Are you proud of yourselves, anti-Prop. 8 mob?
I’ve blogged several times about how the anti-Prop. 8 mob hounded the El Coyote restaurant in Los Angeles over the $100 donation of its longtime manager, who happens to be a practicing Mormon.
Now, read this — a closer look at how the mob ruined the manager’s life:
A life thrown into turmoil by $100 donation for Prop. 8
Pat yourselves on the back, tolerance bullies.

It would not surprise me to find out that the torching of Palin’s church had to do with Prop 8 too. Remember the MSM made a big deal about her Pastor and her speaking out against gay marriage.
This just makes me want to donate next time they vote on this. Sore Losers, and it’s even better knowing how big a failure their “Call in Gay Day” was.
Gay brownshirts…..
Sad thing is, they probably are patting themselves on their backs.
But we don’t want a burrito filled with hate, do we?
From the article. Funny how *we’re* the hypocrites for doing exactly what the Bible tells us (when properly interpreted and read…i.e., when not read or interpreted by liberals), but the people who want tolerance and diversity treat us like crap.
Hateful Gay bigots.
Yeah.. tolerance my ass. This woman expresses her political opinion through a donation and the Gay Mob attacks her and her employer.
The people that are attacking her are a disgrace to the human race.
But the hate adds such a spicy flavor!!!
We’ve got Eco-Terroists…
What’s the best moniker for these terrorists? Any suggestions?
Doesn’t the article’s accompanying picture just speak love and tolerance? I can’t believe the LA Times actually ran this article (yet the writer can’t completely focus on this poor woman but HAS TO jab Christians and Mormons somewhere, stil…).
Al-Gayda
We’ve been using al-Gayda around here… I can’t remember who came up with it, but it stuck.
Nothing hypocritical about selectively targeting Mormons. I seem to recall that Prop 8 had many supporters, hailing from all walks of life. Notwithstanding – Muslims whose support of this initiative hasn’t brought out the likes of Steve Lopez to denounce them publicly… cowards. The lot of them.
I thought Al Gayda was already chosen.
Big Ange came up with it.
Got to type faster.
Thanks… Such brilliance should be appropriately recognized.
Right on. The MSM – until they start to behave like the “Real” 4-th estate things like this will go on. (At least Iraqi-press had the decency to apologize to W – US press would never do that.)
The left has no real conscience to feel bad about anything. It’s easy when you ditch right and wrong and use ideology instead. It’s easy when you dehumanize your target and use the excuse that they are haters to project your hate unto them.
I vote with my feet when I am annoyed by the overt poltical expression of an artist or business owner. It is every person’s right to do so. But loud angry mobs over a personal donation of $100? That’s intimidation.
How many African-American and Latino -owned businesses and churches have been the target of protests? Apparently Proposition 8 was overwhelmingly opposed by the black community, and by the majority of Latinos, all of whom strangely have not been received the “attention” of the Pro 8 crowd. Curious. It must simply be an oversight, since the gay community so ardently promotes “diversity”. I guess the rainbow is missing a few “colors” when it’s pitchfork and torch time.
Of course they are proud, the hate anyone who disagrees with them. They are totalitarians, just ones who engage in buggery, unlike Stalin, but Stalinesque the same.
Pretty soon, they will want permission to try and recruit straights to the gay lifestyle and if you refuse, you are a bigot. They will want Federal funding to set up recruiting stations, demanding equal space such as the military has. They are destroying any credibility they had for their “cause”. People are so fed up now, the gays are going to start feeling a backlash and their cause will be set back for years. It is that old saying, “give them an inch and they’ll take a mile”. I always felt we should have tolerance and they should have the ability to live their lives as they choose. But now, I feel like I want them to go back into that closet and STAY there! Yeah, they are definitely not helping themselves.
Disgusting that these hypocrites consider themselves martyrs when they are not the ones paying the price for sticking to their personal beliefs.
Personally I prefer The Gaystapo, coined by Mike Adams.
The article came up with a great idea though. Why don’t we who support traditional marriage boycott Apple? If we start hitting the left in their wallets, they may wake up. Worked with Ford.
Heterophobia? Discrimination? Intolerance? Envy? Coveting? Hatred? Jealousy? Injustice?
The gay crowd and their supporters are nothing, if not emotional. Yet…these people want us to act, live, and think rationally in the face of this vitriole?
