WASHINGTON POST
— ARTICLE TITLE IN THE DAILY HERALD: Ex-Clinton aides doubt reasons given for FBI director’s firing- Abby Phillip (DIERSEN: Constructively, being forced to retire is the same as being fired. QUESTION: What reasons did my Democrat GAO superiors have to fire me in 1997? ANSWER: Since 1988, I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I had always complained about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I was an old (49) non-veteran White male who had always been a conservative Republican. Employees in the office who were liberal, Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger talked and acted like they would leave GAO if GAO did not rid of its employees who were conservative, Republican, White, male, and/or older. Diersen could and would be used as an “example” to send a “message” to everyone a) that GAO gives tremendous preference to its employees who are liberal, Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran and b) that GAO does everything that it can to not hire and to get rid of its employees who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

— Black Women Move to Forefront in Fight for Racial Equality A new generation of black women is moving to take and keep a place at the forefront of the fight against racial bias. – AP (DIERSEN: To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group.
