ABC Uses Footage of Hateful Westboro Baptist to Slime CEO Who Opposes Gay Marriage
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] According to Good Morning America's Linzie Janis, a CEO who made a donation in opposition to gay marriage is the same as the hateful members of Westboro Baptist. On Friday, Janis reported on Brendan Eich, the former head of the tech company Mozilla. Eich was ousted after liberal groups found out that in 2008 he made a $1000 donation to support Proposition 8 in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,.
Not that it's any of my business what you do, but I think if you're using Firefox you should immediately drop it in favor of Chrome or Opera or Safari or even IE.
As Janis spoke about the six-year-old donation, video footage of Westboro Baptist protesters with "God hates fags" and "soldiers die 4 fag marriage" signs appeared on-screen.

On the December 07, 2012 World News, ABC news hound Terry Moran used the same hateful Westboro Baptist footage for a story on the Supreme Court ruling over gay marriage.

Eich was the CEO of Mozilla, which produces the web browser Firefox. Earlier this week, the dating website OKCupid launched a boycott, something Janis touted as a "game changer."

Janis offered no voices opposing to what occured, instead she featured business writer Jillian D'onfro to tout, "So for [OKCupid] to take that stand and say, 'hey, we don't want you using Firefox,' that was big and that got a lot of attention."

Offering no hint of criticism, she marveled, "..It's remarkable how one company's online popularity here, essentially, gave it the clout to force out another company's CEO."

#2 Re: Chrome, Safari and IE -- I don't think the CEO's of Google, Apple and Microsoft (of MSNBC fame) are any less offensive to free speech than the syphilitic maggots who ousted Mozilla's CEO.
