In reaction to today's news, I
have received a press release from the National
Organization for Marriage:
Today, Maggie Gallagher, President of the National Organization
for Marriage, released the following statement regarding Carrie
Prejean:
"Because Carrie honestly said what she believed in answer to a
question--marriage is the union of a man and a woman-- she is now
the subject of ongoing character assassination. The level of
hatred directed at her is astonishing. Even more astonishing
is her personal courage and strength of character in the
midst of these attacks. Of course Carrie is not perfect. On
a personal note, as a former unwed mother, I want to say to
Americans: you don't have to be a perfect person to have the
right to stand up for marriage. Nothing gay marriage advocates
can do can change the fact-we all saw it on national TV-that
Carrie is a young woman who surrendered all the glitter Hollywood
has to offer, because she would not become the kind of person
afraid to say the truth.
Through Carrie, we are also learning, the lengths some people
will go to hurt and harass those who speak up for marriage."
Any time a liberal starts jumping up and down and yelling about a
"scandal" affecting a conservative, remember this reply:
"Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment."
