It's not the same Martin
Slim-Fast drops Goldberg over Bush puns
By Martin Kasindorf, USA TODAY
Slim-fact's parting ways with Goldberg over political outspokenness is reminiscent of the Florida Citrus Commission's firing of singer Anita Bryant as a celebrity hawker of orange juice in 1977. Bryant had led opposition to a Miami-Dade County ordinance banning discrimination against gays.
Criticizing an incumbent politician during an American election fundraiser is not the same as publicly and persistently campaigning to remove the civil rights of an entire demographic of citizens and support discrimination against that demographic. What a terrible and confused comparison.
