Trooper Suspended
Iowa Trooper Suspended For Obama E-Mail
An Iowa State trooper who was investigated after it was shown that he forwarded an e-mail showing mug shots of people wearing Obama t-shirts has been suspended for 30 days.
You mean THIS picture? So, what’s the problem?
Sgt. Rodney Hicok was at home and off-duty when he forwarded the e-mails, said an official with the Iowa Department of Public Safety Bureau and Professional Standards.
Unless he was at work, using a taxpayer funded computer, I don’t see what business it is of ANYONE what he forwarded.
The e-mail made disparaging remarks about 15 people in the photos and referred to Obama as having “quite a fan base.”
Stating to obvious of what was apparent in the picture is not disparaging. It’s a visual fact, where these certain folks are concerned.
In a statement, Hicok said, “I am deeply sorry for my actions … I apologize to anyone this e-mail may have offended, as well as my family, citizens in my community and Iowa taxpayers.”
Hicok ended his statement by saying he guaranteed “nothing like this will ever happen again.”
“I regret what happened and wish I could take it back,” Hicok said in the statement.
What the heck does he have to apologize for, and to whom? I can only assume he was sending the email to friends and family, so how did anyone else find out about it? I suppose that no one has a right to express an opinion anymore, especially comes to The ONE, and his supporters.
One thought comes to mind….how many people lost their jobs, or were suspended, for forwarding a “disparaging” email about Bush, or his supporters?
PCness, and those that acquiesce to it, are falling victim to the very thing that is destroying this nation…
When Bush was POTUS, the LEFT got by with calling him the most horrendous names imaginable. The RIGHT makes even a veiled reference to that purple lipped socialist son of a bitch and the entire herd of libber moonbats goes ballistic…
Where is that bipartisanship thing again??
I’ve no doubt, you and I will be on the ‘hit list’ in the not too distant future, along with anyone else who isn’t sucking up B. Hussein’s BS.
So I’m assuming The Smoking Gun couldn’t put together a similar poster of McCain arrestees or they would have. THAT says something.
I don’t think the trooper should have gotten 30 days suspension. At some point we’ve got to maintain privacy and free speech. Kinda scary he’s been stripped of his.
Well, if they ever did come up with such a compilation, I sure am unaware of it.
It’s going to be more and more common as our rights are stripped away by those on the left, and yes, that includes the administration of THE ONE! Asshats!
…they said if people voted for that old guy and that snowbilly, people would lose their jobs for their political opinions. Huh.
Seriously, I think someone’s been dumping meth in the water around Iowa. The state senate is considering a law that gives their Electoral College votes to “the national winner” instead of whomever wins Iowa. Morons.
Holy crap! Are you serious????? I’d say morons is WAY to polite a word!
They love them some Al Gore. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20090211/NEWS/90211024
OMG! Are they living in the REAL world? Are the people in that state even paying attention to what their ‘representatives’ are up to?
