Ruh-roh. Fundies vs. Norquist.
Email from the American Family Association:

Norquist Raising Funds To Help Defeat Homosexual Marriage Ban In Texas

Dear tanyev,

You may or may not be aware that the scheduled speaker at the Log Cabin Republicans of Dallas' Grand Ol' Party on October 15 is Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. According to a press release from The Log Cabin group funds raised at the event will go to support the defeat of Proposition 2, the Marriage Amendment.

Should you be a financial supporter of Americans for Tax Reform, I felt you should be aware of it.

The press release states: "The local group is paying part of the salary for a field director representing Log Cabin Republicans to work helping defeat Proposition 2."

Your support of Americans for Tax Reform is supporting the effort to defeat Proposition 2, and by contrast to help promote homosexual marriage in Texas.

I felt you should be aware of this.

Please forward this to friends and family.

Sincerely,

Don

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association



AND, email from Family Research Council


Taxing Our Tolerance


Texas leaders of the Log Cabin Republicans, a homosexual organization within the G.O.P., are headlining Grover Norquist as their main speaker at a fund-raiser tomorrow night. Norquist is the well-respected leader of Americans for Tax Reform, a group I was once part of as a Louisiana legislator. FRC has worked with Grover Norquist on tax issues and their impact on the family for many years. Because of our relationship we have voiced our concern directly with Mr. Norquist over his apparent support of this anti-family group. We pointed out to Mr. Norquist that some of the funds raised would be plowed into Log Cabin's fight against the pro-marriage amendment on the ballot next month in Texas.

Grover has spent years working to assemble a coalition of fiscal and social conservatives and his decision to aid those who are trying to destroy the institution of marriage is truly a disappointment and will no doubt split this important coalition. As social conservatives we remain committed to the country's fiscal and social well- being; we have tolerance neither for increasing taxes nor marginalizing marriage. If only that commitment ware mutual.
(Yes, it really says "ware")


Popcorn, anyone? :popcorn:

1. It had to happen. The fundie/neocon alliance was bound to break
down--amazing it's lasted as long as it has, considering the degree to which their core interests are in conflict.

7. I think it's funny when Republicans call themselves 'conservatives'
I have a hard time figuring out exactly what these 'conservatives' are supposed to be conserving.

2. It's always fun to watch the right eat its own
(a similar thing's happening over here with the Conservative Party leadership battle)

On the subject of Norquist, I'm still staggered that barely anything has been made by the fundies of his "Islamic Institute".

4. Norquist is rumored to be a closet case,
so this doesn't really surprise me too much.

6. And the people running the AFA and the FRC are probably
well aware of that. But because they have worked with him so closely for years now, they can't really speak out about it, can they?

:rofl:

5. Where do I send a cheque?
"Your support of Americans for Tax Reform is supporting the effort to defeat Proposition 2, and by contrast to help promote homosexual marriage in Texas."

And the problem with that IS?????

Oh...Donald Wildmon. The guy who swears Mighty Mouse was snorting cocaine and disney movies were saying "Good children, take off your clothes"...

IOW, a sexually frustrated, bat-shit Fundy whack-job....

9. OMG, stop! There's a scam going on here!
This is the exact same thing as the Norquist-Reed-Abramoff Indian Casino Scandal.

This time though, instead of Casinos, it is a marriage amendment!
