Prop. 8 supporters file fed suit challenging campaign donor disclosure laws

Justin McLachlan

broke this story hours ago, but of course the Sac Bee doesn't give him credit because he's a blogger (even though his report is more indepth).

But anyway, their argument is spurrious and will fail. But it shows you how far they'll go.

ADF proundly listed this as their top story

yesterday afternoon on their alliancealert.org news page.
I was surprised there was no news of this.  I google "gay rights" regularly throughout the day and nothing.  

This is on purpose in the East District Court rather than San Francisco.  Also I notice that on the legal brief (linked from alliancealert.org) I notice that the address of the ADF lawyer is in Folsom, CA at the same address as anti gay lawyer Andrew Pugo (sp) who is a rabid "ANITA" in his constant work to do away with my rights.

Link to ADF page

http://www.alliancealert.org/2...

Brief is linked off of this.  I notice that the law firm helping the ADF with this is from non-gay friendly Indiana.  So much for protest to California laws being local.

Fucking cowards.

They boycott companies like Disney and Ford, even ones that didn't actually do anything (like McDonald's), then howl "discrimination!" when GLBTQ folk have the gall to boycott businesses that used their money to strip them of rights.

They mock the courts as "activist judges" then run there when there's something they don't like.

Fuck these people.

How the hell do they reconcile their bullshit?

Hypocrisy

If you can't stand behind your political beliefs, maybe they shouldn't have them then?

Exactly.

They don't have the courage of their convictions when people start pushing back.

That's because...

...cognitive dissonance is a way of life for them. Everything they believe in is a lie and that's reflected in everything they do and every statement they make.  If they weren't so vicious, I might find a scintilla of pity for them.  As they are, I have nothing but contempt.

Wait a minute here...

Didn't the Prop 8 supporters use that same database to find the names of people & companies that donated money to defeat the measure?  And didn't they try to blackmail and extort those donors?  I certainly would presume they're pointing that out in their court briefs....

Note to crybaby Ron Prentice:

If "invisible" people were swooping past and picking away at your rights as a human being, wouldn't YOU want to know who those people were?

That's the thing

These people exhibit a distressing lack of both imagination and empathy. If someone isn't exactly like them, it must be because there is something wrong with them.

Well, of course they think it is wrong!

I mean since in their minds they are the oppressed minority here. I mean christianity is being attacked at every turn, their "civil rights" concerning freedom of religion is being eroded by people telling them that they are preaching hate and creating an atmosphere of violence.

No one is bowing and scraping at their every word, except for the faithful, as it used to happen when they spoke out. I mean there are those in our society who do not accept them as the supreme moral authority, as once occured, in this country.

Pity the poor beleagured christians who are harried at every turn by the godless socialists, and their running dog lackies, the Liberal Media.

(I hope I did not break anyone's sarcasm meter, if so, I apologize.)

But if they get rid of the disclosure laws

how will they know who to extort money from when they run a campaign?

Besides, haven't they been trying to get rid of this law since the seventies?

I am the lizard queen!

Grrrrr

WHINERS!!!!!!!!

I don't mind that people know who and what I support.

Not only that, these guys have No Freaking Idea what it's like to have a "religious organization" on their case. Until they've had the joy of having their home picketed by said "religious organization," then they can just drink a big cup of STFU.

Cry me a fucking river

Hey, WATB, you're the one that made the donation to a cause to take away my rights. You paid for it, now you get to own it.  If you're afraid to publicly admit that you support hate and discrimination, you probably should rethink your position.

To paraphrase a quote from Darrell Hammond's Sean Connery character from SNL's "Celebrity Jeopardy"

"Suck on it, Ron Prentice! Suck it long, and suck it hard!!!"

The Yes on 8 backers are nothing more than a bunch of whinyboxes when they are backed into a corner. Fuck them and fuck the high horses they rode in to town on.

To quote a friend of mine:

"I thought about building you a boat to survive the river of tears I'm crying for you even as I speak, but the world's smallest violins aren't a reliable source of lumber--and that cross you're nailing yourself to seems like it'd be buoyant enough anyway."

Hey all, check out Scott_NC's diary

http://www.pamshouseblend.com/...

Someone put together a google mash (never heard of such a thing myself) which you can search by town, etc for everyone who contributed to passing the bigot Prop 8.

Very interesting to see who lives close to me who voted and contributed money to make me a second class citizen.
