You're damned right it is.

That's part of what it means to live in a free country. Would you really prefer if we were not allowed to say bad things about our leaders?


Edit: I'll leave my comment up, but editing to point out that I am a dumbass for not realizing you were talking about it being OK to criticize the president within the context of employer/employee.

Tell that to Mike Ditka who dared to speak ill of the Obama Messiah.

She is allowed to voice her opinion. She and those opinions are not protected.

The hypocrisy and double standards illustrated by ESPN's treatment of Curt Schilling and Mike Ditka are the problem, not the fact that Hill is trashing the president. ESPN deserves all the criticism and backlash it's going to get because of it.

No one is calling for her arrest. She has every right to go on a childish twitter rant.

But had a white sports anchor called Obama a race baiting moron when he was president, we know exactly how ESPN would have reacted.
