You know, after a friend reminded me of Bill Clinton's blanket-firing of 93 US attorneys in the early days of his administration based solely on their Republican affiliation, I had a lot less sympathy for the firing of the acting AG due to her (in)actions (the subject in the above thread in question). So I can understand your sentiment.
However, let's call a spade a spade: your comment was crap.
If you had elaborated on why you thought that was "good", I think you'd likely have a case here. Though based upon what I've seen of the moderation here, I think you probably wouldn't have gotten the reprimand you did.
I consider myself a (mostly fiscal) conservative. I think HN has a left-leaning bias, which is no real surprise given its Californian roots. However, from what I've seen the moderators here have done a pretty good job of keeping things from getting wildly partisan.
