&quot;Tolerance&quot; should never apply to bigotry. Fifty years ago, we&#x27;d be having this debate about the version of Brendan Eich that believed black and white people shouldn&#x27;t get married. Society didn&#x27;t tolerate bigotry then, and it shouldn&#x27;t tolerate it now.<p>Brendan Eich has the right to his opinion, and his employers (and customers) have the right to fire him for them. Political beliefs are not a protected class.<p>(As for Condoleezza Rice, she participated in war-mongering, which is totally different from &quot;political opinions&quot;.)
