The Endless Purge: OKCupid Executive Discovered to Have Made Contributions to Anti-Gay-Marriage Congressman
— Ace

But remember: Inquisitors don't necessarily wish to burn you at the stake.

Their real goal is to get you to recant, and promote their favored orthodoxy.

Burning at the stake is the threat, but their actual goal is to compel you to repeat the approved dogmas.

So let's see if they accomplish their goal.

The Daily Caller reported five days ago:

Sam Yagan, who is currently CEO of the Match Group, which controls OkCupid [and was a cofounder of OKCupid -- ace], donated $500 to Barack Obama in 2007 and 2008 back when he still opposed gay marriage.

While president of the tech company Metamachine, Yagan also gave $500 to Republican Utah Rep. Chris Cannon. In 2006 Cannon voted in favor of the Marriage Protection Amendment, which would have defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman in the Constitution.

This story got big play today because it got past the Gatekeepers of the Leftist Information Fortress and was reported in Mother Jones.

See, when the Daily Caller reporter a fact, exclusively, it didn't matter, but now Mother Jones reports it and it officially Matters.

AllahPundit had speculated earlier today about Yagan's next steps vis-a-vis his Inquisitors:

He’s going to say one of two things in his defense (or both) once OkCupid comments on this. One: His donation to Cannon wasn’t about gay issues, it was about something unrelated — tech policy or whatever....

Two: HeÂ’ll claim that heÂ’s changed his mind on gay rights, just like Obama but (apparently) unlike Brendan Eich. (Yagan also donated to Obama in 2008, back when O was dutifully posing as a traditional-marriage supporter.) Eich never renounced his donation to Prop 8; Yagan will, presumably, happily renounce his Cannon donation now to avoid the dreaded charge of hypocrisy.

How did AllahPundit do?

Nailed it.

Today, the heretic recants, and affirms his belief in the One True Faith of Gay Marriage.

“A decade ago, I made a contribution to Representative Chris Cannon because he was the ranking Republican on the House subcommittee that oversaw the Internet and Intellectual Property, matters important to my business and our industry. I accept responsibility for not knowing where he stood on gay rights in particular; I unequivocally support marriage equality and I would not make that contribution again today. However, a contribution made to a candidate with views on hundreds of issues has no equivalence to a contribution supporting Prop 8, a single issue that has no purpose other than to affirmatively prohibit gay marriage, which I believe is a basic civil right.”

What a fascinating statement. Forgive me for reading it thus:

I didn't donate to Chris Cannon for his politics, of course. I just donated in order to buy some influence with him.

It is preferable to say, in 2014, that you are merely farming Congressmen for political favors than that you once thought that gay marriage was a little bit weird.


OKCupid

Whatever happens in private between two consenting adults and their political donation is no one else's business.

Two points I think I should make:

The fact that people have to donate to Congressmen for favors (or just to be left alone) isn't really the donors' fault -- it's Congressmen's fault, and voters' fault, for empowering government so much that people are forced to pay a defensive tax just to curry favor with legislators and presidents.

And I don't want Yagan fired, either, for the heresies of his own youth.

Although his cowardly failure to stand up for freedom of belief makes this a closer case than it would otherwise be.

The stupid thing about these fascists is that they will undermine their own cause, assuming that the real cause is not just that they are shitweasels.

 

Gay marriage is a cusp issue, it's basically tipping in their direction. Let's assume there is such a thing as a "persuadable", that's where the tipping happens.  I might make a reasoned case for gay marriage being a matter of equal rights under the law.  The next guy will say "those are the hypocritical witch hunters enforcing thought crimes". 

 

A lot of non-ideological persuadables will be repulsed by the goon squad tactics.

Since this  did come up this morning, maybe a couple things  ought to be said:

2.  Notable, but that's all I'm saying:  this didn't show up on the  morning radar here until it showed up in Mother Jones.  Funny, that.

28 Many commenters on the right were trying to equate this Eich affair with the Hobby Lobby case, but I didn't see many equate it to the McHutcheon campaign finance case. WHile Breyer focused on the anticorruptive aspect of it, many lefties made the comment that money was not equal to speech. Yet a mere day or two later they contradicted this by finding that donated money was direct speech that need to be renounced.

