And yet political speech is supposedly considered THE most important and most protected form of speech. Yup, makes sense to me......./s

Political speech is protected from political retaliation. The First Amendment applies only as a limit on the government, not private entities. Private entities can limit your speech on their property if they want. At the same time, they are not immune from other private individuals or entities taking them to task for it. But it's not illegal.

No, they cannot, at least not political speech...the "sit-ins" at restaurants across the South decided that issue back in the 1960's. That was political "speech" on private property.
