Exactly.

I suppose some folks like to point to such behavior as some sort of vindication; i.e., hard evidence that Satan is on the other team. That is neither fair nor accurate.

Same-sex marriage advocates say they have called for a peaceful and civil campaign.

"The No on Prop. 8 campaign denounces any sort of vandalism whatsoever," said Bill Bradley, a campaign spokesman. "It's wrong to deface property and does not reflect the spirit or values of this campaign."

Andrea Shorter, a campaign spokeswoman, added, "That is not going to get us any closer to marriage equality.

"We understand that people are upset and angry and frustrated, but we call upon everyone to express their frustration through the correct processes."

You're alright with the nastiness from the other side I suppose because the church "brought it on themselves" right? or are you going to condemn the "bigots" from the other side as well?

This is ANOTHER chance for you to show your consistency......

No, that's not what I am saying.

This is ANOTHER chance for you to show your cluelessness.....

By all means then.....you've had many chances to condemn the mean spirited and bile coming from those against Prop 8....but I've yet to see it.

And yes I know what you've been saying....I'm simply calling you out on something else.....so take a hint and at least try to be objective...lately it hasn't been your strong suit.

I certainly haven't seen any of the No on Prop 8'ers condemning them like they have the Pro Prop 8'ers.

Still waiting too....

And no I don't have a problem with people protesting...it's their right to peaceably assemble...and that's not what I'm talking about.

What you're seeing on tv is the "we're here, we're queer, get used to it" crowd. They have a long history of setting back their own movement. Of course it's despicable and hypocritical what they did in L.A., I would think it was self-evident.

You see Einstein, if I were to respond to your little challenge, it would be an admission that your analysis of the situation is correct. Which it isn't. It would also be an admission that I give a rat's ass what you think. Which I don't.

Capiche?

For future reference: It's spelled capische.

Just trying to help.