I think they’re on to something here! What would I do, and how would I act if I wanted to get people to like me, or take my side of an argument? Yeah, that’s the ticket!
Yep, they’re changing MY mind alright!
Additionally, I’d suggest that the owners close on Thursdays. The gay clients that normally frequent the restuarant on that particular day can get their cheap eats somewhere else. It would also be nice to see a more visible and audible presence of the gays who find those whose protests border on riots detrimental to the gay push for societal inclusiveness.
The nazi brownshirts where also proud of themselves as they drove out those hate filled intolerant jews.
My husband’s nephew is gay, and he is angry and embarrassed by this. He lives his life quietly and honestly, and feels like these extremists are destroying all the good will the rest of them have worked so hard to get. Just remember, these wackos do not represent the majority of gays, they are just the most visible.

Here, here. To compare rioting, extortion, and harassment to people choosing not to listen to the Dixie Chicks is ludicrious.
Personally I think the protesters should be identified and then have their lives ripped apart and torn inside out. Protests outside of their work place, death threats in their mail, shouting mobs outside their house.
All we have to do is post their pictures on the internet with the caption “Supports Japanese Whaling Fleets” (or something as equally heinous to the left)
It’s going to be unGodly ugly.
Gay terrorists…maybe butt pirates???
/sarc
I’m so tired of hearing the mantra of “tolerance for me, but not for thee” from all of these extreme “special interests” groups – as far as I’m concerned, they’re hypocrites for their stand. If they truly believed in “tolerance”, they would not resort to harassment or violence when they don’t get their way.
These people are effed up. This is the America our troops are fighting for?
Typical hypocrisy. They want tolerance, yet they’re unwilling to have any towards those that oppose their views.
Back when I was in high school and studying vocabulary words that I usually forgot within an hour of taking the test in English, there was one phrase that I learned that has remained with me through the years.
Quote from Wikipedia:
A Pyrrhic victory (IPA: /ˈpɪrɪk/) is a victory with devastating cost to the victor.
The phrase is named after King Pyrrhus of Epirus, whose army suffered irreplaceable casualties in defeating the Romans at Heraclea in 280 BC and Asculum in 279 BC during the Pyrrhic War. After the latter battle, Plutarch relates in a report by Dionysius:
The armies separated; and, it is said, Pyrrhus replied to one that gave him joy of his victory that one more such victory would utterly undo him. For he had lost a great part of the forces he brought with him, and almost all his particular friends and principal commanders; there were no others there to make recruits, and he found the confederates in Italy backward. On the other hand, as from a fountain continually flowing out of the city, the Roman camp was quickly and plentifully filled up with fresh men, not at all abating in courage for the loss they sustained, but even from their very anger gaining new force and resolution to go on with the war.[1]
In both of Pyrrhus’s victories, the Romans lost more men than Pyrrhus did. However, the Romans had a much larger supply of men from which to draw soldiers, so their losses did less damage to their war effort than Pyrrhus’s losses did to his.
I can’t help but think that this whole episode has been a Phyrric victory for the same sex marriage movement.
Gayness per-se is a non-issue (as long as it stays private); however, these birth defects are an abomination.
Since they seem to love having things crammed up their posteriors, they should be obliged. All that need be done is change the instrument to a telephone pole (with splinters, no vaseline).
Short of that, anyone able needs to patronize this restaurant as often as possible!!!

Sounds like Americans who are gay are revealing that they do not deserve any consideration, sympathy, or support. In fact, they are giving average Americans a real reason to dislike them – by invading our right to political privacy. The invasion of the voting booth is a privacy issue that will not be tolerated and gays can expect consequences for harming voters and behaving like members of the KKK. I have zero tolerance for anyone who: (1) is rude to me; (2) violates my legal rights; (3) violates my privacy; (4) threatens me with violence. This also applies to any harm to my family.
I hope these victims of gay hate will file complaints with the appropriate legal authorities as it seems their voting rights are being attacked. For the rest of us, we can start with boycotting those companies and agencies that donated $$$ for the anti prop 8, and to oppose gay political issues and politicians. It won’t take long for the message to sink in.
The more I see this behavior by the forced views liberals, the more I realize that voting against their agenda is the right thing to do.
I almost wish I lived in California, so I could proudly display how I would have voted against the abomination of gay marriage.
