Phil Donahue is a nice example, I'll concede, but it says more about the corruption of the MSM than anything.

>Why should I give money to an organization who's going to turn around and give it to a guy who's going to use it to compare my friends to child molesters

Where's the evidence that Eich has compared your friends to child molesters? You have none. Eich reaffirmed his own stance on equality going forward, at issue is that he just didn't want to recant his support for Prop 8, for which he donated his own money on his own time.

I'm not going to dignify your bullshit with any further responses just based on that comment.

Did you seriously not see the ads his money funded?

If he can't recant his donation, there is no reason to believe his vague "stance" on equality. Someone who is willing to enact their religion into law should be even more willing to enforce their religion in private employment. A promise not to do so rings hollow at best, incredibly hypocritical at worst.

Would it make you feel better if he were tossed for being a hypocrite?

Ah yes, he could've spared himself the trouble by just parroting empty words. The heretic should've just recanted!

>there is no reason to believe his vague "stance" on equality.

There is: no one at Mozilla Co. publically doubted his stance on equality, in fact you had many coming to his side. It was people at Mozilla Fnd. who've never interacted with him, were the ones with doubts.

But instead of waiting for Eich, who said "I can only ask for your support to have the time to “show, not tell”; and in the meantime express my sorrow at having caused pain,[1]" to actually back up his words with actions, a bunch of social justice warriors decided that the heretic must burn. I'm not going to call them equal-marriage rights advocates because they're just acted like a bunch of bullies who thought he'd somehow "evolve" like our politicking President did.

It's shameful.

Hello to the person who decided to downvote all of my posts in a dead discussion, though. You must be so proud. Could've at least replied with a comment comparing Eich to the KKK or something.

Two tips:

1) Don't whine about downvotes.

2) You can't downvote comments replying to your own, so the only post I could (and did) downvote was your first one.
