In another spasm of internet self destruction, an attorney who thought it would be cool if Betsy Devos was assaulted was forced to resign.
He's a member of the tolerant set-and I'm always surprised when someone of that lifestyle is forced to account for their actions. Because the internet never forgets and his comments were so obnoxious and so outrageous-the law firm had no choice. They let him go. Even tolerance and thinking the right way on social issues has it's limits.
Texas is a big state. Sure, it seems like most people who live there lean slightly to the right but Austin (where I think this guy worked) is a hotbed and a Mecca for Texas liberals. I can't blame them-it must be tough to be a liberal in such a conservative state. It's also tough for conservatives in places like Massachusetts and California, but no one cares about them.
This guy obviously didn't remember that the internet never forgets. Him, along with Coleman Bonner (that guy who cheered on the Gatlinburg fires because Tennessee is a red state) will go down in history as people whose cruelty was exposed and will never be forgotten. No one is more hateful than someone who claims to be tolerant and accepting.
