were judged as INDIVIDUALS based on the content of their INDIVIDUAL characters and deemed unfit to belong in the presence of decent human beings.
I don’t know, but I imagine,that Sarah Huckabee Sanders was not the first Republican to dine at the Red Hen or probably not even the first trump supporter to do so. But what she is is an active advocate, literally the spokeswoman, for a psychopath who has made it clear that he utterly rejects the foundational American principle that all men are created equal and who has utter contempt for the very idea of rule of law and liberty and justice for all. THAT’s why she was expelled, and that is very very different from what the Civil Rights laws aimed at.

Right. It’s noticeable that some people make a habit of it.
You are so hung up on “protected status” that you can’t see the forest for the trees.
Richard Haass is partly to blame for that, but only partly, I’d say.
And we fought for the right of Americans to be served, whether it was restaurants or hotels and not to be denied on the basis of religion, national origin, a whole list of things.
Let them eat (wedding) cake.
