Right me if I am wrong, but it sounds like the man himself turned down the accolade. If I am right, in my opinion, that is different compared to the honor being ripped away from him instead due to people not liking where ever he chooses to stand on things that matter enough. Whatever he did to get such recognition I guess was never done for the glitter and shine in the first place. My most favorite female singer, Alison Krauss that is, has more Grammy awards than any other female in music history, but of course, she doesn't do what she is known for to get awards which I believe is the reason why the awards are given to her. To me, it isn't just about her voice and fiddle playing. Her frame of mind is what completes her beautiful picture.

God bless you and Alison and that man always!!!

Tolerance of the intolerant can lead to major abuse by those who willingly take advantage of those who would let them so GFY.

Incomprehensible post. What does GFY mean?

Seriously?

Said what best? If you mean to contribute to a discussion forum, I wish you'd put some understandable content in your posts.

If one doesn't believe in the same as many murderous Islamic ass kissing plebes and marxist, or communist one is considered hateful, if one doesn't agree with Jewish billionaires agendas one is called an antisemite, if one knows and understands that there are people that are racist in all forms, colors shapes and sizes one is called a bigot and a racist, if one disagrees with giving illegals a free pass one is a bigot and a racist, if one doesn't embrace or won't weirdos and vile people around their children one is supposedly a homophobe, hater, etc. if one is rocking the boat of mobsters and thugs one can be labelled and slandered with anything that the thugs think may stick or put doubt in another person's mind about the credibility of the person unwilling to stand with abortionist, deviants or murderous zealots.

This guy posted, a meme depicting U.S. House Majority Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a Nazi uniform... an image that depicts a donkey with a swastika, an obvious jab at Democrats. And the world is coming to an end because it is so hate filled. What utter nonsense.

You wrote all of the above only to draw the wrong conclusion? The comments "pro-eugenics" and "America needs to shut down all Mosques and ban Islam" is where some of the hatred and bigotry comes in. Eugenics is what Hitler was doing when he was attempting to create a pure white Aryan race by committing genocide against the Jewish and non-Aryan.

The art isn't the problem (in this case), it's the sentiment behind it.

I didn't see pro-eugenics but as far as banning Islam I have no issue with that. They were banned once before from the country as they were bashing in the heads of small children in back alley ways.

"Like all of us, Mr. Harrison is entitled to his political opinions and we take no issue with him on that account. Political agreement is not a requirement for public office or public acclaim. This demonstration of hatred and bigotry, however, should be an immediate disqualifier," the letter said. "Silence and inaction in the face of such behavior is complicity."​

This will make him a hero in conservative circles. If he ever commits any hate or war crimes, he'll be even more of a hero.

He spoke his mind about Islam and Democrats. So yeah he is

Really low bar

Per the child bashing it is in old archived local news paper at the historical museum. Rod came across the article while he was working down there one year. They didn't post it online apparently too controversial. The law is online' Inadmissible aliens, 8 U.S.C. § 1182

I find it very interesting how many people look good on the surface until you begin delving into their social media footprint. I also find it interesting that while he does not apologize for his opinions, he apologizes to those who may have found his opinions offensive:

Jan. 4, 2020, 11:43 AM PST
By Phil McCausland

A man in California who was to be honored as his town's "Citizen of the Year" declined the award after Facebook posts of his surfaced calling for a ban on Islam and portraying a Democratic leader as a Nazi.

Jim Harrison, a former firefighter and truck driver, also resigned his position as a planning commissioner for San Luis Obispo County on Friday, according to local NBC News affiliate KSBY.

His resignation and declining of the citizenship award in Nipomo, a town about 160 miles north of Los Angeles, came after the surfacing of his posts with inflammatory memes, such as one with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a framed photo wearing a Nazi uniform.

The board of the local Chamber of Commerce that was to bestow the award voted unanimously to accept his turning it down, KSBY reported.

"There will be no Citizen of the Year award for Nipomo for 2019,” the chamber said in a written statement to the San Luis Obispo Tribune.

San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Lynn Compton, who told KSBY that the county has begun looking for a new planning commissioner, did not immediately respond to NBC News' request for comment.

Harrison could not be reached for comment.

His posts included a series of memes on Facebook that targeted Democrats and Muslims specifically. One image from Dec. 11 depicted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a framed photo wearing a Nazi uniform. A placard below the frame reads, "Minister of Propaganda."

A Dec. 19 post titled "The new logo for the Democratic Party" shows an illustration of a donkey, often associated with Democrats, emblazoned with a swastika. Below the donkey are the words "socialism," "anti-America," "anti-Jews/Israel," "anti-2nd Amendment" and "pro-eugenics."

A meme from Nov. 21 states that "America needs to shut down all Mosques and ban Islam. Bet you won't repost this." Other posts on Harrison's Facebook that were reviewed by NBC News showed additional memes that targeted Muslims and mosques.

Harrison has since removed the posts and his Facebook account but not before sharing a statement cited by the San Luis Obispo Tribune in an editorial.

“There was a post on my Facebook that offended some people,” Harrison wrote, according to the newspaper. “I apologize if it was offensive to you. The post was deleted when this came to my attention.”

The posts were discovered shortly after the Chamber of Commerce announced that Harrison would be honored, citing his community service work for the local Rotary Club, his enthusiasm for horses and preserving riding trails, and his organization of the "Nipomo Community Thanksgiving, Fourth of July parade, and Thompson Road cleanup."

Local community groups — R.A.C.E. Matters, GALA, Diversity Coalition of SLO County, Bend the Arc, JCC Federation and People of Faith for Justice — said in an open letter to the chamber that Harrison's inflammatory speech overshadowed his community work and that his award should be rescinded.​

Anyone disagree with the conclusion?

"Like all of us, Mr. Harrison is entitled to his political opinions and we take no issue with him on that account. Political agreement is not a requirement for public office or public acclaim. This demonstration of hatred and bigotry, however, should be an immediate disqualifier," the letter said. "Silence and inaction in the face of such behavior is complicity."​

For that hes been canceled?

Vile behavior and remarks have become normalized by the right. Most Trump supporters are so used to seeing and using memes like that guy posted till they think they are nothing more than common remarks. Unfortunately, in Trump's circles, they are just common remarks

No, I'm the one complaining, and I'm a Trump supporter. It seems to me it's the leftists here who have the vile language.

Really? I have been accused of hating America all the way back to when I disagreed with Bush Jr about his lies to get us into a war.. It was a common accusation without even a sliver of evidence back then that has only gotten worse since then.

Yes, well, you were right about that, in my opinion, and I agreed it was all lies at the time. I didn't mind the concept of messing up some Arabs, given 9/11, but I think we all have to agree the whole Iraq thing (not to mention Afghanistan) did NOT work out.

Saddam's victims would say otherwise. If they replaced him with a muzzy theocracy it would be much worse. Obama led the ME to a very bad place and has left it to Trump to fix
