Get this, De Genova: if you want to take an unpopular stance, be courageous about it. Expect consequences. One is that your employer will suffer as a result of public opinion. This is normal and natural. The same rules apply to Dixie Chicks and idiot actors.
I will defend to the death your right to say anything, no matter how idiotic. But do not expect a pass, especially as regards commercial/business consequences.
You are a jackass, De Genova. But that is your right in America, and thousands of our finest young people are putting their lives on the line to let you continue to be a jackass.
Amen to that.
