Here are the amounts donated, as of Oct. 27, to either side for or against Prop 8 from the four highest-contributing states, excluding California (from here):

New York, $2.2 million
Michigan, $1.5 million
Utah, $1.5 million
Connecticut, $1.4 million

Here is the pro:con ratio for donations from residents of the same states (from here):

New York, 44.8-fold against
Michigan, 7.1-fold against
Utah, 3.6-fold in favor
Connecticut, 4.4-fold against

The pro-8 protestors are obviously attacking the only people they can blame without threatening their saccharine rainbow coalition.

That’s what I mean. It’s one thing to disagree, another to find someone’s home, harass them, follow them, congregate on their front lawn. Those people are nuts, and they are rabid.

Things are pretty bad when a bunch of fairies can intimidate us.

How can America deal with people like them?
