Michelle Malkin goes after Obama being silent about the violence and vandalism happening across the country in reaction to the passage of Prop 8 (more after the jump)
Across the country, there are broken souls in need of fixing. They are the opponents of Proposition 8, California’s traditional marriage initiative, which passed 52-48 (the same margin you won by, Lightworker).
Perhaps you would care to weigh in and work your healing magic on the anti-Prop. 8 rabble-rousers who continue to wreak havoc on Mormon churches in several cities and states and blacklisting peaceful voters who supported the ballot measure.
It is getting very ugly out there and no one in the Democratic leadership has stepped up to condemn the insane rage, to borrow a phrase.
[From Michelle Malkin » Who will quell the anti-Prop. 8 rage?]
Gaypatriot joins in calling for someone to “quell the hate” and adding his on the scene observations.
I just returned from running an errand where I caught sight of a flyer urging people to join a “No on Prop 8 Protest” to “Fight the H8.” Are these people so inured to the mantra of gay activists that all those who don’t support their goals do so because they hate gay people that they can’t see the hatred within their own ranks?
To be sure, many of those rallying have avoided angry rhetoric and are only (primarily?) expressing their frustration at the outcome of last week’s vote. Yet, the rhetoric (and the signs) of a large number of the participants shows them to be expressing the same sort of hatred they supposedly decry.
They have become the haters. Such individuals aren’t the leaders we need to promote real and lasting social change.
[From GayPatriot]
I don’t really want the same social change as Mr. GayPatriot but I like that he takes gay activist leadership to task.
I also left this comment on Michelle’s blog.
As someone who has lived both sides of the fence on this one … I understand the anger and pain these folks are feeling.
At the same time, the community I was a part of … way back in the day … wouldn’t act like this. We wouldn’t make the foolish mistake of equating this with the civil rights movement.
Today my primary identity is as a Christian so it is very difficult to watch a community I was a part of and the community I now belong to at “war” with each other. I understand it, fully support marriage and actively work to preserve it … that said. The people in the streets aren’t idiots. I believe they have been lied to and manipulated by the far left.
Tammy Bruce (a conservative woman who has embraced a lesbian identity) makes the case that the far left has co-opted gay activism in her book “The New Thought Police.” That is but one of many topics she covers but … she covers it well.
