Well, NOM's Peters certainly knows a thing or two about dividing and fostering hostility
The claim that President Obama is out to divide and foster animosity is pretty silly no matter what…
…but when the person who writes it is an employee of an organization that operates with a vision like this…
(*this strategy launched just months after the President took office)

…one can't help but marvel at the astounding hypocrisy.
Yet that is exactly what is happening over at CatholicVote.org, where the National Organization For Marriage's own Cultural Director and blogger, Thom...
Video: Minnesota Family Council mailer asks of marriage equality: 'The end of the human race?'
YouTuner "Sloopydrew" reads from some of the direct mail pieces that Minnesota's anti-equality groups are using to support that state's (un)constitutional marriage ban. Some of the language is NSFW; all of the church overreaches are not safe for religious/civil separation:

'Catholic Bandita' Lisa Graas brings more attention to MD Marriage Alliance extremism; yay!
Lisa Graas is a NOM supporter who runs the Catholic Bandita blog. This is how Ms. Graas regards gay people:
Homosexual inclination is objectively disordered. It is not “okay” to be “gay” any more than it is “okay” to hate babies.
Let’s say there were a disorder that caused people to hate children. They can’t help it because their brains are made so that they hate children. They don’t go out and hurt children, but they hate them, and they can’t help it because of this disorder.
‘Gay’ is ‘Not Okay...

Obviously, those of us who know his true record are troubled whenever Tony Perkins is booked as an "expert" without the anchor giving any insight into who he is or how he routinely engages. That goes without saying (even if I've certainly said it countless times).
But in this Fox News appearance, there is an even deeper level of deceit going on. Watch it and I'll get back to you:

Audio: WA inequality guy says gays' marriages are false, naked, due to peer pressure, anti-God (#ApproveR74)
Hungry? Well here, have some word salad, delivered to you by Joseph Backholm, the head of the marriage inequality team in Washington state:
Or alternately, Joseph—you're just on the wrong side of history. Be careful not to confuse long-windedness with merit.
Maryland Marriage Alliance selling swag; hopes wanton inequality is hot for fall
This is the first time I've seen an anti-equality campaign fundraise by selling official campaign swag:
[Zazzle]
Oooooh, a trucker hat. You know, just in case the discriminatory campaign itself wasn't enough to tell you that the Maryland Marriage Alliance is out of touch with the youth and their wishes.
While we're on the theme of the Maryland Marriage Alliance and extreme outreach…
…here's Michael Lavers' report from yet another weekend appearance that proves how far beyond marriage the anti-equality agenda really goes:
BALTIMORE — A California pastor referred to gays as as “predators” during an event against same-sex marriage at a local black church on Sunday.
“You know if we’re willing to stand up and do what we need to do in order to be able to understand that they’re after our children, they’re predators,” said Phillip Goudeaux of the Calvary Christian Center in Sacra...
