Leader of Maine’s Anti-Gay Marriage Campaign Admits They Lied
Posted April 18th, 2011 by Evan Hurst
Marc Mutty, who ran Yes on 1 in Maine, will be featured in a documentary later this year on the campaign to repeal marriage in that state, and in the trailer, he’s on camera admitting what we all already know — they lied in their campaign. They always lie:

“We use a lot of hyperbole and I think that’s always dangerous,” says Mutty during a Yes on 1 strategy session, at the time on leave from his job as public affairs director for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Maine.

“You know, we say things like ‘Teachers will be forced to (teach same-sex marriage in schools)!’ ” he continues. “Well, that’s not a completely accurate statement and we all know it isn’t, you know?”

“No,” interjects a woman off-camera. “We don’t say that.”

“Let’s look back at our ads and see what we say,” Mutty persists. “And I think we use hyperbole to the point where, you know, it’s like ‘Geez!’ “

Indeed! I would go so far as to say that not only Mutty, but the entire Religious Right, flat makes sh*t up, their hatred of gay people runs so deep. More than that, they seem to know that facts are not on their side:

“I know we need to do what we have to do — not only slam people over the head with a two-by-four, but a two-by-four with nails sticking out of it,” he says. “And it’s nuts … unfortunately, I think it’s a lousy approach. But it’s the only thing we’ve got — it’s the only way. That’s the way campaigns work.”

Well, like I said, we already know they’re liars, but it’s refreshing to see one of them admit it, and perhaps, it seems from the article, feel a little bit of remorse over it. Like any good Christian, though, Mutty’s biggest regret is that he was caught on camera saying potty words, because, as we all know, potty words are worse than lying about an entire class of people in order to deny them and their families constitutional rights

1. Sad, but pretty much as expected.

Making shit up is pretty much what all of these campaigns are about. The RC Diocese of Maine should publicly apologize to all of the citizens for this charade.

2. Lying is a Sacrament for them

Their actual faith says any spin or inaccuracy is a major sin. Jesus said so over and over. He did not condmen gay people. He condemned liars and those who use spin and speak falsley, as the 'faith community' does, everytime. They lie, and call themselves holy.

3. Isn't that what they call bearing false witness?

I mean, isn't it in that 10 Commandments stuff they go on and on about?

4. The Commandments are for 'Little People.'

The leaders know that it's all a bullshit racket to keep from going out and working for a living.

There are good people in the Church and they are probably a majority, but assholes like this validate the Reformation.

Time for another one.

5. The Reformation wasn't all butterflies and puppies

And it led directly to the Thirty Years War, where atrocities were committed by both sides.

Now a Restoration toward what Jesus said and away from that bastard Paul, I'd be completely behind. Jesus was a cool guy. Paul was an ass.

6. Oh Good! I'm Not the Only One!

I'm no longer Christian and a lot of it stems from Paul. I never liked the bloke and think he has to be one of the WORST, most mean-spirited people I have ever seen. Unfortunately Constantine saw fit to enshrine Pauline Christianity into law...and it was all downhill from there.
