pdq I don't see how any of that affects anything that has been said on this thread except maybe someone, saying "What's to stop him from discriminating for other reasons?" But since he is claiming not to be discriminating now what is to stop him from putting, are a woman, black or homosexual where he says "voted for Obama" and saying exactly the same thing?
Note that his sign said this.
The sign reads: "If you voted for Obama … seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years."
He is certainly turning away all honest people who voted for Obama. Staying in the office for treatment is a defacto way of telling him you DID NOT vote for Obama.
So the statement below is a lie. On the face of it.
"I'm not turning anybody away — that would be unethical," Dr. Jack Cassell,
He is turning people away. One of the people he turned away took a picture of his sign. He is unethical. His only defense is to pretend to be ignorant of the implications of his own sign. Obviously he is unethical. So obviously he is a liar.
Is this a technically a serious enough breach of ethics for him to be punished? I hope so.
