Brian Brown today continued his campaign of accusations against the Human Rights Campaign, claiming that outgoing executive director and Obama campaign co-chair Joe Solomonese is party to the “felony” of publishing a “confidential” tax return. Brown claims that NOM’s lawyers contacted the HRC yesterday, resulting in the tax forms being “quietly removed” from HRC’s site. “They now realize that they …

“The American people are entitled to know how a confidential tax return containing private donor information filed exclusively with the Internal Revenue Service has been given to our political opponents whose leader also happens to be co-chairing President Obama’s reelection committee. It is shocking that a political ally of President Obama’s would come to possess and then publicly release a …

UPDATE: It’s all a SPECTACULAR hack. NOM’s entire blog is suddenly “down for maintenance.” ::Mutley laugh:: If this really is a hack of NOM’s social media, it has now expanded from Twitter and Facebook to their own website. Friends of marriage, In the last couple of weeks you’ve heard some pretty bad things about this organization. I must admit that …

“NOM did not create the divide between blacks and homosexual marriage advocates, and standing for marriage is not standing for division or discrimination. Nor is it patronizing for media leaders to treat the heroic stand of the black church against homosexual marriage as a product of hateful politics. Reaching out to blacks and Hispanics who share our view is something …

“Gay marriage activists are on the attack like never before. And it’s getting personal. They are targeting NOM and have pulled out the race card in a desperate attempt to shut us down in this critical election year. Why? Because they know that our coalition is strong and growing, and NOM has become the single biggest obstacle in their campaign …

NOM president Brian Brownshirt is demanding a federal investigation of the Human Rights Campaign for what he claims is the theft of the hate group’s 2008 tax return. Last week the publication posted a copy of NOM’s federal tax return for 2008 (Form 990—Schedule B) listing its major donors, which is a confidential document filed only with the IRS. The …

“Let me be the first to say that the tone of the language in that document as quoted by the press is inapt. Here’s something I know from the bottom of my soul: It would be enormously arrogant for anyone at NOM to believe that we can make or provoke African-American or Latino leaders do anything. The Black and Hispanic …

“The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) was formed in 2007 and has worked extensively with supporters of traditional marriage from every color, creed and background. We have worked with prominent African-American and Hispanic leaders, including Dr. Aveeda King, Bishop George McKinney of the COGIC Church, Bishop Harry Jackson and the New York State Senator Reverend Rubén Díaz Sr., all of …

“NOM’s wedge-strategy memos detail its campaign to funnel money to a handful of African-American clergy in order to attack gay couples and, appallingly, discredit the strong and clear voice of those African-American civil rights champions, such as John Lewis, Julian Bond, and Coretta Scott King, who have stood up for the freedom to marry and the equal civil rights of …

New Hampshire marriage equality advocate Craig Stowell is the straight brother of longtime JMG participant Calvin Stowell, who tweeted us a heads-up to today’s MSNBC appearance. Ever the king of hypocrisy, Brian Brown denounces “out of state influence groups” for interfering with New Hampshire marriage.

“It’s crunch time. We view it as a massive opportunity for a national referendum. It’s going to be a big challenge, but I think we’re up to it. All we need is enough to get our message out. The other side is going to scream, but this is no time for retreat. Whatever we do, we’ve gotten to a point …

“Maryland voters, not politicians, have the final say on marriage. The Maryland same-sex marriage legislation is a meaningless, symbolic act. The people of Maryland, not politicians, will have the final say on marriage. And they will overturn this act of the General Assembly.” – NOM president Brian Brownshirt on yesterday’s signing of Maryland’s marriage equality bill.

“The gay legal establishment is desperately trying to keep the Supreme Court from reviewing their work. Why? Because they don’t really think they can win. There is no federal Constitutional right to gay marriage. Gay people in the United States are hardly a powerless minority in need of the extraordinary special protections the Court developed, under the authority of the …

“Democrats in the New Jersey Assembly today walked off a cliff when they decided to redefine marriage to accommodate the political demands of same-sex couples. They have ensured themselves of the united opposition of people of faith when they next face voters. We are grateful to have a principled Governor in Chris Christie who has pledged to veto this legislation. …

“You may have heard that Governor Christine Gregoire has just signed legislation purporting to make Washington state the seventh state to redefine marriage to accommodate the demands of gay marriage activists. What you may not have heard is that this is by no means a settled issue. NOM is joining with the Family Policy Institute of Washington, Stand for Marriage …

Did you know that the Ninth Circuit Court declared marriage itself to be unconstitutional? According to NOM, it did. Brown Brownshirt: I don’t know about you but my blood is boiling! Not only must our founding fathers be rolling over in their graves with the preposterous notion that marriage is unconstitutional, but the ruling is an affront to the millions …

Enjoy! “As sweeping and wrong-headed as this decision is, it nonetheless was as predictable as the outcome of a Harlem Globetrotters exhibition game,” said Brian Brown, NOM’s president. “We have anticipated this outcome since the moment San Francisco Judge Vaughn Walker’s first hearing in the case. Now we have the field cleared to take this issue to the US Supreme …

Yesterday morning Freedom To Marry’s Evan Wolfson wiped the floor with NOM president Brian Brownshirt during an appearance on a local NYC politics show. I caught this live and was happily tweeting my glee at Wolfson’s performance. (Via – Good As You)
