1. I hope gays never get to get married. Elisabeth is just repeating what everybody on the planet thinks. You don't agree? Just watch your freaky weirdo I'm a man, no I'm a woman, no I'm a man, no maybe I'm a woman, show tonight. You know what I'm talking about, the circus freak that has a baby and is now pregnant again. Talk about making a mockery and a joke of marriage and family. That right there is a vvvveeerrryyyy good example of why no ones wants you idiots being able to use the term marriage. Just take a look at ol Barbara Walters, Miss. so called right winger, liberal. Her face shows just how disgusted she is with those two idiots. Anyone with half a brain will cont. to vot yes on prop. 8. Mormon, black, white, asian, muslim, Christian. If anyything that is one thing all of the races and religions seem to be able to agree on. Yes to prop 8, and no to gay marriage!!!!

2. Why is it that elizabeth is not entitled to her opinion. Regardless of right or wrong, the privelage of living in America gives everyone the right to voice their opinion. We have fought and bled to stand an a corner and hold signs that say they hate our government. Thats how freedom works. Just because her opinion differs from those of you making comments, you're being vulgar and harsh. I agree with her. So, I guess I am all those things she is, I just don't have the balls it takes to sit with women who vehemently oppose me and state my opinions on national television. Kudos Elizabeth! God Bless America and their right to protest.

   An elderly California woman will file charges against homosexuals who attacked her during a protest against the passage of Proposition 8.

   
   

   
   Last Friday evening, homosexual activists and their supporters gathered at the Palm Springs City Hall, protesting voter approved Prop. 8, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman. Phyllis Burgess went to the rally, and carried a Styrofoam cross through the crowd.
   
   As ABC affiliate KESQ-TV carried that rally live, homosexuals surrounded the 69-year-old woman, began pushing her, reportedly spit on her, and grabbed the cross from her arms and threw it on the ground. (See video report)
   
   Burgess remained calm throughout the melee. "I was really so overflowing with peacefulness in my heart that I just couldn't see this," she says. "It wasn't in my mind, it really wasn't."

   Initially, Burgess said she did not want to file charges, but changed her mind after authorities encouraged her to do so (see related video). She says she went to the rally "just to get my remarks across at my city hall, where I have lived for 30 years." She adds: "If it takes endangerment, should that stop me? I'm a senior -- we respect elder abuse in this city."
   
   Police are reviewing video in hopes of identifying suspects. Charges would be assault and vandalism, both misdemeanors.

   If a group of Christians had reacted in this fashion to opponents of traditional marriage,

   would the incident be reported differently by the media?

   The 'true face' of opponents
   Randy Thomasson of the Campaign for Children and Families says the attack on Burgess is one of many incidents in California directed at supporters of traditional marriage. He notes that, among the rage and shouting displayed at the rally, protestors also used the "n-word" against black people.

   Thomasson equates their behavior with a toddler's temper tantrum, saying that homosexuals are demonstrating their deep intolerance for not only people who believe real marriage exists between a man and a woman, but also for people of faith and color.
   
   "America needs to see the true face of the homosexual activists who are intolerant against people of faith and anyone who believes in real marriage between a man and a woman," he contends.
   
   According to Thomasson, the peaceful marches of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., are drastically different than the recent violent displays, mainly because King was seeking natural civil rights and homosexuals are demanding public endorsement of their "unnatural sexual behavior."

4. If they took away Hasselbeck's right to dye her hair, then maybe she'd understand what it's like to lose a basic human right that's important.

   And I dont know the term for a lady douchebag [remember Garrett Morris on SNL?] but the term for Hasselbeck and her ilk starts with C and rhymes with grunt.
