We live in a democracy. Simply disagreeing with someone doesn't give you the right to call them a racist, a bigot, a homophobe, etc. It doesn't solve anything, poisons the discourse, and polarizes the electorate.
That guy at Mozilla got attacked for hating gays since he donated to a campaign against gay marriage. If a man disagrees with another group on the definition of marriage, he should lose his job? That's very near fascism. Rationalize it however you like, it's still a form of bigotry... Rabble-rousing people against those you disagree with proves how little merit an argument has. Win a debate through logic, not by force. Otherwise just join ISIS

You're supposed to have free speech. Why do you need to boycott people that you disagree with politically? If Chic-fil-a were murdering people, I'd understand that. I get boycotting Russia, etc. But to try to harm people economically because they disagree with you? It's ridiculous and pathetic. I am neither a democrat nor a republican, but I purchase goods and services from people that are all the time...
Your life must be difficult to be so very opinionated...
You're not going to like the Orwellian society you're creating, where no one disagrees with the prevailing wisdom because ass holes organize campaigns against ANYONE that dares to have a contrary opinion. The ability to freely discuss and disagree is a critical feature of a successful democracy, how else is progress made?
