Left Wing Bigots And Carrie Prejean

This was part of the statement issued by Maine Governor John E. Baldacci when he signed the bill authorizing gay marriage:

“I appreciate the tone brought to this debate by both sides of the issue,” Governor Baldacci said. “This is an emotional issue that touches deeply many of our most important ideals and traditions. There are good, earnest and honest people on both sides of the question.”

Somebody tell the Leftist Thought Police attacking Carrie Prejean that earnest and honest people can disagree on this issue. Read this:

It’s easier to dismiss proponents of traditional marriage as bigots than to answer questions about whether changing traditional marriage will lead to polygamy, or the lowering of the minimum age to marry.

Ms Prejean did not say anything hateful or damaging about anyone. She voiced an opinion held by millions of Americans, including the current occupant of the oval office. The campaign against her has been a despicable display of intolerance and slime politics. It should be condemned by all people of good will. Governor Baldacci said it best:

This is an emotional issue that touches deeply many of our most important ideals and traditions.

We live in an era of change. The civil rights and tolerance towards gay people is being confirmed nationwide. It would be a shame if their more radical elements turn Americans against them.
