But apparently, it’s an “anti-defamation” thing rather than an anti-assault thing. ‘Cause when they make unsupported sweeping statements declaring us to be direct threats to civilization and specifically out to assault children, that’s all in fun, but pointing out that they are liars with no proof to their claims is actionable.

But you can’t tell the court (or the public) that your witnesses aren’t going to witness because they will look like fools, so the Proponents came up with a unique explanation. Gays are violent threatening people and the witnesses are terrified of repercussions.

The Prop8 proponents are predominantly religion-driven, so as part of that world it’s easy for them to imagine that they can just make up preposterous stories and have them magically accepted as true. This preposterous story was merely one of many. But most of their would-be witnesses were smart enough to know that while Magic Truth can persuade gullible fools to support them, it will generally get them laughed out of a courtroom.

If there was indeed a organized and violent LGBT underground how is it that someone like Tony Perkins can still be unscathed? It’s not like the AFA is in an undisclosed location. Why is Robert George able to go about the Princeton campus with out a body guard? Brian Brown brings his wife and kids to his little rally’s where the gays often out number his attendees—obviously not so scary. Any attacks against the Liberty Counsel? BamBam and Porno Pete? As you point out Maggie seems to have to no problem going about NYC and Scarsdale with much interference.

It’s not as if we don’t know who our enemies are. The whole our witnesses are scared for their safety meme is utter nonsense and the media should call them on it.

I would like Brian Brown to provide the name of one Christian that has ever been beaten up, attacked with baseball bats, or killed at the hands of gay people. Just one will do, Brian.
