Irony Watch

On their website, Stand for Marriage Maine (S4MM) has this nugget:

The People's Veto of Gay Marriage - Question 1 - needs your financial contribution. Your support will help us stand up to the vast network of wealthy homosexuals with seemingly unlimited resources from places like Hollywood, New York and Massachusetts. Washington, D.C.'s largest national lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization has already pledged to spend as much as $5 million to try to defeat us.

That S4MM will use this claim when they have received over 60% of their contributions from just one group, National Organization for Marriage (NOM), is of interest.

And no one group has donated even $1.6 million, let alone $5 million, to the NO on 1 campaign. But these sorts of facts never seem to bother the morals of those behind the Yes campaign.

If S4MM is referring to the (0.00 / 0)
Human Rights Campaign (HRC) as the D.C. based gay rights group, then they should know that HRC has donated $140,000 in cash and $80,000 in in-kind contributions to NO on 1.

Or, the $220,000 total, while a lot of money, pales compared to the $1.6 million that NOM has given to the Yes side.


Not ironic, but a bit odd (0.00 / 0)
I jsut got a polling call that seemed a bit "off" to me.  I asked twice what the name of the company was, and was given "National Opinion Survey", which doesn't sound like the name of any polling firm I've ever heard of.  There were some leading questions, seemed mostly to be about Question 1, but also asked my opinion of Barack Obama and John Baldacci.   Anyone else heard from these folks?
