More hypocricy from our friends from the Yes-on-8 camp. This time they have the CHUTZPAH to try and change the law to protect people who reached into their pocketbooks to deprive us of our rights.
FTA:
"No one should have to worry about getting a death threat because of the way he
or she votes," said James Bopp Jr., an attorney representing two groups that
supported Proposition 8, Protectmarriage.com and the National Organization
for Marriage California. "This lawsuit will protect the right of all people to
help support causes they agree with, without having to worry about harassment or
threats."
OK. Death threats=bad- even if the people receiving them took the time to DONATE MONEY TO TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHTS. But death threats aren't really happening en masse to prop h8 supporters. Show me news articles of straights running for their lives and I'll be alarmed (and slightly amused), but it's NOT HAPPENING. Now, all of this might even warrant the teensiest bit of sympathy; however, you may recall this charming letter which I will quote from here:
"Were you not to donate comparably [to yes-on-8], it would be a clear indication
that you are in opposition to traditional marriage... The names of
companies and organizations that chose not to donate in like manner to
protectmarriage.com but have given to Equality California will be published."
In summary, if you are going to pull your Gestapo-brownshirt-bullshit then try to cry foul when the opposition does the same, you are going to face the whole of the internets to call you out on your hypocricy.
