Probably not, at least according to some GOP flacks speaking to the New York Times. Republicans said that dwelling on the issue could become a distraction in the effort to win back the House or Senate from Democrats this fall. At a meeting of the Republican National Committee in Kansas City, Mo., several party leaders and strategists said it would …

“Many expect this case ultimately to be decided by the United States Supreme Court. In less than two years — before the 2012 elections — we could be facing a Roe v. Wade-like ruling on marriage from the Supreme Court, striking down the marriage laws of 45 states, forcing same-sex marriage on the entire nation. “I can’t put it more …

NOM is EVER so pissed that people are calling them out for holding anti-gay rallies in which supporters freely wave signs calling for the murder of LGBT people. “The New Hampshire Democratic Party has slurred NOM’s good name and the good people of New Hampshire who rightly believe that marriage is the union of one man and one woman,” said …

Adam Bink writes on NOM Tour Tracker: Notice that Brown refuses to answer virtually all the questions on the grounds that he doesn’t accept the nature of the questions because he if answers it in the hypothetical, it somehow means he accepts the right of same-sex couples to wed. Translation: If Brown affirms what Blankenhorn affirms, it would box him …

“Gay marriage advocates were trying to do an end-run around the normal legal process, and the New Jersey Supreme Court refused to comply. The sense of entitlement among gay marriage advocates is growing so rapidly, it was always absurd to think that the judges would skip the normal steps. Under Governor Christie the state will actually try to defend the …

NOM’s Brian Brown tweets from Providence, Rhode Island: “Is this how a civil rights movement behaves? Gay activists storm our podium to shout us down. Fail.” Yesterday the NOMbies complained that gay activists were bringing their (leashed and elderly) dogs to the rallies as a “bullying tactic” and that they wouldn’t move to unblock the view of a nursing mother. …

NOM has just tweeted the above photo as its Hate Bus arrives in Augusta, Maine for the first stop on its national Hate Tour. Don’t puncture your own tires again, Miss Brown! TAKE ACTION: Freedom To Marry is staging a counter-protest this morning at the Maine State House. Visit their site for information about all the anti-NOM stops on their …

NOM is predictably stamping their cloven hooves about yesterday’s DOMA ruling. “Under the guidance of Elena Kagan’s brief that she filed when she was Solicitor General, Obama’s justice department deliberately sabotaged this case,” charged Brian Brown, President of NOM, referring to the Justice Department’s brief which described DOMA as discriminatory. Despite the explicit language in DOMA that the law was …

“Victory in California! With your help, NOM played a central role in defeating pro-gay marriage GOP Senate candidate Tom Campbell yesterday. Back in March, NOM was the first on the air with TV ads highlighting Tom Campbell’s liberal record on gay marriage and taxes. In May, we came back with a wildly successful automated phone campaign to 600,000 GOP primary …

The National Organization for Marriage announced today that Maggie Gallagher will be stepping down as president. Brian Brown, their executive director, will assume the title. Brian has not only “overseen” — he has instigated and created (under God) NOM’s incredible growth in less than three years: from one donor to 35,000, from no activists to over 500,000, from zero public …

“Yes, it is wrong to post the personal addresses of Members of Congress (or in this case, mistakenly the address of a brother of a Congressman) on the internet to encourage harassment. But how much worse it is to have thousands of ordinary citizens’ home addresses posted on the internet with virtual instructions to go and harass them for donating …

“Maryland’s statutory law clearly states that ‘Only a marriage between a man and a woman is valid’ in Maryland. The Maryland Supreme Court upheld the law and stated clearly it was the province of the legislature to change it. What part of the law doesn’t the Attorney General understand? What other laws is he unwilling to enforce? This is an …

“In a story this Sunday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Prop 8 Judge Vaughn Walker is gay and called his orientation, ‘The biggest open secret in the landmark trial over same-sex marriage.’ We have no idea whether the report is true or not. But we do know one really big important fact about Judge Walker: He’s been an amazingly …

NOM’s Brian Brown has sent out a fundraising letter admitting that he doesn’t expect their side to win the Olson/Boies Prop 8 trial, which is due to start on Monday. Brown: “We do not expect to win at the trial level, but with God’s help, at least five members of the current Supreme Court will have the courage to defend …

From NOM’s site: The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) released the following statement today in response to the D.C. Council’s passage of a same-sex marriage bill: “The people of D.C. have a right, guaranteed by the charter, which is D.C.’s constitution, to vote to protect marriage. Politicians on the city council are acting as if they have the right through …

Maggie Gallagher and Brian Brown are doing cartwheels. “This is a huge win, it puts the nail in the coffin on the idea that gay marriage advocates can persuade a majority of Americans their cause is just,” said Brian Brown, Executive Director of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM). “New York makes it crystal clear: the American people do not …

“This battle is not over. DC politicians are blocking the right of people to vote on marriage. Voters in 31 other states have already exercised their right to vote on this issue. It is ironic that some politicians actively campaign demanding DC voting rights and yet they are conspiring to deny those same citizens the right to vote on the …

The National Organization for Marriage today posted this warning to NY state senators in advance of tomorrow’s possible vote on marriage equality: Following up on its successful campaign to defeat Dede Scozzafava in NY-23, The National Organization for Marriage’s (NOM) Executive Director Brian Brown announced plans to build a $500,000 war chest to fund a primary challenge to any Republican …

Via MetroWeekly’s YouTube channel: Brown argues that heterosexual marriage is a rare ”human good” while gay and lesbian unions are not the same, and that heterosexuals are best for children. Then he insinuates that he and others with such hetero-is-best beliefs are victims of unfair ”bigot’ labeling. Later, after extensive review of his organization’s funding and the questionable behavior of …

Fred Karger of Californians Against Hate, who is being harassed by NOM’s attorneys for demanding their financial records, has issued a challenge for Maggie Gallagher and Brian Brown to be completely truthful about their funding. What’s wrong with these people? Why are they working so hard to harm so many? What is their true motivation? Why do they continue to …
