As rare as these types of lawsuits are, most business people are 
conservatives, so it stands to reason that most would be brought by people

on the right, but that having been said, you of course have some proof of 
your assertion, right?

Furthermore, when it comes to lawsuits against conservative bu****ness 
people, it's epidemic, and sponsored by the left's largest single 
contributors, the trial lawyers.

Someone in business can get sued for asking someone applying for a job
their 
age for example, and that is a law passed by the left. Left-wing
legislation 
designed to suppress free speech.

Try again, Rudy.
