Religious fundamentalists target the rest of us all the time. That is the problem here, not the other way around.
It's exactly this hateful, viciously intolerant attitude Eich represents ("someone nice"? seriously?). There's nothing silly about not wanting anything to do with people like that, or the organisations they represent.
And that's all people have done: stated, in various ways, they wanted nothing to do with Eich.
Which doesn't even come close to Eich's agenda of denying people equal rights simply because of how they were born.
I find it beyond comprehension that someone like Eich is being portrayed as the victim here, or that we should simply accept having active bigots as leaders, CEO's, employers or business partners.
The protesters aren't the lynch mob. Eich and his kind are.
