This is a recurrent Freeper fantasy. Someone posted something last night from one who claimed he had hired ‘a liberal’ solely so he could fire him in revenge if Obama won.

It’s not impossible that someone, somewhere, has done something like this, but I think that overwhelmingly it’s a fantasy of people who do not have employees, do not have hiring and firing rights, and didn’t actually do anything like this. It’s symbolic, representing their notion that ‘their side’ are the employers, the producers, the makers, and that they can deal harshly with the parasites of the world, here cast as the liberals, if things do not go their way.

I suspect some of them don’t even have jobs, let alone companies where they call the shots. Notice, if you read the comments, that many of the Freepers don’t even believe this happened.
