New National Organization for Marriage ad targets Campbell, Boxer over Prop 8

lgbt, politics, video No Comments »

In an obvious nod to U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, the National Organization for Marriage has released a new ad attacking her Republican opponent Tom Campbell and incumbent Democrat Barabara Boxer. The ad attacks Campbell and Boxer for being too liberal and for being against Prop 8. Watch:

Fiorina voted in favor of Proposition 8 in 2008. When she announced her bid for Boxer’s seat last November, Fiorina reiterated her stance against gay marriage saying she “believes in the sanctity of a marriage between a man and a woman.” Fiorina has been relatively quiet on the issue since.

Another embarrassing ad has come out of NOM’s video dungeon this week fighting gay marriage legislation in New York, leveraging the same old and entirely debunked arguments. As for the teachable moment, note the word “marriage” in the final frame of the video below.

With an ad this important to their cause you would think they’d fix it… right? Teachable moment #2.

As in “Same Same Sex Marriage?” And just so we’re clear…

I don’t think the teachable moment here is gay marriage. I think it’s spelling and grammar.

Carrie PrejeanThe National Organization for Marriage just issued a press release clarifying their relationship with Carrie Prejean.

“A number of media sources have described Carrie Prejean as a spokesperson for the National Organization for Marriage.

As we made clear at our press conference yesterday: Carrie appeared with NOM as a private citizen; she does not work for the National Organization for Marriage. She is a spokesperson for her own views, as anyone watching her can tell.

We are grateful to Carrie Prejean for her willingness to stand up for marriage. We would love to work with Carrie in the future if she chooses, and we wish her well in all her future endeavors whatever she chooses. We’re proud of her. Americans are proud of her. She is a remarkable young woman. Thank you, Carrie. “

That was a short ride on the publicity train. It seemed like a perfect match. Was it the fake boobs? Or can they nolonger afford her?
