Interesting article. I wasn't aware of so many such incidents occurring. Your source is probably at least a little biased, but if we assume at least some of them are true, it's still unacceptable. However, it's important to remember that there's a difference between persecuting someone for their beliefs and persecuting them for how they *implement* them in ways that affect your life. Your comparison to Jews doesn't work because the Jews were a scapegoat, whereas the pro-Prop 8 folks actually had a hand in the measure's success. I'm not condoning the physical violence or graffiti. I'm also not willing to admit that a punch in the face or some spraypaint in retribution for measurable actions is the same as brutal murder because of dislike for how someone lives his or her life when it has no effect on the persecutor.

Also, we have protections for such things as harassment in the form of *other laws*.

Not in this specific example. The gay community isn't exactly going out of its way to violently oppress those who oppose it, while the other side can't say the same. In fact, I'd be surprised if this were anything more than the traditional belief that "since they should fear retribution from me, I should fear equivalent retribution from them." It's a pretty common belief among modern social conservatives.

You write idiocy in quotes. Is this to imply that Palin isn't actually an idiot because she has 12 million dollars? Why do conservatives rabidly believe that possession of money has a direct relationship with intelligence or aptitude? Just because you're the smartest mentally handicapped kid in your special needs class and you've convinced all the other mentally handicapped kids to give you all of their candy doesn't mean you're in the same league as even the most average mainstream students.

Um. What? Which interference are you referring to?

My Wii is great! Thanks for asking! Honestly, this is roughly the 10th time Sony has pulled this kind of bullshit. We're waaaaayyyy beyond "fool me twice."
