I hope he sues
This man should sue the last penny out of this useless company he worked for. Since when can you be fired for what you said at a political rally?

Man who heckled Bush at Hedgesville rally fired from job

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. (AP) -- A man who heckled President Bush during a campaign stop in Berkeley County this week has been fired from his job.

Glen Hiller, of Berkeley Springs, was escorted from the Hedgesville High School event on Tuesday after shouting comments about the Iraq war and the failure to find weapons of mass destruction there.

The crowd had easily drowned out Hiller with cheers of "Four More Years, Four More Years.''

Arriving at his job with Octavo Designs in Frederick, Md., on Wednesday morning, Hiller said he was told that he had embarrassed and offended a client who had provided the tickets to the rally.
