Refusing service because of political party.

[Amarok]

I have to say that I'm lovin' all of this, watching  fanatical Dems and assorted leftists becoming unhinged in public. Maxine Waters calls on radicals to harrass Trump cabinet members in public, Peter Fonda tweets that Trump's 12 year old son should be ripped from his mother's arms and put in a cage with a pedophile, Bill Maher hopes that the suffering of a recession hits the U.S. so voters will turn against President Trump, DHS Secretary accosted by a group of leftist radicals in a restaurant, ....I think the Dems and the far Left just handed the GOP a midterm victory.

Funniest part of Aholes comment is his lack of self awareness

So much for the power of the dark side

Apparently some see this as a perfectly reasonable action. I don't, not when you're out trying to live your own life.

What do the rest of you think and where would you draw the line?

If one could be refused service for gay wedding, why can’t one be refused service for true moral degeneracy?

I agree.  Priests should be refused service.

Then of course there is the problem that:

Trump supporters are bombarding the wrong Red Hen restaurant with threats and abuse

A New Jersey restaurant named The Red Hen is being bombarded with threats and abuse by Trump supporters who are confusing it with the Virginia restaurant of the same name that refused to serve White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Brains never was their best subject.

I find it encouraging that these women were judged not by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character.

im finding it somewhat discouraging, that some people’s poor tactics of attacking the person rather than the idea in discussion; is escalating to be physical.

I just hope the right takes the higher ground and does retaliate in kind. This could get ugly.

I don't think you're seeing the double edge to this sword.

Do you understand how easy it will become to discriminate (or hide real motives for discrimination) based on political affiliations?

Um no, there is no "double edge sword". There is only one choice when politicians resort to carpet bombing vilification. 

There is no other option at this point in history but to condemn in the strongest language the vile and dangerous rhetoric 45 is employing.

I haven't really thought about it, but I'm generally of the opinion that public figures have a right to a private life like everyone else, regardless of how difficult that may be to achieve in practice.

Yes they have a right to a private life, but not the same private life like everyone else. If I go to a public place, I get to remain essentially invisible. No one notices me nor should they. If you choose to put yourself in the position of being a celebrity, you should expect to no longer have the privilege of being invisible in public. If that's going to bother you, choose to work behind the camera instead of in front of it.

Lets keep in mind something else here. According to the article, "the owner took her aside and requested that she leave. The owner said she thinks that Sanders works for and defends an “inhumane and unethical” administration." Everyone is getting hung up on this being about who someone chooses to vote for. But its actually about who someone chooses to work for. The only reason this is political is because the person in question works for a politician. But its not really discrimination based on political choice because its not about who she chooses to vote for.

No one would bat an eyelash if the owner of a vegan restaurant asked someone to leave after finding out that the person in question owned or worked at a beef slaughter house.
