Quote of the Day
"Apparently, the D.C. Police received a report of a potential bomb threat to the Human Rights Campaign and possibly other groups in DC. We want to be the first to denounce any threat against the person or property of any gay marriage advocate, including HRC. America should not be a place where people are afraid to voice their views on marriage whether pro or con."
-- From the National Organization for Marriage's blog shortly after a bomb threat against a "national gay organization" forced several DC orgs to evacuate their offices. Notice how the statement is both classy -and- tacitly continues their meme that we're a violent community that regularly threatens Christians.
