It's like the police officer who was fired for doing porn. The police department has the right to decide it's not in their best interests for someone who produces porn not to represent them, in the same way that a someone running for President doesn't want to admit he smoked pot when he was tweny.

Exactly, this guy knew what the code of ethics were for his job when he took the job and willfully broke those...as bullshit as they may be, he wasn't ignorant to the code of ethics.
While I would defend his right to burn the koran, the american flag, a book of poems, a copy of "Cool as Ice" DVD, doesn't matter...the right would be defended, but the rights of his employer should also be defended....freedom of speech isn't without it's hitches, but it's what makes them important and more importantly, if you really want to defend your freedom of speech, you better be prepared for the cost of that freedom.