It’s only harrasment when an abortion clinic is being peacefully picketed. Move along, nothing to see here.
Many of the help, who are gay are about to be laid off. How does this help them?
The Neo-Bigots are out in force.
Where this is all headed:
There is an article on SFGate about Emirates Airlines flying into San Francisco. Here’s the link.
“A couple of quotes from the article:
“We don’t like it – it’s awful, but we have no jurisdiction outside the U.S.,” Brinkin said.
“And while he’s not happy about it, Ammiano says, the “Muslim world won’t change overnight.”
I expect any day now SF Mayor Newsome and a gay rights delegation will be heading over to Saudi Arabia to have a talk with the Imams about their views on homosexuality.
One of these idiots was trying to attack me for interfering in california politics when I am from Utah. What he doesn’t understand is that this will not stop until it is forced onto every state in the union. Every single one.The peoples will be damned. We must change everything to suit every single political entity EXCEPT conservatives. They can go to hell.
Totally OT
Did Trib blow Fitzgerald’s Blags/Illinois corruption investigation to save a favorite son?
http://patterico.com/2008/12/15/wsj-chicago-tribune-may-have-blown-fitzs-chance-to-capture-the-sale-of-obamas-seat-on-tape/
I was thinking Fitz ended it early, to save Obama or his close associates bacon, but now I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Trib didn’t blow this on purpose to keep someone they like, maybe Jesse Jackson Junior, or maybe one of Obama’s associates, from being nailed.
Prop 8 gays have sent white powder
to Mormon Temples as well. I haven’t
seen that in the media at all, perhaps
missed it……
net helpmsg 4006
It was on the news here. But I bet you didn’t hear about the white powder sent to the utah governor.
he he he
If they got their hands on a dirty bomb would they use it? sadly not so far fetched.
That doesn’t mean they won’t eventually get around to trying to PC-ify them into approving.
Or maybe they’re still hoping the radical Islamists will off the Christians and give liberals a pass for being allies.
Or maybe they know that many in the Muslim world think it’s okay to kill gay men and women…but it’s easier to bully and harrass Christians and Mormons.
Son, I did not hear that from my friend.
Her Temple had gotten powder as well as assorted death threats and had to close for a few days, she said Salt Lake
had gotten powder as well.
Thank God Son it was not the real thing.
They are more likely to get a 777 right in the kisser.
Its actualy happened to a few local governors, it has only ever been on the local news. I wonder why.
English,
“but it’s easier to bully and harrass Christians and Mormons.”
they cherrypick the Bible at their own risk, perhaps they need to read the Good Book
what will response be?
oh CRAPPPP RUN for your life “girls”
Pinkshirts.
Son,
doesn’t fit the storyline. Just like Palin’s Church didn’t.
I find pleasure in seeing the vast majority of employees there are gay and will lose their job due to their own protest!
dogs don’t…..
True.

You can bet that Brinkin — enforcement chief of the “Human Rights Commission” — and Ammiano — a former schoolteacher, stand-up comedian, school board member, and city supervisor, and was just elected to the State Assembly — did the best they could to keep Emirates from coming into S.F.
Years ago, it was Ammiano and former supervisor Mark Leno (also gay, no relation to Jay) who pioneered using financial association with the city of San Francisco as a lever to demand domestic partner benefits. Their biggest coup was threatening to hold up renewal of United Airlines’ lease at SFO if they didn’t change their benefits policies worldwide. In 1999, after fighting S.F. in court for the better part of two years, United — based in Chicago — folded like a tent and settled after an appeals court said a municipality had the right to step in where corporations were regulated federally. United announced its revised rules (affecting all 97,000 employees worldwide) like it had come up with the idea on its own.
Leno, at a celebration of the victory, said to a crowd: “We have changed the world. We have done no less than that.”
The Leather and Lace crowd with their S&M masters can be some nasty people. Paul warned them and us of their perversions. These people HAVE TO DAMN CHRISTIANITY, the family and anything decent to justify their life styles.
There will no reasoning or accommodating them short of total submission. There are more like the jihadist then may wish to think they are. Damn them to Hell, the only answer it NO. But then they have created their own Metropolitan Church to lead them to perdition. They not only mock Jesus Christ but also the Holy Ghost.
But this has always been since the Fall.
