If they tried to do what he is proposing, the blowback woukd be so immense that it would threaten all the gains they made. There is a lot of people who support gay marriage but not the homo lifestyle.

They could lose those people very easily and that is basically what Saletan is warning about along with Andrew Sullivan.

In the end, the gay lobby, while vocal, is still a tiny minority and they rely on the patronage of others for their support, once they expose themselves widely as bullies, they lose a ton of support.

Why stop there?

Purge anybody who donates to any Republican, or who votes for any Republican.

We can't rest until we have driven our enemy to the grave.

Heil Hitler!

I’ve been through the article twice and find nothing resembling satire.

...are you seriously suggesting that he is urging his readers to actively pursue everyone on the lists he provides?

Why shouldn’t I?

I see no evidence to the contrary.

Forty years ago, Barack Obama’s compatriots wanted to send 25 million of us to the ovens, and not as pastry chefs.

Compared to that, costing 35000 people their jobs is trivial.

I would imagine that Eich will be getting a chunk of change for his part of the business. Were I he I would use that money to sue the web page, Mozilla, it’s remaining officers and board members for defamation of character. From what I can tell all Eich did was donate money which is protected speech.

Wow, I thought this must be satire but links like this evil troll is serious.

Punchline: "Otherwise, perhaps we should put down the pitchforks." Implying that his fellow proggies are an unruly mob storming the tech industry with pitchforks and torches in search of Prop8 nonconformists.

If we’re serious about taking down corporate officers who supported Proposition 8, and boycotting employers who promote them, we'd better get cracking on the rest of the list. Otherwise, perhaps we should put down the pitchforks.

The sad thing about liberal haters is they'll probably miss the sarcasm in this piece.

You realize that this article is satire?

How can you satirize your own position? I would maybe call it reductio ad absurdum maybe.

“You realize that this article is satire? He is saying that if you are going to call for Eich to be fired, call for all the others who donated as well or shut up.”
**********************************************************************

It doesn’t meet my definition of satire. He’s calling on progressives to go “ALL IN” on a campaign of destroying those who oppose their agenda. He and other progressives are smelling blood in the water and are marveling at their success in destroying this man. The irrational HATRED that the progressives have for their enemies and their desires to absolutely destroy those enemies is boundless.

Yep, he’s simply saying “go big or go home” or “let’s do it”. The progressives are insane sociopaths who, at the moment, smell blood and want more-—LOTS MORE.

From our Nostalgia Department:

Remember waaaay back - when they just wanted to be able to carry on without ‘discrimination’ against them?

Did anyone predict they actually wanted to take over the politics of the United States and dispose of anyone and everyone who disapproved?

Well, yes, but no one listened.

I read it, the satire was subtle, but it was there. Was he saying his before the firing/resignation? Cause its easy now to be a smart ass about this.

My guess is that this guy was lynched from within Mozilla, the $1k contribution was simply an excuse to get rid of him. What we just saw was an internal power struggle at Mozilla which this guy LOST.

Nothing will come of the rest of the people on the list. Some may try to get another movement going, but it will fail, articles like this will be the given reason for the failure, the movement will see the error of it’s ways...blah..blah..blah.

This is all bullshit, this was an inside job. Prime suspect? Who gets the CEO job now?

I read the full article.

I saw no indication it was satire.


Please post the last line of it ...

Already did, in Post 26.

Translates to “Go big or go home”, “Don’t stop now”, “We’re on a roll”.

Um, no. Translates to "satire". I'm betting the writer has read Jonathan Swift, while you haven't.

You mean the Jonathan Swift, early 18th century Irish author, famous for writing “A Modest Proposal”?

Yeah, I’ve read it.

You lose.

We need to define a new term. Homohatred. (noun) It's the intense hatred homosexuals use to destroy those who they cannot control- like those who are against redefining marriage, or the Boy Scouts, etc.

If these faggots get AIDS it is not my fault. The Zerocare mandates will not force me into AIDS treatment payments that I think is anti-Christ. The goobermint enforcers may have to accept self defense or fight against it in the war against citizens. The one thing I have to say against government statists is that they are outnumberered and hiztory has them hanging from lampposts!!!

Read thru the thousands of comments; the homos don’t see it as satire. They see it as war, and the battle is joined.
