| Brendan Eich, CEO Mozilla |

Should one tolerate intolerance? What is intolerance? Daily Kos
writer Mark E Andersen implicitly asked those questions in a
front-page post this past Sunday, and answered them in the manner you'd expect
of a blogger for the lefty site.
Apropos of the flap over former Mozilla
CEO Brendan Eich's backing of Proposition 8, Andersen declared that he, like
"the vast majority of us on the left," is "tolerant" of
different opinions, but that he won't put up with "actions" he finds
"bigot[ed]...outdated, backwards," such as opposition to same-sex
marriage. He asserted that it's a "simple fact" that "the Tea
Party and their conservative brethren...are bullies."
From Andersen's post (emphasis added):
...We've all heard this argument from the right before, that
those of us on the left are the ones that [are] intolerant because we refuse to
tolerate the beliefs of the right.