Steve Lopez of the LA Times is a condescending bigot who is mocking this poor woman (blubbering in a corner) despite his seeming disapproval of the boycott. But he’s all about bashing anybody who believes in the Bible, mind you. I think the woman’s husband is on to something. Maybe those who disagree with the treatment of Prop 8 supporters should boycott Apple.
What does this have to do with S&M? Not all gays are into S&M and not all people who are into S&M are gay. Can we at least keep the ire focused on where it belongs?
No, your not hypocrites. You’re just a little inconsiderate for thinking other people should have to live according to your religious beliefs. In the United States, we have separation of church and state for a reason. Not everybody does what a book tells them.
People just want their families to have the same legal protections as everyone else. That is all.
Funny, I am looking in my handy pocket sized copy of the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution, and I can’t find any mention of “seperation of church and state”.
It could also be said that homosexuals are inconsiderate for thinking that roughly 5% of the population should get to dictate to the other 95% what is “normal” and “acceptable”.
Was it floral scented?
Trouble is huggybear they insist WE not follow our Christian beliefs either. You may not think so, they may not think so, but they do demand we abandon our beliefs.
And ok twofoot I’ll allow your knowledge of the alternative lifestyle is greater than mine.
BS. In California they have a domestic partner law that gives them the exact same legal rights.
It is not all.
Civil ceremonies give them that protection. Why do they want to sabbotage the marriage sacrament? This is a big issue with the Christians, and the gays are making a big deal out of it because they do not respect the sanctity of Christian beliefs. So I think the inconsiderate lable applies to them!
Funny how that idiom – which does not appear anywhere in the Constitution – is always used when religious people – gasp! – express their faith publicly. But it’s never used when “tolerant” groups use the government, through the courts, to dictate policy to churches.
Prop. 8 was a legal, democratic vote. In a just and democratic society. DEAL. WITH. IT. It’s not our fault that many Americans oppose gay marriage, or that many have religious beliefs.
The alternative – bigoted rioting and harrassment of non-PC thinkers – is unappealing. Wonder who’s to blame for that…?
Gays have exactly the same right to get married as straights do. Everyone can marry someone of the opposite sex. Gays want different rights; they want marriage to be changed to accommodate their preferences. That isn’t wanting “the same legal protections as everyone else.”
You mean the exact same powder that was sent to the governors of Alaska, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Vermont, etc? The powder that was sent to the governors of 30 states?
I don’t know about a moniker for this crowd, but their attitude and antics make me think of the title of a book/article that is itself a take off on Jonathan Edwards’ famous sermon–”Sinners in the hands of an angry God.”
The title turns Edwards’ sermon idea on its head and so becomes “God in the hands of angry sinners.”

There just comes a time when you have to tell someone or ones to take a flying leap.
Laree, Blago does have a bit of a k.d. Lang vibe going there, doesn’t he?
Yes mookie, that powder. You would think that would be in the news…
You’re just a little inconsiderate for thinking other people should have to live according to your non-religious beliefs.
The lesson learned by this is to never give an inch to special interest groups like these despicable gay interest loons. All that does is to give them reason to make more demands of freedom loving Americans.
I used to be respectful of gays. Not going to happen from now on though!
These people are only protesting small and helpless donors. As the article shows, $100,000 were donated by Apple Computers. No protests against Apple so far – simply because it would be useless. No people to ruin. Also there are no protests against the so called black churches or against any Muslim clerics, who also advocated Prop8.
This is just bullying. Pure and simple.
If this continues, the anti-Prop 8 idiocy will do for gays what 9-11 did for muslims.
What??? You make no sense. This is the United States. Church, state, separate. End of story. Now please explain how gay people getting married affects you personally.
I will believe Prop 8 is about the sanctity of marriage and not about bigotry when someone spearheads a constitutional ammendment to ban divorce.
For some reason, none of you people seem to understand that bigotry is no longer acceptable in America.
All that bigotry your parents taught you is wrong – You people are not the victims.
happyscrapper said: (#68)
They seem not to respect the sanctity of Christian marriage (actually, marriage in any religion), but do understand the importance of it without understanding it. Thus, they either want what marriage represents or will destroy it–they may not care which.
It has been, especially in the major newspapers.
Why would gays protest Apple? They donated against Prop. 8.
To “improve the lives of gay people” they’re destroying the jobs of gay people?
Does this make sense to anyone?
That’s why marriage needs to be redefined in terms of livestock. That small minority out there needs their – uh – “rights” protected…
Can you point out that “seperation” thing in the Constitution?
