I think Some are taking this a bit far. Why should Someone's business fail because they support or endorse a certain candidate? this is America... he should be able to vote for the wrong candidate if he wants to.
It just seems ridiculous to want a great American company to fail because the CEO is a lib.

Any U.S. Citizen can support any candidate for President. They can support their candidate by donating money, by volunteering for campaigns and by convincing their friends and families to vote for their candidate. What Mr. Leatherman has done has injected himself and his company into the political process.
Perhaps people should ask why he has done this, perhaps he's upset that Gerber has the military contract for multi-tools and figures supporting Kerry could allow his company to profit. Whatever his reasons he injected Leatherman products into the political process and deserves to suffer in the marketplace because of that decision.
Agree 100%. I don't agree with the political positions of a great number of companies and people. I am not going to boycott them just because of it. If so, I would have a very short list of companies I would do business with and an even shorter list of friends.
How would people feel if someone refused to do business when them because they support Bush? I am sure you would hear quite a bit of whining about it.
He is free to vote for whomever he wants, but the great thing about America is that we are free to boycott if we want. If a consumer gets utility out of knowing that the CEO of the company from which he buys products is a conservative, then fine with me.
Sure he has every right to vote for the wrong candidate...as I have every right to buy another companies products. Why not just keep your vote private? It's too bad, I have bought many leathermans as gifts over the years.
