Well, of course, it had to happen. It was not that long coming either. The Democrat party in the state of Kentucky does not cotton much to having Republicans in charge. Now, in addition to lawsuits and other such Liberal antics, they are striving to shut down the freedom of speech of a fine American who has a political opinion that happens to be Conservative.
Since when in this country is it illegal to express your political opinions on your own time? Because an accomplished attorney (previously an accomplished blogger as well) happens to have opinions that differ from Liberals, he is to be fired? Someone remind me again, please, what country is this?? Yes, he was appointed to filter job applications to ensure that the merit process was being followed to the letter. He is, after all, an attorney. Is he supposed to be denied that job because of his political ideology?
Not that he needs testimonials, but I can attest to the fact that Dodd Harris is tolerant, open-minded, and objective. As a matter of fact, he's had to encourage me to hold my tongue in check at least once. If the Dems are saying that one must be politically apathetic to do a conscientious job in a government position, then they are truly holding to their penchant for oxymoronic thinking.
10/18/05 UPDATE:
According to an article in the newspaper here in Louisville, the attack on Harris's freedom of speech and on the Republican party in general was successful. It took one little article in one little newspaper to make the Fletcher administration back off of their original idea. The power of the press is indeed still fully intact in the state of Kentucky. I'm embarrassed to be a Republican these days -- has our party NO SPINE?!

To paraphrase Cliff May:
"There are libral activists, conservative activists, and conservatives committed to objectivity. Are there any liberals out there preaching obvectivity?"
I'd trust Dodd over the Lexington Herald-Leader any day of the week!
