See, you can be a hatefilled bastard and nice as hell
“Brian Brown speaks to these people. He has a master’s degree from Oxford, and completed course work for a doctorate in history from UCLA. He shoulders the accusations of bigotry; it’s horrible when people say that your life’s mission is actually just prejudice. He tries to help people see that opposing gay marriage does not make them bigots, that the argument should have nothing to do with hate or fear, and everything to do with history and tradition.The reason Brian Brown is so effective is that he is pleasantly, ruthlessly sane.”
…“Brown is confident that if people hear his message, they will believe it. “People already believe it,” he says, “but the issue is so deep-seated that they’ve never had to create an argument for it. Now we have to give people the language to do that.” Create talking points. Help them see. “
Its that last bit that shows how this really is bigotry. It isn’t that there’s good reason and argument to oppose gay marriage, its that reasons and arguments have to be created to justify it.
Thank you, Washington Post, for showing us how manipulative hate and fear can be.
