Starling: Firstly, “Islamists” are are not analogous to “businesses” or “employers.” Secondly, the two properties that they exhibit are not analogous. Specifically, attempting to stifle Geller’s free speech rights is not analogous to an employer firing a homosexual.
That’s precisely why I put “Islamists” in scare quotes. Paypay is indeed analogous to a business or employer. It was another Belmonter who equated Paypal to an Islamist, or at least an Islamist dupe. And free speech and free association rights as set forth in the constitution refer to limitations on the government, not private entities. At least, that’s what we are told by Righties when the Boy Scouts are allowed to fire gay scout masters. But let Paypal send a Terms of Service notice to Pam Geller, a Jew, indicating that she might be in violation of the memorandum of agreement she clicked when she signed up for their service, and suddenly they are anti-Semitic “Islamists” just like Barack Obama.