37 So he is copping to bribery (attempting to purchase the influence of an elected official) and being motivated solely by greed to deflect that he supported a candidate that opposed gay marriages. The DoJ investigates this right after they prosecute Lois Lerner.

45 Speaking of evolution. I have fully evolved to being 100% opposed to gay marriage. Here's how my evolution went. Stage 1: Of course gays should be able to marry! They just want to solidify their relationship, and they aren't hurting anyone. As long as churches aren't forced to participate, there's no reason why the government shouldn't let them get marrid. Stage 2: Uh, they're suing bakers and photographers? Well that's incredibly shitty. I'm not at all comfortable with that. Perhaps that doesn't mean that gay marriage itself is inherently wrong, but those vocally pushing it are shit heads. Stage 3: Wait, now the shit heads are getting people fired for having the audacity to support something that 80% of the country supported 5 years ago? No. Fuck you. You'll get civil unions and you'll like it. Stage 4: Oh,and you know what, having given the issue more thought, I suddenly very much understand the reason *why* people opposed gay marriage so much to begin with. Marriage isn't just something people do out of love, it's an incredibly integral part of many religions, and a sacrament. It sanctifies sexual relationships, and people are right to view the sanctification of sodomy as perverse. I don't think that's the sort of evolution they hoped for.

Oddly,  it's the same  with the illegal immigrant  issue.  You want  to talk about (like Gov. Perry did)  finding a way to make life a little easier for illegals, like letting children of them pay in-state tuition rates, or  even set up a workable guest worker program, you might sell  some of us on it.

 

But if you push to make them all citizens because open borders  and the rest of  the enchilada?  You're in for a severe  backlash.

 

It will come.  But radicals (and that's what they are, not progressives, not  liberals)  gotta be radical.

79 >>>What about "gay-stapo" or "gay-mafia"? not my cup of tea but better. But you know, focusing on the "gay" misdiagnoses the problem. This isn't just gay people, of course. It's many people, especially young single straight women with nothing much to do and not much on their minds, actually, who have just made this issue the central catechism of their lives (for this year and maybe next, while it's trendy).

80 The fact that people have to donate to Congressmen for favors (or just to be left alone) isn't really the donors' fault -- it's Congressmen's fault, and voters' fault, for empowering government so much that people are forced to pay a defensive tax just to curry favor with legislators and presidents. ---- It really is as simple as petitioning to the government, which last I checked was a right. A lot of people don't seem to mind that the government has the power to create winners and losers via the tax system and regulations. They just don't want to allow the losers to petition to become a winner, or the winners to petition to remain winners, or what is more typical, the winners to petition to punish other winners or losers even more.

89 Speaking of the Gaystapo and free speech, I assumed that Mark Steyn no longer wrote for NR because of the Mann litigation. But reading an article by Mark on Steynonline last night, it appears the rift came about over that NR editor's blow up over Mark's "inappropriate" reference to Bob Hope and Sinatra's old gay jokes - he felt they were beyond the pale. So stuff NR. (Also both NR and Mann continue to endlessly delay the litigation while NR holds Free Speech beg-a-thons and sends emails for money on the same premise).

The devil always overplays his hand.  I believe that they will be their own worst enemies. 

 

The case of Eich and the insistence of the thought crime police forcing him to resign turns a lot of people off even those that opposed prop. 8. 

 

 When gay activists were disrupting Catholic mass at different locations to make a point, people there that didn't have a bone to pick with gay people suddenly did because of their stunts while trying to worship.

 

Forcing a business to provide services such as a wedding cake or photography for a gay marriage when it goes against their values turns a lot of people off. 

 

School districts such as a few loonies in California that believe that they should have gender neutral bathrooms for "transgendered" elementary school children turn a lot of people off.

 

When in the news you read about man-hating feminist lesbians shouting against  white-male oppression in society turns a lot of people off.

 Stage 4: Oh,and you know what, having given the issue more thought, I suddenly very much understand the reason *why* people opposed gay marriage so much to begin with. Marriage isn't just something people do out of love, it's an incredibly integral part of many religions, and a sacrament. It sanctifies sexual relationships, and people are right to view the sanctification of sodomy as perverse.

I don't think that's the sort of evolution they hoped for.

He says believers in China praise God for the persecutions. Hard to imagine, but there it is. Suffering grows the faith. It does not kill it.

