		<description>What goes around comes around. Maggie will get hers one day just like Anita Bryant did in the 1970s. 
It wont surprise me if she ends up with a gay child or grandchild. Life has a way of making you pay tenfold</description>

		<description>Jerrold, I&#039;ve noticed her weight gain and how totally unhealthy she looks too. Perhaps a steady diet of bigotry, oppression, and hatred is making itself physically apparent on her frame. She doesn&#039;t look happy either. I see a heavy spirit and a depressed demeanor. I hope, for her own health, that she goes back home. I suspect that there is a financial motive to her staying on, although she would most likely heartily protest, to a degree that makes one believe that, yes, a financial motive did exist. Nurses are good at seeing disease, even if they aren&#039;t of a physical nature. The same was true with that prejean gal, pegged long ago as untrue. I really do think that it is unsavory for our gay community to wish harm and disease and death on anyone, no matter how much harm they bring to us. That says more about us than them. Having worked through the AIDS crisis of the eighties, I just can&#039;t bring myself to wish suffering on anyone. Now, in cancer, the thought of praying for bad things on people is just plain asking for it. People will be their own undoing, without any input from us. Either one is true blue or not. The cosmos has a way of evening the score.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not praying she dies, that&#039;s the easy way out. I&#039;m praying her husband leaves her for a man and/or a sex tape of her with a woman surfaces, shaming her eternally.

As a side note - has anyone noticed that everytime we lose a battle Maggie gets fatter?  Maybe it&#039;s because there are no gays to share the victory cake with her.  Eat on, Maggie, eat on.</description>

		<description>Her words live on, even after her shell ceases to exist; that&#039;s the power of words. Don&#039;t pray for strokes or heart attacks, that&#039;s risky behavior and weak. Do battle with words.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t be too hard on Maggie.  She actually believes the hateful nonsense that she spews, just like the leaders of the KKK as recently as 50 years ago, actually believed that black people were inherently evil.

I have noticed that Maggie always appears alone, without her husband.  I suspect Maggies&#039;s husband might be gay, and they are staying married only because they believe divorce is forbidden.  She is bitter and angry about it, and thinks that some anonymous &quot;gay people&quot; have ruined her marriage.  That anger fuels her hateful self-righteousness, and gives her the energy to continue her campaign.

We should pray for her.  Pray that she repents of her evil ways.  Pray that her own marriage situation is resolved -- either by reconciliation or by divorce.  Or, just pray that she has a heart attack or a stroke.  There are a lot of things that could stop her campaign of hate.</description>

Apparently her husband is Hindu.  His name is Raman Srivastav. Prior to being married to Raman, Maggie was an unwed mother (go figure), even though she is an outspoken critic of single mothers raising children.

The Bilerico Project has covered the absence of her husband at events.  They have an interesting take on that.

		<description>@13 Jason: &quot;It speaks volumes of the nature of liberalism, a philosophy dominated by weak individuals.&quot;

What calls itself &quot;liberalism&quot; in this country is anything but. It is socialism that co-opted the name of a proud tradition of free-thinking, suspicion of government power, and support for individual rights and liberties (i.e. classical liberalism) to con people into supporting it. The word has not been tainted by association in other countries.

If you support government run health care and taxing the rich, don&#039;t be afraid to call yourself a socialist. Just stop taking up the mantle of liberalism

But back to the topic at hand. If she chokes on a turkey leg this Thanksgiving (or trying to engorge the whole thing in one bite) I&#039;ll be dancing in the street.</description>

		<description>Its not a question of liberal states, in fact there really are none. Once you live New York City where I live for instance, there are just as many rednecks and right wing religious wackos living here, ditto for Massachusetts or anywhere.   Its a little easier getting marriage equality passed in states that don&#039;t have initiative or ballots put to the popular vote such as New York.  Maine unfortunately wasn&#039;t one of those states, ditto California.

The problem with our movement is we don&#039;t have very good organizational skills, far too politically correct unlike Gallagher&#039;s ads and lets face it, they by far outnumber us with literally battalions of enthusiastic, determined supporters and an endless supply of money, some of it donated by wealthy religious cults, mormons, romans etc.   We don&#039;t have any of that.</description>

		<description>Its women like her who keep men in the closet, and then women turn around and blame men for bringing HIV and all other dieseases to the bedroom. 

