Firefighter fired

for installing Barack Obama toilet paper

in firehouse bathroom

12:04 AM 12/03/2012

A Florida firefighter is out of a job after putting toilet paper with President Barack Obama’s face in his fire department’s bathroom.

Clint Pierce, who admitted placing the Obama toilet paper in the restroom as a “gag,” had until 5:00 p.m. Friday to turn in his badge after the city of Pompano Beach, Fla. determined his joke was a disrespectful repeat offense, according to a report from the Sun Sentinel.

The Oct. 19 incident marked the third time Pierce brought political props onto city property, after he was told to stop.

“It was clearly a case of insubordination,” city spokeswoman Sandra King said Friday, according to the paper. “He had a similar situation of posting political messages on city property and he was given a free pass at that time and told to cease and desist and he did it again and really exacerbated the situation.”

Fire Chief Harry L. Small determined that Pierce’s actions showed “tasteless and disrespectful treatment” of President Obama and “caused significant divisiveness within the department and community.”

And according to activists who came to a City Commission meeting Tuesday, his actions were racist and offensive, the Sun Sentinel reported.

Small concluded in a Nov. 20 memo, however, that he “found no evidence to indicate that Pierce’s actions were racially motivated, but rather they were politically motivated.”

Toilet paper with former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s face, Secretary of State Hillarious Clinton’s face, and and others are readily available online.

Pierce, a firefighter since 1993, reportedly apologized, but to no avail.

“Your apology for your actions is appreciated, but does little to undo the widespread damage to the reputation of the city and the fire department organization,” Small responded.

My husband is a Lt in the fire department. There are many many things that are not allowed and political talk is one of them. By the nature of it these days it is very polarizing and the department needs the firefighters to be united and work together. Yes, they are all adults and should be able to put their feeling aside when they are working....but that would be in a perfect world and my husband tells many many stories of some small incident becoming a big issue.

SO I don't believe he was fired because it was just Obama toilet paper (it could have been Romney and it would have been the same result)...he was fired because he had 2 other warnings regarding political statements on city property and he disobeyed. And if it was any other issue it wouldn't be in the news. If he failed to show for his shift 3 times, he would have been dismissed but wouldn't have gotten this attention. These people work together 24 hours at a time. You do honestly need to keep your religion and your politics out of the firehouse. You can have a Romney sign or a Obama sign on your yard or even a sticker on your car but not into a place that serves the public.

Serving county office, I cannot even have a pin with my candidates name or logo on it while working.
