PLAYGIRL editor-in-chief Michele Zipp has been stripped of her duties after she revealed how she voted Republican in the 2004 election.
Zipp, in an e-mail, claims she was fired after an onslaught of liberal backlash.
"Hello Drudge,
"After your coverage of my article about coming out and voting Republican, I did receive many letters of support from fellow Republican voters, but it was not without repercussions. Criticism from the liberal left ensued. A few days after the onslaught of liberal backlash, I was released from my duties at Playgirl magazine.
"After underlings expressed their disinterest of working for an outed Republican editor, I have a strong suspicion that my position was no longer valued by Playgirl executives. I also received a phone call from a leading official from Playgirl magazine, in which he stated with a laugh, "I wouldn't have hired you if I knew you were a Republican.
"I just wanted to let you know of the fear the liberal left has about a woman with power possessing Republican views."

and Eisner was let go because he was a Democrat working for Disney.
I don't get it either.learn2kneel said:its unbelievable that a person can get fire for their political views nowadays. think of the media outrage their would be if she was fired for race, religion, sexual preference, etc. but being fired for being a republican is perfectly fine. Aren't liberals supposed to be all about equal rights and such... and i thought they supported women in positions of power (feminist movement). this is very hypocritical of the whole party in general.
