Oops, looks like someone has realized the left is intolerant. Watch Andrew Sullivan, gay advocate for “marriage equality” castigate those who would attack Brendan Eich, yet not Hillary Clinton, who held the same views and a heck of a lot more power on the issue than did Eich.
Via The Dish:
Some of the very same people who have jumped up and down with delight as Brandon Eich lost his job will doubtless be backing Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 if she runs.
The “Ready for Hillary” ranks are crowded with gay men – and good for them.
But it’s worth considering some consistency here.
If it is unconscionable to support a company whose CEO once donated to the cause against marriage equality, why is it not unconscionable to support a candidate who opposed marriage equality as recently as 2008, and who was an integral part of an administration that embraced the Defense Of Marriage Act, signed into law by Bill Clinton?
How do you weigh the relative impact of a president strongly backing DOMA – even running ads touting his support for it in the South – and an executive who spent $1000 for an anti-marriage equality Proposition?
