So you are willing to defend this Tampa man's right to free speech at the workplace? Great, I understand that but how to you feel about the woman in Nashville that was fired for sending Anti-War E-mail on her work computer?

Apples and oranges....this is the man's PERSONAL truck.

Wasn't necessarily her work PC. The article states that "Saviano got the letter at her personal e-mail address," which can be accessed from home or work.

The article says that she was fired because "Saviano put her company name on her e-mail," making her e-mail seem corporately sanctioned.

The woman was using theCOMPANY'S COMPUTER while the Tampa man had a Conederate flag on his PERSONAL truck.

Two different things:

He owns his truck.

She did not own the computer.

She was paid by the company to do a job; not send anti war memos.

Now if she was at her home and on her own computer....

I believe that this is over your head,but, when a company or organization pays someone to do a job-- they expect that someone to do what they are paid to do.
She s not being paid to send anti-war messages.

It's HIS truck.

Very different situation, the license plate is on his privatly owner truck, which is driven to and from work, the anti war emails were generated on goverment time and property.

Now if he put the rebel flag plate on a city truck he used at work... you'd have a point.