Also, can you explain how society does not have an interest in who is raising children?
Then, if you would be so kind, can you explain how, considering California already has a law that protects gays and lesbians in a civil union, that this whole thing is not about forcing the religous to accept what their faith tells them is a sin?
Your religious bigotry included. I wouldn’t discuss parental guidance if I were as misguided as you seem to be.
You are not the victim, either.
Tell that to pretty much 95% of the liberals here and elsewhere who have no problems with biogtry when it’s directed at Christians and Mormons and conservatives.
Also, get a better dictionary. “Bigotry” does not mean disagreeing with someone and you are not the victim of bigotry if you don’t like someone else’s views and are “offended”…
Sorry, but I – and every Christian and Mormon in this nation – have a First Amendment right to free expression of religion.
Now, I know to liberals, that “free expression” does not apply to any public place, school, university, government building, home, blog, newspaper, radio station, or pretty much anywhere outside the respective heads and hearts of Christians because you think the First Amendment provides a “separation of church and state” (it doesn’t). When folks like Prop. 8 protesters try to usurp that right so they feel good or think they’ve achieved “equality”…yeah, we’re the victims. Our ACTUAL rights are being violated.
My parents taught me to respect the authority of God before Caesar. And, likewise, my parents taught me there was behavior that is – and always will be – unnacceptable. I will never compromise my religious convictions in the name of political correctness.
huggybear said (#80)
That is not what the Constitution says, it says:
Which means there will be no official Church of the United States, nor will any church be prohibited. It does not say that the moral teachings of religions will be banned because of their source.
I have forgotten the exact quote, but the Founding Fathers believed that the Constitution would only function for a moral (they didn’t say Christian) people.
So the 1smt amendment means nothing to you?
Let me guess, you get to decide what is “acceptable” speech?
It is not bigotry. It is discrimination.
While it is unacceptable to be bigotted, in certain contexts it is perfectly to be acceptable to discriminate. You do have the right to discriminate based on CONDUCT.
Smokers are routinely discriminated against. It is the conduct, not the person that is dicriminated against. I have the right to discriminate against people whose conduct I find morally objectionable. Gays and I both have the right to disagree with one another. However, they do not have the right to surpress my right of free expression.
You need to understand that freedom of expression is still allowed in this country. Disputes are resolved or mutual understanding is reached through civil debate; not by calling another person bigotted or attempting to shout them down.
I don’t imagine the Prop 8 mobsters got their penchant for bullying, extortion, and vandalism from their parents, but I could be wrong. After all, the stoned hippies of the 60’s and 70’s did manage to procreate, and I don’t think the vagabond left them when they had to raise children.
Although I wonder why you incessantly speak of victims. Is being a victim a good thing? I was always taught that being a victim was bad. Seeking it then, would be especially stupid.
The victims here are the people extorted by the Prop 8 mob, and unlike gay activists, they don’t relish in their victimhood. They’d rather not be martyrs for a cause.
This is what the First Amendment says:
That’s it. You cannot read or imply more to it than what’s written there. And what’s written there is pretty explicit:
There are no exceptions to that rule. The government cannot do anything to prohibit the free exercise of religion. The ONLY thing the First Amendment does is prohibit the government from establishing a singular church and requiring all to support or condone it.
Let’s see – when I’m called a ‘bigot’ and ‘homophobe’ for voting my beliefs, that personally affects me. When my faith and my church is attacked, and when the faith and churches of my brothers and sisters in Christ and God are attacked, that personally affects me.
When I see that Catholic Charities in MA, or a Christian photog in NM, can be forced by the government to condone homosexuality, it affects me. When I see – in Canada – I could be hauled before a “Human Rights Commission” for crimes of ungoodthink, that affects me.
When my children could be exposed to lessons in sexuality that I find objectionable, that personally affects me (especially if, like in Canada, removing my kids from the classroom over those objections is a HATE CRIME).
When a structure of society – the traditional nuclear family – which exists in many cultures and nations, including those uninfluenced by the Bible and Christianity, is threatened and mocked and degraded, it affects me personally.
When someone – like a commenter here did – threatens to take my children from me and “make” them politically correct, it affects me personally.
Shall I continue? Or do you get the point…?
I would just like to ask our resident liberals if they think churchs have any right to express thier views.
