Pro-Prop 8 crowd tries to hide from its extremist base by:
Pam Spaulding Mon Nov 24, 2008 at 15:00:00 PM EST It's hard not to call any group that fights to eliminate civil rights of citizens extremists, but apparently inside the circle of hate of organizations that supported the passage of Prop 8, the unhinged Randy Thomasson and his Campaign for California Families are too much for the Protect Marriage crowd. (
SFGate):"We represent the people who got things done, who got Prop. 8 passed," said Andrew Pugno, general counsel for the Yes on Prop. 8 campaign. "An important part of defending Prop. 8 is eliminating arguments not helpful to our concerns." Pugno, for example, persuaded the Supreme Court last week to bar the Campaign for California Families from intervening in the court case over the validity of Prop. 8 and the same-sex marriage ban.
"That organization represents the extreme fringe and is not representative of the coalition that got it passed," Pugno said.
