Try to look at the forest instead of any individual tree.
The ex-Mozilla CEO donated to an anti-gay marriage SuperPAC; the entire existence of that SuperPAC was 100% dedicated to opposition to gay marriage.
Google donated to a candidate that has voted on hundreds of different bills; less than 1% of his votes are under scrutiny in this Twitter thread.
- bobbytran 7y agoDo you have proof that the SuperPACs only purpose was to oppose gay marriage? He donated a very small amount of personal money as opposed to an entire company making donations.
- BrendanEich 7y agoSee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_action_committee#Super_PACs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_action_committee#Sup... and https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colbert-gets-a-super-pac-so-what-are-they/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colbert-gets-a-super-pac-so-wha.... Citizens United (2010) after SpeechNow (2009) created Super-PACs. Prop 8 was on the CA ballot in 2008. So the comment above is technically wrong to use "Super-PAC", which was coined in 2010, but it sounds scarier than PAC. The double standard and special pleading for Google stink.
