PageOneQ | Anti-gay blackmailers demand protection money from gay marriage supporters

The right bitches about the equal time demanding by the left on the radio, but the left should be up in arms about this. Lawyers should be sent immediately to California and everyone involved with the creation, authorization, and mailing of this sickening letter should be sent to jail for blackmail.

Excuse me!!! This is from the people who have repeatedly used the EXACT SAME TACTICS??? How many time have you heard about the homosexual left calling for boycotts of businesses? It's the same thing, using your positiont opush people around. But when it's used against you, all of a sudden it's "Call the ACLU!!!" "My rights are being violated!!!!" "Somebody get me a journalist!!!!!"

They didn't blackmail anyone! This is a violation of the LAW! Demanding money to prevent negative advertising... It's pure Mafia.

If the firms are so solidly committed to the cause they are supporting, why should they have an issue with having thier names publicized? Shouldn't people know what the businesses they support are supporting? Would you want to know if the law firm that handles your business arrangements supported an anti-homosexual org.? Of course you would and you'd scream bloody murder if anyone tried to stop you from knowing about it. But, God forbid that the tables be turned and those who oppose a pro-homosexual cause do the same thing. You need to accept that you're a hypocrite in this...

If there were progay groups that were BLACKMAILING people I would want them arrested too, but that's simply not the case. This letter demands financial support FOR PROP 8 or the name will be published. That is blackmail. Publishing the names of supporters simply for informational purposes is not a problem. Publishing the name of supporters if you're not properly paid off is blackmail and thus illegal and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

They don't.
Do you have any info on a firm which does have problem with their name publicized?

And this question is irrelevant to the issue of blackmail.
Just cause the person being blackmailed may not care if the information gets out does not excuse the illegality of the attempt to extort money.



You're running full tilt into "pointless" land.
Do I need to know if the business is headed by a Christian, Jew, or atheist?
How about black or white?
How about woman or man.

THIS is the underlying mentality at work here. Segregating based on prejudice.
They should know the quality of the business.
What YOU are talking about is trying to give bigots information that is irrelevant to the quality of the business.

You are trying to avoid the point of BLACKMAIL faithful_servant.
Is it because as a Republican, you have no moral problem with it?

Let's repeat it a few more times, cause I think you keep wanting to insist on ignoring the point...
BLACKMAIL is wrong.
BLACKMAIL is wrong.
BLACKMAIL is wrong.
BLACKMAIL is wrong.

If thinking that is "hypocritical" in your book, then you really need to get a new book that doesn't involve crayolas...
