Via JMG: Quote Of The Day - Markos Moulitsas
"Would Sullivan rush to this guy's defense if it turned out he was a
Grand Wizard in the KKK? Of course not. We are allowed to be intolerant
of people who operate outside the bounds of civil decency. This wasn't
governmental action infringing on any Constitutional rights. This was
Mozilla developers saying they refused to do work with a bigot, private
websites blocking access to the Firefox browser because they refused to
do business with a bigot, and employees of the firm speaking up because
they refused to work for a bigot. In short, it was the free market
expressing itself. Eich was perfectly within his rights to stay at
Mozilla, but he would then face a hostile market and eventually faced
the reality that he couldn't do his job in that environment. The free
market spoke, and a free market enterprise was forced to react." -
Markos Moulitsas, founder of
Daily Kos, writing for his site.
