Playing ‘the card’: How often does this tactic get used? My bet is pretty often!

Race card, gay card, whatever card you can get an advantage with is in vogue. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are masters. However, in their cases it’s usually extortion, as in a threat that if they don’t get their wishes they will boycott and label their targets racists. That’s good ole ‘community organizing 101’.

Break the law and get caught, accuse the cops of racism, screw up the economy and someone call you on it, call them racists. Run for president though not a ‘natural born citizen and then forge a birth certificate and get called on it, call them racists.

Lesbian waitress in ‘anti-gay’ receipt flap fired

Lesbian waitress in ‘anti-gay’ receipt flap fired

A New Jersey waitress who raked in thousands in donations after claiming a couple didn’t tip her because she’s gay was fired from her job on Saturday.

Dayna Morales, 22, was finally canned from Gallop Asian Bistro in Bridgewater — nearly a month after she made national headlines over what’s likely a hoax.

The restaurant announced her termination on Facebook Saturday shortly after it was revealed she was returning donations from supporters across the world.

“In light of … recent events, both Ms. Morales and Gallop Asian Bistro have made a joint decision that Ms. Morales will no longer continue her employment at our restaurant,” the eatery wrote. “We wish her well in the future.”

The waitress, a former Marine, claimed the couple stiffed her on a $93.55 bill and left a note saying, “I’m sorry but I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle.”

But her tale of prejudice began to unravel after the unnamed diners came forward with receipts showing an $18 tip.

The purported incident created a media firestorm, with well-wishers sending Morales at least $3,000 in donations through a PayPal account. Morales claimed she’d send proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project, but the group said it hasn’t received anything.

Meanwhile some donors said their money was quietly returned over the weekend.

“I received a refund … for the donation I made to Dayna Morales,” Kate Dols posted on the “Have a Gay Day” Facebook page. “Glad to see she is doing the right thing … Dayna, you need help, please seek it.”

Acquaintances say Morales — who was dishonorably discharged from the military — has a history of fibbing and at one point pretended she had terminal cancer.

“She exaggerated every story,” former coworker Julie Howat told The Post. “I knew [the receipt] was fake. When the articles came out, everyone at my job laughed.”
