Bumper Sticker Gets Woman Fired

From The Progressive:

Linda Laroca has a bumpersticker on her car that says, “1360 Air America Progressive Talk Radio.”

That allegedly got her into trouble with her boss at Advantage Sales and Marketing, according to an article in North County Times by Teri Figuero.

Laroca appeared on the Ed Schultz radio show on March 10 and gave this account.

She and her boss were speaking in a parking lot when her boss noticed the bumpersticker.

“Isn’t that the Al Franken leftwing talkshow?”

Laroca says she thought maybe this was a trick question so she hesitated and then said yes.

“Don’t you know our country is on high alert?” her boss responded, according to Laroca. “For all I know you could be Al Qaeda. You’re fired.”

Schultz asked Laroca what she did next.

“I picked up my jaw and drove home,” Laroca said.

Laroca is suing Advantage Sales and Marketing and the woman who allegedly fired her.

"Tailgunner Joe" would be so proud.