162 Of course we should be calling for firings.  So long as we remain civilized and polite about it, refusing to make them feel any pain for their actions, they will continue.

But the big target must be Mitchell Baker at Moz Corp.  She is the one who forced Eich out.  She had a tough decision to make, throw a longtime colleague (and probably a friend) under the bus or do the right thing and probably suffer for it.  She made the wrong choice and then doubled down and went from being able to use fear or just trying to protect the 'bottom line' into pure evil when she issued that Double Speak press release redefining throwing somebody to a howling mob into 'standing up for tolerance.'

Keep the pressure on her.  Identify the target, personalize it.  Freeze it.  Take it down.  Send the next corporate exec the message that doing the wrong thing also has a price.  The GheyKK has already made them fear opposing their mob action.  Put em in a no-win scenario and force them to choose the less bad option, and make sure doing the right thing is the less bad option.

Women that do that are just into degradation, not my thing.

 

Women think they can be the spokesperson for female sexuality because they own a vagina and know how it works.  The thing is, straight women know how one vagina works.  There is huge variability in vaginas, clitori, labia, g-spots and lots of other sensitive goings-on.  Female sexual response is very individualized and has to be figured out on each individual female.  And I can assure you that there are non-degraded women who can enjoy an orgasm from anal.

The Left is never going to follow our example and stop this sort of behavior because we appeal to their better angels, they'll stop it because it's played out and ends up biting them in the ass. 

Also, let's not forget, all of this was done to promote a website nobody had ever even heard about before this.  It was slimeball tactic to get some free press.  I actually put most of the blame on Mozilla's board.  Nobody would have given two shits had they just ignored it. It wasn't really the "gay community" that started this uproar, it was a guerilla marketing campaign using McCarthy tactics.

Big Anus is entirely appropriate and it refers to the pan-homosexual political nature of the movement. Gaystapo and Al-Gayeda are for describing the taliban and brown shirt mentality.

Facism..there is that bundle again

 

The term fascismo is derived from the Latin word fasces.[14] The fasces, which consisted of a bundle of rods that were tied around an axe,[15] was an ancient Roman symbol of the authority of the civic magistrate.[16] They were carried by his lictors and could be used for corporal and capital punishment at his command.[17][18] The word fascismo also relates to political organizations in Italy known as fasci, groups similar to guilds or syndicates.

The symbolism of the fasces suggested strength through unity: a single rod is easily broken, while the bundle is difficult to break.[19] Similar symbols were developed by different fascist movements. For example the Falange symbol is five arrows joined together by a yoke.[20]

226 I voted against Prop 8 back in 2008. (That is to say, I voted to legalize gay marriage.) I was a little bit on the fence about it, but I thought, "What the hell, I don't really care about this issue, and in cases where I don't really care, my default position should be to just let things stand as they are, and not strive for a change in the law (i.e. the change in altering the CA constitution, which Prop 8 was). So -- just vote No." I'm squishy on many social issues. I'm not Christian, not religious, and frankly I'm happy to let everyone else battle it out on these issues. But you know what? Almost immediately I began to regret my vote. Not because I suddenly cared about gay marriage, but because of the fascist response of my fellow "No on 8" voters when they found out they lost. Few remember this now, but on the very night of the election, mobs of "gay activists" roamed out from the Castro smashing up cars that lacked sufficient "No on 8" regalia, and stopping passersby and asking them how they voted -- if they hesitated, or refused to answer, they got their asses beat. I thought even that night -- WTF??? I voted the same way as a gang of totalitarian thugs? This is creeping me out. And from that day forward, every fascistic step of the way, that feeling increased. The last three days have been the final straw. I realize now this has NOTHING to do with gay marriage. It is the human urge toward Total Control. These people are no different that the Cambodian Khmer Rouge killing anyone who wore glasses or knew a foreign language. No different from the Taliban beheading anyone who could not recite the Islamic creed. No different from any totalitarian mob throughout history. The gay marriage supporters are very near the bloodlust stage right now. I have no doubt that if they had the power, they would line up conservatives against a wall and mow them down -- while screaming in joy as they killed for "righteousness." It is scary. Now I do have an opinion on the matter. Fuck you. Fuck all of you and your whole fucking agenda. You may be winning public victories, but in private you have made a new generation of enemies.

