No on Prop 8 (the good guys) have issued a demand that the lies of the radical religious right be taken off the air statewide in California. Here’s the text from the NO on Prop 8 press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 10, 2008No On Prop 8 Campaign Demands Ads
Be Taken Off The AirLawyers for Campaign say ads are “false and misleading”
The NO on Prop 8 campaign today released a memorandum from their law firm to stations throughout California citing the lies contained in the Yes on 8 advertisements currently running statewide, asking them to take the ads down. The memorandum to station managers from Karen Getman of Remcho, Johansen & Purcell, LLP, is attached.
“Their ads are full of lies and this memo makes that clear” said Steve Smith, Campaign Manager for No on 8. “There is nothing in Prop 8 about teaching children in our schools, nothing that would affect religion or religious institutions in any way, and Pepperdine University has made it clear they aren’t involved in the Yes Campaign in any way.”
“Lots of campaigns stretch the truth,” continued Smith, “but these ads go way beyond that. The Yes on 8 Campaign ads are false and misleading and are meant to scare the public. These ads go way beyond what we’ve ever seen in past campaigns. They must come off the air.”
The Bible-thumping prevaricators will squeal and squirm and moan about religious persecution, but there’s no denying they’re ignoring that part in their big fat book about not bearing false witness.