Marriage is a personal experience, no one has to recognize it but the couple who share that bond. So this whole argument of marriage is just stupid and pointless. People should marry whom ever they love, and have ceremonys to embrass their love, and honor it. Governments don&#039;t rule over love. Nor does and God or religion.</description>

		<description>The fact is the states that have gay marriage through judicial fiat (their theory) still have not cared about the sanctity of marriage enough to pass constitutional amendments banning it.  This notion that somehow Americans care as much as she does is absurd.  MA has has gay marriage for over five years and MA residents haven&#039;t bothered going to the ballot box to pass referendums or amend the MA constitution to ban gay marriage.  

She&#039;s just a liar...just like the rest.  If it weren&#039;t for HER organization&#039;s proactive efforts in Maine to get people to care using lies and fear, it&#039;s likely people would have gone about their business and let gays marry one another.</description>

		<description>I have no desire to watch this bitch&#039;s video, but I do find it curious that I&#039;ve never seen her husband at any of these anti-gay marriage rallies. I think her marriage is so horrible that she can&#039;t stand to see other people happy and this is her only outlet. I&#039;ll bet money her husband hates her and that she&#039;ll be getting divorced in the near future. She always looks so miserable her only joy comes at the expense of denying gay people their rights.</description>

		<description>Have you ever looked up the list of countries that support gay marriage and the countries that are opposed to it.  In favor; Mexico, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, South Africa, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Argentinia, Portugal, Britain &amp; Canada. Those opposed to equality; Afghanistan, Pakistan, Algeria,  Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Cameroon, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Eygpt, Gaza. Iran. Iraq. Syria. Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syyria, Saudi-Arabia, Namibia, Nigeria, Myanmar, Sudan, Uganda, Yemen, Uzbekistan, Zambia, Zimbabwe and the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. Why are we on the wrong side of this. All the anti-equality counrties are controlled by either religious fundies, dictators, or both, and have a vastly under educated populace. Three three key points to the conservative movement.  China and Russia will probably have gay marriage before we do.</description>

		<description>So, Maggie, do you consider all of the children (of gays) unworthy of stablizing (equal) family benefits? Are they simply &quot;collateral damage&quot; in this puritanical war or do you believe that &quot;the sins&quot; of the parents shall be inherited by their children for generations upon generations?  How do you justify taking benefits away from anyone? Even basic 25 percent domestic partner rights are being disputed. That&#039;s just hatred. It&#039;s truly sick and you will be remembered badly forever. What a legacy. Skin-heads are alive and well in Germany, so maybe in the year 2040 you&#039;ll still have a few marginalized followers, but the majority of the world&#039;s population is going to be shaking their heads in awe that there was someone doing this to others. I love women, but you&#039;re becoming increasingly difficult to love. It&#039;s wrong to discriminate. I&#039;m ashamed of you. I wish it was another country&#039;s citizen doing this to us, rather than a fellow American and woman. &quot;Collateral damage&quot; must be the way you rationalize yourself to sleep every night. You think you are so right too. I have to go back to work, so that I can pay taxes to a government that discriminates against me. Let me quit typing and choke down this Shredded Wheat before the hour&#039;s up. I&#039;m so glad you are not related to me. If you were my aunt or mother or sister or friend, I&#039;d be so ashamed of you. History will hold your legacy up as the standard of gay intolerance, long after we are both dead. &quot;Collateral damage&quot; yes?</description>

		<description>@13: &quot;Do you seriously think all those &quot;open-minded straights&quot; voted for gay marriage? Think again.&quot;

&lt;i&gt;Somebody&lt;/i&gt; voted for gay marriage. In fact, 47% of the voters supported gay marriage. Somehow I doubt that 47% of the state is LGBT. There had to be at least a few straight people voting in favor of same sex marriage.</description>

		<description>For however vile Maggie Gallagher is you have to admit that she is very good and quite effective in winning battles. She knows how to play to people&#039;s fears and exploit them in order to win. She nows how to rally her &quot;troops&quot; against same-sex marriage. 

She was spot on in most of her points... same-sex marriage advocates had the advantage going in on November 4th and it still failed by a wider margin than prop 8. Same-sex marriage will continue to lose until the younger generation gets involved.</description>
