Maggie Gallagher is another reason why we won yesterday in Prop 8 decision



Another reason why the Prop 8 side lost yesterday is demonstrated by the above video which features Maggie Gallagher of the National Organization for Marriage and Evan Wolfson of Freedom to Marry.

Maybe it's just me but Gallagher came across as rude and shrill. She didn't seem to want to answer the questions at hand and at times talked over host Anderson Cooper.

Isn't it a shame that her cohorts couldn't act the same way in court. Maybe they would have gained a little ground.

One more thing - her "waaaaaa, stop calling me a bigot" routine could easily disappeared is someone would ask her about her associations to folks like the Traditional Values Coalition and Louis Marinelli.

I caught this interview whilst flipping channels the other day. My favorite part is how Anderson caught Maggie contradicting herself when he pointed out she said a Judge can override the popular vote of the people if that vote strips equal civil rights (For blacks in the example discussed), after she had previously insisted the Judge has NO right to do so at all (for Gays), and Maggie couldn't do anything but become a flustered gibbering rude bitch. Although to be fair she came off as rude, smug and obnoxious the entire time to begin with.

I liked the last few seconds when Mr. Wolfson is saying that NOM (et al) is trying to get states to get marriage amendments into law because they see that they are losing their battle. Maggies response is "you are entitled to your view, but you are not entitled to make it my view." LOL, this coming from someone that is trying to force her view as law.

thanks for posting these, btw :)
