I would fire him ... just as I would a pharmacists that refused to fill a prescription for something s/he disagreed with ... refusal to do ones job is a fireable offense.

Swope may feel so strongly that he feels it was worth it ... if so, I admire his commitment to his conviction ... I would still fire an employee that refused to assist (do their job) for someone they did not like (or that was a member of a group they did not like)
