OKC is basically committing Voter Intimidation by harassing an individual for his political donation. No American should be harassed for voting or donating to a politician or political cause, be it liberal or conservative. I think the Justice Dept could reprimand OKC for its actions.

When the Left don't agree with your position, they use bully tactics and intimidation. But, if you oppose their positions, you are told to "get used to it". Shame on OKC.

Sam - I'm on the left but disagree with such a personal attack for PR value here. Not a constructive move - http://uncrunched.com/2014/04/06/the-hypocrisy-of-sam-yagan-okcupid/

I can see that this was a PR move, too (as an aside, why are you hiding yourself, "Anon"?).
Good detective work, exposing Yagan's hypocrisy (his $500 donation to U.S. Congressman Chris Cannon in 2004, who is opposed to gay marriage, among other things).
Now, I know that Yagan doesn't use javascript anywhere at Match, right? Right?
My issue with the Left is that freedom of expression only works when it is for positions they support. When it is something they disagree with, well, we can't have hate-mongers and other ne'er-do-wells expressing themselves, now, can we?
How do we spell h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y again?
