Louis J Marinelli who defected from the National Organization for Marriage this weekend is like a gift that keeps on giving.
First Louis exposed NOM for what a few of us actually thought it was. Not a “grassroots campaign” against gay marriage, but small organization, with small pockets of anti-gay haters scattered across the country with big mouths bankrolled by private anti-gay big bucks backers.
Today on Marinelli’s blog, Louis exposes NOM’s “reward point” system for haters. In exchange for propaganda and lies posted on the web about the LGBT Community and gay marriage, NOM is offering reward points (see chart) that can be earned and redeemed at some later date for money or a lunch with NOM’s President Brian Brown (gasp!)
As part of my job with NOM, I was instructed to create a point system to reward the propagandists. Everything they do will be tracked and NOM plans to reward them. In the future, when this team gets off the ground, NOM intends to use the technology behind Mr. Brown’s ActRight conservative activism website to facilitate tracking, create a competitive atmosphere between the propagandists and allow them to redeem the points they earn in a variety of ways, including lunch with Mr. Brown himself.
Far from grassroots operation if you’re rewarding them with prizes and an all-inclusive lunch with the President of the organization. It’s appropriate for NOM though, considering the fact that those who do support them and spew their hate and rhetoric are completely comfortable doing so through a computer screen.
So there we have it. Like the Moral Minority of the 80’s who then called themselves the Moral Majority and like the Tea Party of the present. They are just small minded evil people with big mouths and big money backing them. The lie, plant propaganda, scream, buy airtime and politicians and repeat the rhetoric over and over. That’s been their strategy since Jerry Fawell came on the scene.
We’ve seen this over and over for the past 30 years. It’s time to bust-up that strategy, use it against them and expose them
Okay now this is really the funniest she’s been in her career. What a MORON. And you have to laugh her reference to her having gay friends. They must be those closeted republicans that keep getting caught tapping their shoes in airport bathrooms or Chris Barron of GOProud.
The quote below comes from Maggie “I never met a porkchop I didn’t like” Gallagher in a lame attempt to seperate her virulant anti-gay hate group from the crazxy anti-gay hate group that started it all The Westboro Baptist Church and its recent Supreme Court win over First Admendment right to hate speech.
“The fringe cult calling itself Westboro Baptist (a small congregation consisting of close, and possibly incestuous, relatives of Fred Phelps, who calls himself a pastor) first became famous by protesting gay rights events with revolting signs suggesting that God hates gay people. (They used another offensive terms as well). These ugly signs proved irresistible to reporters from the New York Times etc., who like to pretend this sentiment captures religious conservatives’ views generally.
Only Justice Sam Alito had the common sense to recognize that somewhere in our great Constitution, there has to be a way to let people bury their dead, without becoming the objects of other people’s monomaniacal desire to disrupt their grieving for publicity purposes.” – Maggie Gallagher
A rose is a rose is a rose…
MASSIVE FAIL Moooooo-gie. You cannot pretend that your “kinder gentler” homophobic bigotry is less repulsive than that of Fred Phelps
Speaking at a press conference, Sam Hall (pictured left) a gay West Virginia coal miner called on the WV Legislature to add sexual orientation to state anti-discrimination laws Monday
.Hall recounted a litany of verbal abuse, threats and vandalism he alleges occurred while he worked for Massey Energy Co. Hall filed a lawsuit against a Massey subsidiary and one of its officials last year.
“If the labor laws would have been amended earlier to contain sexual orientation discrimination, myself as well as other gay West Virginians would have not to endure such demeaning and inexcusable behavior,” Hall said. “Why, as West Virginians, do you allow this type of behavior and harassment to occur and then go unpunished?”
The West Virginia Family Foundation (a tax exempt 501(c)(4) of course) that calls itself an “official affilaite” of the recognized anti-gay hate group the American Family Association Presidents Kevin McCoy said this in a statement:
“What we have witnessed here today is a brazen and open promotion of the deviant behavior and lifestyle of homosexuality by elected leaders. These bills will require acceptance of homosexuality to be taught in West Virginia’s public schools.”
Oh God forbid that acceptance and tolerance of others who are different be taught in schools! The catastrophe that would bring!
Acting Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, and Delegate Barbara Fleischauer, D-Monongalia, joined Hall and dozens of supporters chanting “Stand with Sam.” Kessler, the chief sponsor of a measure that would add sexual orientation to discrimination laws in the Senate, is running for governor this year.and calls the legislation “a clear recognition that in this state all men and all women are created equal and have an opportunity to succeed and be happy if they play by the rules.”
As for McCoy and the Christomaniac loons of the The West Virginia Family Foundation Fleischauerdoesn’t blink in her criticism. “As I recall, the Bible was used to justify slavery. The Bible was used to justify control over women by their husbands,” she said. “Opposing this law means that you are for discrimination.”
