The difference is this: this is a POLITICAL site.
These people are being targeted for their political beliefs in a field in which their skills at their craft should decide their employability.
It is not unlike the disaster we see in education at the moment. Instead of teachers & professors being selected because of their talent for imparting knowledge to students, they are retained or promoted based on their political views.
Good example:
The Oscar nominations just came out. Oddly omitted were two films from the Documentary category: Waiting for Superman, and The Cartel. Both of these were widely acclaimed documentaries that slammed the teacher’s unions, and the whole liberal education establishment. They weren’t left off because they were no good; they were left off because they didn’t fit Hollywood’s political meme.
Never mind the fact that not one child of an Oscar voter has ever set foot in a public school, controlled by these liberal educators they so hope to protect.
I understand the point you are making. Mine is that all human beings are capable of doing exactly the same thing the Hollywood Left is doing in their industry. As already stated, the Left does not have a corner on the intolerance market. The Right should guard against its own impulses to do the same thing.
