FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 7, 2012

“Vice President Joe Biden is declaring war on those 30 states in America that have adopted constitutional amendments defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.”—Brian Brown, NOM president—
Washington, D.C. — Following Vice President Joe Biden’s remarks yesterday on NBC’s “Meet The Press” regarding his views on same-sex marriage, Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, responded:
“It’s always hard to know what Vice President Biden is doing whenever he speaks. He could be launching a trial balloon, or he could just be being Biden with his foot in his mouth again. Whether he realizes it or not, Biden is declaring war on those 30 states in America that have adopted constitutional amendments defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. This is soon to be 31 states when North Carolina, the site of the Democratic convention this August, enacts a constitutional amendment preserving traditional marriage tomorrow. What Joe Biden wants—genderless marriage that kowtows to the demands of gay couples—cannot exist alongside traditional marriage. Only one definition of marriage can exist. Joe Biden just made gay marriage a major issue in the presidential contest in critical swing states whose voters have adopted marriage amendments—including Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Nevada. We will make sure that voters in these states, and others, know that if the Obama/Biden ticket is reelected, our marriage laws will be at grave risk.”

We almost never reprint press releases verbatim, but this one was just too ludicrous to edit — all we’ve done is remove their bolding and change to bold what we felt was “important.” And by important we mean, well, especially ludicrous.

wow … some people just don't know when to quit failing do they …. LOLOLOL @ GOP
Why "30 states"? Aren't there 34 states that prohibit same-sex marriage? Don't hate groups like NOM ever worry about the legacy they leave? If I were Brian Brown, I would be racked with guilt over my kids having to go through life as the children of one of the country's most notorious bigots. Same for Maggie Gallagher's kids. Don't these people ever think of their impact on their kids' lives? A quick discussion with Anita Bryant's kids would be instructive!
If you want to change people's hearts, you must speak their language.
Christians understand that Christ preached love. The two most important commandment in the New Testament above all others is to 1) love God with all your heart and 2) love your neighbor as yourself.
Brian Brown, it's only a war if you make it so! Bigoted rhetoric on your part is breeding hate in your "followers" and nothing more! Stop the HATE!
