ITS OK TO BE CONSERVATIVE AS LONG AS YOU DON'T TALK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT

by Bob Walsh

Stacy Washington is a columnist at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. She has been suspended, and then terminated, from her gig at the paper and their linked web site because of a column she wrote on April 28 defending the NRA when they were compared generally with ISIS.

The paper said flat-out that her promotional activities and professional association with the NRA was an "unacceptable conflict." The paper asserts that she is an officer of the NRA (which she isn't) and has done media work for the NRA (which she hasn't).
