Where do you draw the line at a businesses right to refuse service? I once told a guy to pound sand when he asked me to make him a custom grille emblem that had a swastika in it. Nobody faults me for that, but if I refused to make a gay pride emblem the liberals would be all over me.

In the comments section, there was a link to where the tow truck operator had pled guilty to insurance fraud in South Carolina.I'm guessing the commenter must have had a grudge against Mr.Shupe.There's a skeleton in every closet.
This is what happens when you mix your politics with your business.

On the other side of the border, we have a huge tragedy in play, with massive, out of control, wildfires, burning through parts of small cities. In fact, nature turned so quickly and violently, that most persons fled with their families and clothes on their backs, as sparks cascaded on the road they were fleeing on.
A living, life threatening hell.
This is the centre of the northern Oil industry in Canada and home to some of Canada's most conservative citizens. The local Provincial member is the Leader of a party of the extreme right. His house was burned down.
To the point. Canadians from all stripes and across the country, including the Federal Liberal Government are doing everything in their power to aid them. Politics here is not infected by assholes in times of crisis.

So denying Nazis is equivalent to denying gays?

This is a tough subject, I can fault the tow truck driver for telling the driver why but not fault him for passing on the tow. Every year x number of tow truck drivers are killed in the line of work, so who you risk your life for comes to mind. The law says if you stop and get out to help that you have to stay unless you provide help or other help arrives. Often a tow operator comes by and tells or not that he cannot, sometimes something is already on the hook or en route to another call. Bad form is something a seasoned professional does not practice.

When he saw “a bunch of Bernie Sanders stuff” he said he told the woman, “very politely,” that he could’t tow her car because she was “obviously a socialist” and advised her to “call the government” for a tow.
"Every business dealing in recent history with a socialist minded person I have not gotten paid," Shupe said. "Every time I deal with these people I get 'Berned' with an 'e' not a 'u'."
Shupe, who runs Shupee Max Towing in Travelers Rest, said he is a conservative Christian who supports Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

He's gonna have a hard time explaining that action to Jesus.
