1. They did not "go after" Cheney's daughter.
2. Mentioning that someone is gay is not an attack.
3. The fundies are idiots. Any attempt to placate them is idiotic.
NO great love for fundies on a personal level, but even Obama has to pretend he believes in Talking Snakes.
There was no reason for them to bring it up at all. It wasn't relevent to anything.
It was in the debate they were having...haven't you even seen it?
Kerry answering a question:
With Respect to Mary Cheney
More on it:
Cheney's Daughter A Flash Point - CBS News
Edwards debate:
Edwards defends choice to mention Cheney's gay daughter in debate
(note...the Freeper comments are hysterical)
So...Kerry brought it up when asked about gays...and Edwards brought it up when asked about equality for all.
Sorry, I don't see "Nyah, nyah, you're daughter's gay" as really being germaine to whether we should redefine marriage...
I have a lot of gay friends, and I had an aunt who was gay. I'm still reluctant to redefine marriage until we have a concensus that we need to do so. I'm certainly concerned about the courts taking it upon themselves to set aside the will of the people after the people have made their intents pretty clear.
