I get the feeling you don't know what "witch hunt" means. Usually there's no consideration for the guilt or innocence of the subject. In GoDaddy's case they stated their support for SOPA, and received backlash from SOPA's detractors.

What's wrong with standing up for ideals you believe in? I claim that it is not wrong for a person to publicly announce that they will not do business with a person or company they find distasteful.
Yes, I remember the Godaddy witch hunt, the people jumping to conclusions, and the list of businesses that "support sopa".
It was only supported because you were on the side against sopa. If there was a witch hunt for something you didn't support, you would be against it.
I just wish more people would do the right thing, even if it is against their ideals.
