    This is stupid, pointless, and incredibly immature! If NOM or any other organization who like to use phrases like "family" or "protect marriage" when they really mean "anti-gay" pulled something like this against Joe Solmonese or another GLBT leader, we'd be crying homophobia in a minute! Of all the things to worry about in our struggle for equality, they chooses this. I don't like this woman any better than the rest of you, but stop acting like children! It's not like she's going anywhere. NOM was started by her and will remain her baby! I'm sure she'll have more than her fair share in what's going on! Remember, NOM is moving their offices from New Jersey to DC. She probably just didn't feel like relocating. insert your immature fat joke here!

    I don't know, JT. Brian Brown isn't nearly as good of a public speaker as Maggie. She's always pretty calm. He gets whiney and flustered.

    I hate to break it to you all, but this is NOT good news! Brian Brown is a hell of a lot worse than she is. This is a strategic play on NOM's part and it's why they are doing it. Gallagher is a bafoon, we know this, and she is 'radical', but Brown can fool people with his nonsense even more. Think of Gallagher as Fred Phelps, and Brown as George Bush. Brown is more dangerous. Why? Cause Brown can fool a lot more people. Their is power in numbers. And that analogy, is just that, it's NOT a comparison.

    Maggie, Do us all a favor and don't come back to Jersey. We don't want you here. Alabama has a place for you and you will fit right in with all the homophobe rednecks!

    Oh...how sad. Just when I was getting to know her. The times we had. How I enjoyed her defamation and slander. We should really get her something...for her anal warts (rumor has it that she has a huge crop of them. She's practically the breadbasket of anal warts)
