That's the implication from the experts on the American way.
Frank Ricci, the firefighter who sued the New Haven fire department for discrimination and will be testifying at the Sotomayor hearings, is being personally attacked by People for the American Way.
From Power Line:
But what of Ricci’s “troubled” history of litigating employment claims. It consists of a suit claiming disability discrimination when one fire department decided not to hire him (Ricci is dyslexic); an administrative complaint claiming that his discharge by that same fire department was in retaliation for accusing the department of safety violations; and the reverse discrimination suit against the New Haven fire department that Sotomayor mishandled.
Isn’t it odd that an outfit calling itself People for the American Way would this history “troubling”? One might have thought that such an organization would applaud challenges to disability discrimination, race discrimination, retaliation, and safety violations. [emphasis added]
Exactly. The same goes for liberal bloggers who choose to go after Ricci. This has nothing to do with principle and everything to do with personally smearing the little people who get in the way of noble liberal causes.
If only Mr. Ricci had known, back when he filed suit, that it might eventually be wrongly decided by a judge more interested in promoting certain groups of people than in justice, and who later might be nominated for the Supreme Court by a president with a similar agenda. Even then, he might not have foreseen that the patriots from PAW would go after him personally for seeking justice. Now his 'troubled history' is out there for all the world to see. I hope he's ashamed of himself.
