This is pretty silly. "Michael Moore has strong opinions" is a stupendously tepid comment on him. The political climate is not so charged that the simple phrase Michael Moore is a spark -- or more accurately, a reason to fire someone. Firing someone for their political views is never a right, and calling someone else's beliefs misguided and ignorant isn't particularly useful, even if we
are just talking about celebrities. However, companies are free to fire spokespersons at any time, because they can always say the spokesperson isn't representing the image they want.
