Undaunted by reality, NOM retreats further into far-right echo chamber
How far-right is Republican pollster KellyAnne Conway? Well, here's where she was the morning after the election:
She was also one of Newt Gingrich's senior campaign advisors.
But in the increasingly desperate world of the National Organization For Marriage, Ms. Conway is nothing more than a "respected pollster" with a totally objective take on how Americans view civil equality:
The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today released the results of a nationwide survey of voters conducted on...
Okay, now I'm just gloating
Read then press play:

Audio: What NOM's favorite radio network really thinks of us (*hint: it doesn't stop at marriage)
Relevant Radio, a Catholic network, has become the de facto broadcasting arm of the National Organization For Marriage. NOM runs ads on the network all the time, and NOM personalities appear on the network's shows on a near-weekly basis. In fact NOM's Cultural Director, Thomas Peters, appeared about ten minutes after the clip that I'm about to play you and appeared on another Relevant Radio program ("A Closer Look with Sheila Liaugminas") on this same day.
So now the clip. Here's how this netw...

Anti-equality campaigns' Facebook pages are now the unthreatening opinion pages they should be
I just took what might be my final look at the official Facebook pages of each of the four marriage campaigns that lost on election day. And you know what's 
interesting? Now, when we know that they have no chance of actually affecting our civil rights at the polls, these Facebook pages are actually what they should've always been: A place for (mostly) religious people to blow off steam, using their personally-held faith opinions to dialogue with like minds.
The fact of the matter is that most...
Brian Brown's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad election cycle
These are the top five most active candidates on ActRight, the conservative fundraising mechanism created by the National Organization for Marriage's Brian Brown:
[ActRight]
Every last one of them lost. McCotter didn't even make it to election night.
So much blown money.

Video: Rev. Owens sticks with very rhetoric that's alienating needed voters
NOM's named religious liaison, Rev. Bill Owens, has been telling people for months that he has the power to convince Black voters to go against both President Obama and marriage equality at the polls. He didn't.
So what to do now? Well, attack gay families even more viciously, of course:
(via Right Wing Watch)
I'm beginning to think some of these folks just don't want us around. Tough.
The 'Chick-fil-A effect' and other election year myths
I started hearing it on the day itself. Conservatives, particularly on Twitter, began suggesting that the much-hyped "Chick-fil-A Day" (held Aug. 1) was a precursor to 
the supposed presidential sweep that the far-right's other targeted media outlets had told them was coming down the pipe. Christians had had enough, they were told, and the "freedom-loving Americans" were going to stand up against our pro-equality President the way they stood in support of the anti-gay business COO who said mar...
