Proud-to-be-an-American Dean Grose quitting...

[carbinier]

...over racist email:

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. - The mayor of a California city says he will resign after being criticized for sharing an e-mail picture depicting the White House lawn planted with watermelons under the title "No Easter egg hunt this year."

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29423045/

I suppose this was some sort of assault on his free speech rights?

Oh, as to the 'proud to be an American'...?

http://www.grose-for-losalamitos.com/

Classic!!! But by no means let this incident occur to you everytime you hear this song! :))

[noose4]

there are 2 good reasons for him to quit, the racist email and his stupidity, because anybody in a political position that would think nothing of forwarding such an email is definitely not too bright.

[Mortis]

Honest;y, can anyone really be THAT stupid?

Oh, wait, I guess they can.

Dummy.

If I were him I'd start practicing 'Do you want fries with that?'

[carbinier]

Dang, now I got the song in my head!

He resigned. He could have stayed. Read what the first Amendment says,
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress (http://www.usconstitution.net/glossary.html#REDRESS) of grievances.

awe don't get upset.....I am sure he did it becasue he really wanted to.........my rant is people like you if you had the power would have fired him....read your hatred on your first post......i don't agreew what he did but he has a right to send whatever email he would like to

[Talk2Bill]

oh and it is NOT a free speech issue. he used his free speech to 'say' something racist. and some used theirs to protest. and he did the right thing.

it is weird: someone says something and when people complain they are branded by some as being against free speech? oh well that is the nature of freedom!

[Talk2Bill]

the minute anybody in the US applied pressure on him for his actions.........

and those people have the same freedom of speech to make such a protest. as do you to whine about it... it gets a bit weird...but no person's rights were violated.

Put some pressure on and maybe he will. Or you could just post on this message board and hope.

you are correct but do you honestly believe he resigend because he wanted to or was pressured to for his actions? this is where I believe his 1st amendment was violated

ok it seems you do not really understand the first amendment.

maybe read it...not it is saying the government can not limit a persons free speech. so a person can not violate another person's 1st amendment rights.

[noose4]

And assuming that because it was gleefully posted by Carb I would bet you are right.

oh I have an you are basically stating you are not protected under it though and someone can fire you because of what you say or send that they may not agree with.......

Just takign it a little deeper that is it.

You can't do that **** on the taxpayer dime. Period.

OMG you are out there?????

Holder and Obama did...

Ok you all win you can have this thread....I will see you on other threads have fun

[cyph3r7]

i don't agreew what he did but he has a right to send whatever email he would like to

People trip up on this pesky Constitution thing all the time. It says you have a right to free speech, not a right to consequence free, free speech.

See the difference?

Probably not

[noose4]

[Talk2Bill]

It makes zero difference. If we assume he has the right to send that photo that means he can not be criminally charged with that act.

The response to his act falls in to free speech. He could have refused to leave and maybe nothing could have been done--Well not until election day. By the tone of your posts: it would be wrong for a voter to use that email as a factor in how they chose to vote.

Now he may not have had the right to send it: if it was sent form a government computer or with his government email then it could be a violation of laws regarding racial discrimination--which is NOT a form of protected speech.

Anyway freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. His only apparent consequence was some negative public statements of opinion.

Oh and FYI: If you worked for me and you sent that photo and I found out: I would fire you on the spot and that would be 100% legal.

[cyph3r7]

Yep you were right

http://wonkette.com/406562/406562

also his website really sucked. People need to work on their web presence. He could hired his grandkid or something....

[animalnut]

If he didn't resign he should be fired. Maybe they "allowed" him to resign. What a classless act. Ah, our elected officials, from both sides. Some of them end up in local politics or Washington because they wouldn't cut it in the real world.

[Talk2Bill]

at first i though he was a democrat as i never heard his party mentioned in the news stories.

[JenyEliza]

If your employee sent it from their personal computer, on their personal e-mail account, on their own time, on their own dime, you would be on shaky ground.

Under those circumstances, I don't think your firing would stand up in court. But I could be wrong.

[snagswolf]

i live in an 'At Will' state... so legally i would need no reason to fire anyone.

[less right]

I had to look through several articles before I saw any reference to his political party. I saw none on what might be considered MSM sites. So much for the "if it was a Republican they'd sure let you know it" argument. (I'm not saying it never happens, it just doesn't ALWAYS happen).

The mayor was quoted as saying:
“There is no way that I meant anything racist in my email. I was merely criticizing Obama’s fiscal plan, which is so horrendous that it’s almost as if it were written by watermelons.”

Yeah, I'm buying that watermelon patch. How could it be taken any other way?

In his defense, we don't have the complete email to see if in fact there were any references in it to the 'budget plan'. If not, take your lumps Mr. Grose. If so, make a case and don't resign.

[carbinier]

carb wouldn't have posted it if it was, nor would he have found it at Huff-n-Puff like he did to have cross posted it here.

So I'm hypocritical for only posting a story about a Republican?

What would that make you, for only criticizing liberals who only post stories about Republicans?

lol too easy...

One of the problems, from what I understand, the Mayor is chosen by five city council members and the position is mostly ceremonial.

However what he did is stupid and inexcusable for a person in a public office.

[carbinier]

Probably not

He quit. He wasn't fired. See the difference? Obviously not.

lol, I guess if it's wrong that he should quit maybe the conservatives at CPAC will issue a strongly worded statement of support for him and call for him to withdraw his resignation.

After all, conservatives always do the right thing, right?

Didn't say anything about being a hypocrit. Simply pointing out that you had no idea who this fella even was until it showed up on some looney liberal blog and because he is a Republican you get all excited and wanna sing "Proud to be an American" because he did something stupid like all of us have at some point in our lives.

So no, not point out you being a hypocrit. Simply pointing out how vapid and void of any intellectual honesty many of your threads are.

lol too easy...

I didn't realize we were talking about the knickname given to you in High School. Those emotions still hurt don't they? Is that why you act out like you do?

Bottom line is Republicans applaud when their law breakers or idiots resign and democratics just re-elect their lawbreakers and idiots...

Thank you for the clarification.


i live in an 'At Will' state... so legally i would need no reason to fire anyone.

That doesn't mean that an employee fired by you for sending that picture out on their personal computer couldn't (and wouldn't) file suit against you and cost many $$ in legal fees for your trouble.

They could and they would. At-will state or not, doesn't mean you won't find yourself in front of a judge explaining yourself to him/her. Just like a prosectuor can indict a ham sandwich, an attorney and a client can also sue a ham sandwich. All it takes is an attorney willing to work on a contingency basis, the price of the filing fee, a process server and a small amount of paperwork.

I imagine in these tough economic times, the courts are full of people looking for a big payday in court. Don't think it can't (or won't) happen to you.

Tread very carefully in your hiring and firing decisions.
