I'm not sure I see that bias. Did he ever indicate that he thought certain people were unfit for a job because of their gender, religion, etc.?

- Thrymr 13y agoHe made this public comment on a BI job posting thread [1]: "@Liberal Insider: Haha, you'd feel pretty silly for writing that comment if you ever saw my twitter feed and read all the horrible things I say about Obama. :)" [1]: http://www.businessinsider.com/hiring-mobile-apps-developer-2012-9?pundits_only=0&get_all_comments=1&no_reply_filter=1#comment-5065d81a69beddb35c000009 http://www.businessinsider.com/hiring-mobile-apps-developer-...
- jcromartie 13y agoI don't get it. "Liberal Insider" said that you need to be a "bleeding heart liberal" who would support Barack Obama to work at BI. Pax refuted this referring to his history of statements against Obama. I doubt it very much that he was implying you needed to be liberal OR conservative to work at BI.
- Thrymr 13y agoYou can read it that way, sure. But why would anyone with hiring authority ever make a comment like that on a public forum about his own job posting?
