Andrew Sullivan is a douche but when he’s right he’s right
The Hounding Of A Heretic, Ctd

He did not understand that in order to be a CEO of a company, you have to renounce your heresy! There is only one permissible opinion at Mozilla, and all dissidents must be purged! Yep, that’s left-liberal tolerance in a nut-shell. No, he wasn’t a victim of government censorship or intimidation. He was a victim of the free market in which people can choose to express their opinions by boycotts, free speech and the like. He still has his full First Amendment rights. But what we’re talking about is the obvious and ugly intolerance of parts of the gay movement, who have reacted to years of being subjected to social obloquy by returning the favor. Reihan notes the use of the word “integrity” about Mozilla:

More hyperbolic bullshit & generalizations.

He starts of with all the melodrama about purging dissidents, then claims it’s “left-liberal tolerance in a nut-shell”—broad brush he’s using there.

Imagine my surprise on noticing that when it comes to the group he’s part of, Mr. Sullivan suddenly uses a much finer brush to pick out “obvious and ugly intolerance of parts of the gay movement”. //

Since parts of the gay movement ≠ left-liberals as a whole, WTF is he even saying and which part of his word salad are you agreeing with? You’ve already made it clear that you dislike free market boycotting because you seem to think it’s similar to bullying or something, so…?
