thanks for putting up the picture of the scary queer flyer. I was able to get Craig two more votes from it. These two people were not planning to vote cause they didnt think it was that important. But they got all riled up and now they are on their way to their polling places.
Plus, the New York Blade is pretty riled up as well.
Gay Bashing for Votes
Nassau Co. Mailer Warns: A Vote for Dem. Candidate is a Vote for Gay Marriage
But David Verchere, president of the Log Cabin Republicans-which has backed the O'Connell campaign with volunteers and a pledge of $8,000-called the mailer both "mean" and "dumb."
"These tactics are beneath the dignity of the Conservative Party of New York," Verchere said. "They remind us of people like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson who use anti-gay rhetoric to preach hatred and intolerance." He added that the mailing was not indicative of O'Connell's "strong record" on equal rights for all New Yorkers, nor did it reflect the "mainstream values" of the people of Nassau County.
Hear hear. |
