http://pamshouseblend.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=8507The National Organization for Marriage, which seemingly exists mostly to exalt heterosexual marriage above all other forms of relationships, has initiated a petition, ad campaign, and website called Above the Hate the purpose of which is "to say 'Enough!' to the campaign of hate and intimidation being waged against the LDS Church and other supporters of California's Proposition 8." This campaign accuses "powerful, well-funded political forces" (ie- gays) of "attacks" against the LDS Church in the wake of Prop 8's passage including:
* Large organized protests designed to disrupt places of worship;
* Public calls to investigate and "dig up dirt" on Americans of a particular faith who donated to a political cause;
* An outrageous television ad campaign crudely and deliberately designed to incite fear and hatred of a minority religious community.
