Once again...it was black voters who passed Prop 8.You pervs should be boycotting them...if you dare.Do you scumbags have an argument with the boss at work and go home and beat the dog?

C'mon pervs...go to the source of your problem.

If you dare!!!!!!

Colorado faced a boycott in 92 and they caved pretty quickly.

Well, I would respond to that guy who said Utah Mormons crossed the line on this — I think that the gay activists have crossed the line for years by continually forcing homosexual marriage on a country that doesn’t want it. They cross the line with all of the lawsuits filed in many states. We could engage in a pissing contest all night if the subject is, where are people crossing the line with their allegedly outrageous, out of bounds behavior.

Yup, the Mormons were GREAT on Prop 8. I dropped them a line of thanks.

A change of vacation plan for me and my family:

Instead of San Francisco, we’re going to Utah for the holidays!

I say ALL Mormons should boycott the bluest of California. Visit South Carolina or Louisiana. Hell, visit Florida. If you want good food, go to Arizona or New Mexico. Boycott all organizations and firms that contributed in favor of gays with prop 8.

Its time to hurt the liberals where it hurts the most, in their wallets. In this case, by denying the state of California tax revenue.

This has already been said,but they won’t take their protests to black or Hispanic neighborhoods.The vast
majority of blacks can’t stand homosexuals.

"They just took marriage away from 20,000 couples and made their children bastards," he said. "You don't do that and get away with it."

Wait a minute.So Bruce and Lance...or Tammy and Betty have kids to whom *both* are genetically connected? Geeze,I learned in 6th grade biology class that that's not possible.It's the pervs who are...the pervs.There's nothing intrinsically wrong with the kids.At least not yet.

I agree.If I was a skier...or lived somewhere near Utah....I'd make a special effort to visit the state.But I hate winter and live 2000+ miles away.

The thing about hate is that it has to go somewhere. The gays found the only avenue that they could attack, and are “thrusting forward.” Forgive the pun. The only way to deal with hate is to turn it over to G-d—so I suggest that before they destroy themselves that they turn to G-d and ask for forgiveness of their sins and direction from Him. This isn’t a joke, but a firm request for the Father.

Here is a video response to the venomous video that the opponents of Proposition 8 created.

Well, you can’t expect them to insult and try to intimidate blacks - they would get their #@#s kicked. Much safer to attack Mormons...

It could be a heavy price to pay. Tourism brings in $6 billion a year to Utah, with world-class skiing, a spectacular red rock country and the film festival founded by Robert Redford, among other popular tourist draws.

Laughable. How much of the six bil. is "gay" tourism?

They? So the fact that 5.5 million Californians (of whom only a very small percentage are Mormon) voted for the homo marriage ban is somehow the Mormons' fault?

They are working the Alinsky stuff we've heard all about recently. They are picking a target in order to freeze it.

_______________________________________________________

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

In conflict tactics there are certain rules that the organizer should always regard as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and “frozen.” By this I mean that in a complex, interrelated, urban society, it becomes increasingly difficult to single out who is to blame for any particular evil. There is a constant, and somewhat legitimate, passing of the buck. The target is always trying to shift responsibility to get out of being the target.

One of the criteria in picking your target is the target’s vulnerability -
where do you have the power to start?

Furthermore, the target can always say, “Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?” When you “freeze the target,” you disregard these arguments and, for the moment, all others to blame.

Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all of the “others” come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target.

The other important point in the choosing of a target is that it must be a personification, not something general and abstract such as a community’s segregated practices or a major corporation or City Hall. It is not possible to develop the necessary hostility against, say, City Hall, which after all is a concrete, physical, inanimate structure, or against a corporation, which has no soul or identity, or a public school administration, which again is an inanimate system.
