Conservative Group Doctors Photos In Gay Marriage Fight
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/04/042006photos.htm

The gay marriage debate in Minnesota has already seen the release of secret audiotapes, and now some doctored photos are being thrown into the mix.

Minnesotans in Defense of Marriage, a group pushing for a statewide vote on a constitutional amendment to prohibit legal recognition of same-sex relationships, recently started running newspaper ads bashing several DFL state senators who voted against the amendment in committee.

The ads feature obviously doctored photos of senators thumbing their noses at the camera, with accompanying text arguing that's what the senators are doing to voters. Jeff Davis, director of the group, said there was never an intention to present the photos as anything but doctored.

"They're parody ads," Davis said. "We're using parody to make the point that this is what's being done to Minnesota voters."


parody? possibly

stupid and childish-yes

3. Why must we share oxygen with these freaks?
Give them four states and they can form their own country, free of gays and lesbians, non-whites, San Francisco, legalized abortion, music with dirty words, Brokeback Mountain and coffee houses. We'd even be willing to erect a giant wall around their newly formed United Reich.

5. ah yes, "the Lincoln Error"....
accordingly, Lincoln's mistake was to try to fight the civil war... he should have just let the south secede; and when the population became a slave majority and it revolted, admitted them back intothe union in 20 years. No KKK, no reconstruction. Maybe one or two states could've stayed out; but the Renquists, Scalia's, Falwell's and Keyes' would have had a place to live and defend a constitution free of those bothersome amendments about voting and free press.

Then we could admit DC and Puerto Rico or New York City,if they wanted to, to thye union, and we'd still have fifty stars.

whalerider ;)

6. Yeah, they wouldn't even have to worry about illegals (or anyone
else) trying to sneak past their borders.

The wall would be to help them keep their kids in when they got tired of the bullshit and tried to break out.