238 Yagan's presumed defense is valid. Donating to a politician who holds different views on different issues is not the same as donating to a specific cause; it's a much looser association. Doesn't mean what okc did was right though.

That's what he is hoping his spin convinces people but the fact is he knew that the politician that he donated to had as one of his main platform points was the Defense of Marriage Act.   I would  say in  fact that it was probably the one he most campaigned on being from Utah.   It was not like that position was a minor position.

They fucked up.  On an epic scale.  4% of their users were fags.  By folding to the fags they lost 30% of their users.

Great business model.  Nicely done.  Hope Obamacare covers your dumb ass and hello EBT cards.  Welcome to being the scum of society, courtesy of having no balls.

Know what I do when I see someone using an EBT card at the store?  I glare at them with open hostility.  Because, fucker, that's my money you're spending.  And fuck you.  Mozilla former employees are about to join the ranks of the disgraced.

I don't think it's valid at all. 

The man said people should boycott an entire company all because the CEO donated to a cause he disagreed with.  The "target" lost his job over a political view that had absolutely nothing to do with his job performance, and the crowed how happy he was Mozilla did it.

If you're going to use those ridiculous standards to push people around, than you better be prepared for a purity test.

278 In San Diego, Gay Republican Finds He Can’t Count on Gay and Lesbian Vote google the article, it was in the NYT. It is so ironic it can make you cry for laughter In part, Mr. Filner, a former Freedom Rider and outspoken advocate of gay rights, owes his wide support from gay voters to simple partisan politics: gays and lesbians across the country vote overwhelmingly for Democrats. Some refuse to support anyone affiliated with a party that this year made opposition to gay marriage part of its platform. Mr. DeMaio said that it is only a small minority among gay voters, with ties to organized labor, that is so vocally opposed to him. But the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund, which supports openly gay candidates from both parties, did not endorse Mr. DeMaio. Since then, Mr. DeMaio has stated his support for gay marriage, and voted to support gay causes on the council. But he has also accepted endorsements and campaign money from major donors to Proposition 8. And social issues like gay rights, he has repeatedly said, would not be a priority for him as mayor. “I’m proud of San Diego that sexual orientation has not played an issue in this race,” Mr. DeMaio said. “I’ve been running on fiscal reforms and prosperity to create jobs. That’s the agenda that I think has brought so many diverse groups together.” ============================= Can we have a gay politician that cares about fiscal reform and jobs? NOOOOOOO, he would be an Aunt Tom, so there you have it, Big Anus is homophobic to Gays that try to think about serious issues.

First wave of the attack came in disguised as commercial charter flights same way they did in Afghanistan in '80. Only they were crack Airborne outfits. Now they took these passes in the Rockies. Jed Eckert: So that's what hit Calumet. Col. Andy Tanner: I guess so. They coordinated with selective nuke strikes and the missiles were a helluva lot more accurate than we thought. They took out the silos here in the Dakotas, key points of communication. Darryl Bates: Like what? Col. Andy Tanner: Oh, like Omaha, Washington, Kansas City. Darryl Bates: Gone? Col. Andy Tanner: Yeah. That's right. Infiltrators came up illegal from Mexico. Cubans mostly. They managed to infiltrate SAC bases in the Midwest, several down in Texas and wreaked a helluva lot of havoc, I'm here to tell you. They opened up the door down here, and the whole Cuban & Nicaraguan armies come walking right through, rolled right up here through the Great Plains. Robert: How far did they get? Col. Andy Tanner: Cheyenne, across to Kansas. We held them at the Rockies and the Mississippi. Anyway, the Russians reinforced with 60 divisions. Sent three whole army groups across the Bering Strait into Alaska, cut the pipeline, came across Canada to link up here in the middle, but we stopped their butt cold. The lines have pretty much stabilized now. Robert: What about Europe? Col. Andy Tanner: I guess they figured twice in one century was enough. They're sitting this one out. All except England, and they won't last very long.

319 Petard comes from the Middle French peter, to break wind, from pet expulsion of intestinal gas, from the Latin peditus, past participle of pedere, to break wind, akin to the Greek bdein, to break wind (Merriam-Webster). Petard is a modern French word, meaning a firecracker (it is the basis for the word for firecracker in several other European languages).

