Krauthammer calls for Mozilla ‘counter-boycott’ after company fired anti-gay marriage CEO -- By Brendan Bordelon, The Daily Caller

Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer called for Americans to affect a “counter-boycott” of Mozilla after the company fired their CEO for donating to an anti-gay marriage campaign, calling the move “totalitarian discourse” that “shows a level of intolerance that ought to be unacceptable.”

Krauthammer spoke on a Fox News panel with USA Today columnist Kirsten Powers and conservative columnist George Will, discussing Brendan Eich’s dismissal from popular web browser provider Mozilla after activists discovered he donated $1,000 to California’s Prop 8 campaign — which made gay marriage illegal in the state. Many gay activists boycotted Mozilla, leading to Eich’s eventual termination.

Will noted that Eich’s dismissal is “an illustration of a new phenomenon. No one likes sore losers, but now we have sore winners. The gay rights movement is winning — particularly with regard to same-sex marriage — with a speed and breadth that simply takes your breath away . . . Yet unsatisfied with victory, they seem to want to stamp out and punish people for their previous views.”

While explaining that homosexual vindictiveness stems from decades of persecution in American society, Powers nevertheless expressed unease at the witch hunt against Eich. “Where does this end?” she asked. “Are we gonna start now — suddenly people are going to want their CEO fired because they gave to something they don’t like, or they’re pro-abortion rights and they have pro-life employees? So I think it’s a little bit out of control.”

Krauthammer was furious. “This is the culture of the left not being satisfied with making an argument, or even prevailing in an argument, but in destroying personally and marginalizing people who oppose them,” he asserted. “In the same way that proponents of climate change declare the issue closed — it’s over, there’s no debate, it is settled science — and therefore anybody who is skeptical of that is considered anti-science, and is called a denier.”
