Newsom: I'm not to blame for Kerry defeat

Speaking in Cambridge, SF mayor Gavin Newsom said, "(Gay marriage) was going to be used as a wedge issue regardless of whether or not some crazy mayor was sworn in in San Francisco or not."

I tend to agree. Foamers will always find something to use as a lightning rod. If it hadn't been SF, it would have been the Massachusetts Supreme Court's decision. If it hadn't been them, it would have been something else. The right wing is expert at finding images and issues they can lie about and get their constituency all excited about. What the fuck was it during Xmas -- that liberals were taking the Jesus out of Christmas or some bullshit like that?

The amazing thing to me is -- that's after they won. Bill O'Reilly and his ilk stirred up that whole Xmas controversy five weeks after they won the White House and Congress going away. Yet they were still out there disturbing shit, because they have to keep spewing hate or they disappear. They have nothing else to offer.
