    thats pretty messed up. She obviously wasn't a liberal, since they are the only ones with free speech.

    There is NO SUCH THING AS FREE SPEECH when you work for ANY ORGANIZATION.

    Well I know she didn't work for the PR department at faux news. They would have promoted her.

    She does have a point though. AIDS was created by the CIA to slowly kill off the black race. I mean have you ever seen a white AIDS patient in Africa? The reason is because they are given an AIDS vaccine at birth.

    RE Blonde Chick: What a dumb ass. Likely only a matter of time before she did something else to get her fired.

    How do you get to be a PR executive and not realize how that comment is going to go over with the public? I'm not nearly as amazed at the offensiveness of the comment as I am at her incompetence. Definitely deserved to be fired on the spot.

    This is the EXACT same thing as the "Duck Dynasty" mess. He can say all he wants.....but on TV...he works for A&E.

    Sometimes when a person gets in trouble for an inappropriate tweet or comment, it's at least funny or witty.

    But I honestly have no idea what the purpose of that tweet was. It's not funny, it's not witty, it's not timely. What did she want to get out of that?

    It was a bad joke pointing out blacks are disproportionately afflicted with AIDS in Africa.

    But the mob has spoken and they have their scalp. Her life is ruined.

    Be careful what you tweet, some random journalist might decide to single you out for career destruction.

    She chose to make a declaration to the public. It's not like someone hacked her email.

    note that she's a PR professional and she posted this
