Man, Fred Karger is a horrible spokesman, he let that Fox news man run all over for him and rolled over and looked awful. He should have turned the tables and asked the same question back. How about the manager of El Coyote ruining the lives of gay families. Attemptin to rip apart the marriage of Del Martin and Phylis Lions who were together for 50 years before being the first gay couple to legally wed in California. Atleast they did that before one of them passed away this summer, are they going to dig up her corpse to remove the wedding ring, or send this poor old widow a letter saying, your marriage has been voided. That is Hate.
And when you try to deny people their rights, the word Hate aptly applies.
He should say, yes, yes, we are trying to ruin them, it’s self defense, they are tearing apart our lives. And it’s not really about ruinging anyone, when it all comes down to it, it’s about not having the money we spend at businesses used against us. We will avoid these places and spend our money elsewhere. Fred Karger, you need to grow a pair and be more prepared when you go on these interviews.

What a terrible spokesperson. With friends like that, we wont be able to get our message through. If you can’t be a fighter and don’t get pushed around especially when you have accepted an invitation to a TV Network that it is clearly against us, then stay home and send your grandmother out.

[...] It’s a lot of work, but if all our organizations and volunteers get behind “Milk the Vote,” or whatever the name is, we can make up the 599,602 votes that we lost by and win next year’s election to repeal Prop 8. Let’s make sure that California once again leads the way on equality. [...]