321 What are gays going to scream about after they get gay marriage?

I honestly believe 99% of loud gays are just liberals that pretend these issues are all they care about.  It's sort of like the anti-war crowd during Bush's tenure.  Suddenly, Guntanamo Bay, iraq, Drone strikes, phone tapping, etc became a non-issue as soon as Obama was sworn in.

I guarantee you if gay marriage becomes a non-issue in the future, with both Republicans and Democrats supporting it, these same loud obnoxious gay people will still vote the same exact way.

Unfortunately it's mainly white, upper income females that really buy into the whole gay marriage shit with a passion.  You would think gays were being sprayed down with fire hoses in front of courthouses.  They're consumed by this issue.

You like... cut yourself in the bathroom?  Doing meth?  I mean, no one is this fucked up without some external chemical influence.  Alcohol?  Can't be weed, I've seen that.

Yer just a fuckin' mess, and experience has taught me that people like you are fucked up because of a chemical dependency.  So what is it?  Meth?  (my guess)  coke?  pills? 

Something. 

Get some help.

Or die in a pile of your own shit and vomit.

You pick.  I've seen it.  I know how it ends.

356 "Unfortunately it's mainly white, upper income females that really buy into the whole gay marriage shit with a passion." That is because those stupid airheads are thinking about their hair stylist in upper manhattan or the 2 actors from brokeback mountain. If they only knew that 90% of gheys have a close to physical repulsion of their lady parts (but not of male anuses) and underneath a façade of sisterhood they think that with less women around (and/or less sexually available women around) more men would switch to the other side so their pool of sexual partners would increase, they would change their mind. Just think about this: once every single judge of the country will be forced to assign orphans to 2-men couples instead of male-female household, what is the rational justification for alimony and house to the ex wife? If a man is as good as a biological mother, there is no need to assign house, children and money to the divorced mother, especially when the latter is a "white, upper income females". oh, the law of unintended consequences... be careful when you wish for gay marriage...

358 The Massachusetts law against anyone seen on the streets with "muddy brains" was passed by the General Court on June 18, 1645.  It read that, "he who offends in excessive and long drinking, shall set in the stocks for three hours, when weather is seasonable."  For the 15 years prior to that law, Puritan communities dealt with drunkards in a variety of ways.  ...  A year later [1644], Robert Coles is back before the magistrates for "drunkenness by him, comitted at Rocksbury." His penalty this time was, "to wear about his neck and hang upon his outward garment, a 'D' made of red cloth and set upon white, to continue this for a year, and not to have it off any time he comes among company, under penalty five pounds, and afterwards to be punished by the Court. Also he is to wear the 'D' outwards." This last comment by the court clerk seems to infer that when Coles was first forced to wear his "drunkard" sign, he sometimes hid it under his shirt.

Instead of taking the simplistic, knee-jerk path, I always seem to find a different side of the issue to put out there - even though I know I'll catch tons of shit. I guess it comes from having the self confidence to know what is right. I've been married for 34 years to woman that still turns heads, made a lot of money and always knew that following the crowd wasn't for me. My question is: Why all the hate?

376 About, I dunno, maybe a decade ago? My default position was "Sure, let em' get married!" I then rethought based on what happened in MA and Boston Catholic adoption centers, in particular (to clarify, it made me reconsider "marriage" as a State's interest in promoting stable, contractual arrangements for the raising of children.) And then I thought further... My H8tful pondering led me to believe that the "gay activists" do not have the well-being of society, a democratic polity or even their own goddamn kids in mind! I was persuaded by logic and arguments to a "Traditional Marriage" stance. Let me be clear! (Heh.) I was more worried about our civic culture than Dan and Ben's undying love. (Fuck Dan! Fuck Ben! [They know I lurves 'em & they are fucking [b]Grownups who can deal w/ a policy dispute]) ! And it breaks my heart to see how deeply degenerate our civil discourse has become on this issue. I'd NEVER want to be the one who says, "I told you so!" and in fact, I can't. All of my little worries and concerns back when I initially started thinking about the issue have been so fucking fantastically superceded, I have no words. It is just SUCH a violation of 1A rights that I...I... I, literally, have no words. I dunno, maybe I'm the "privileged" dummy! (I have these..ideas, you see! Perhaps a lifetime of being raped from an early age (they do NOT know how a woman gets impregnated, BTW) in some goat-loving, boy-fucking Pashtun village cheiftan would get my mind right.
