Video: Brian Brown addresses lies in Albany; was he looking into a teleprompter or a mirror?

by Jeremy Hooper

Frankly, I find the music a little creepy; the cultivation of racial division a little lot disturbing:

Pretty interesting to hear a Washington D.C. resident (by way of Connecticut) tell New Yorkers how to vote.

Oh, and as for that whole "we don't care about party" thing? Well that's funny, considering Brian is the creator of the nothing-but-partisan election site ActRight.com. Why, exactly, should Democrats think he has any interest in electing more (D's)?

**ALSO: Because this site believes in the sanctity of marriage, I'm going to keep pulling my Dr. King insight from the person with whom he shared a life, heart, and marital bed:

CORETTA QUOTES
"I still hear people say that I should not be talking about the rights of lesbian and gay people and I should stick to the issue of racial justice... But I hasten to remind them that Martin Luther King, Jr., said, 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere' ... I appeal to everyone who believes in Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream to make room at the table of brotherhood and sisterhood for lesbian and gay people."

Like Martin, I don’t believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and deny it to others", she would tell black civil rights leaders angered by gays and lesbians comparing their struggle to their own. She would quote her husband and say, “I have worked too long and hard against segregated public accommodations to end up segregating my moral concern. Justice is indivisible."
-June 23, 1994

"Gay and lesbian people have families, and their families should have legal protection, whether by marriage or civil union. A constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages is a form of gay bashing and it would do nothing at all to protect traditional marriages."

"We have a lot more work to do in our common struggle against bigotry and discrimination. I say "common struggle" because I believe very strongly that all forms of bigotry and discrimination are equally wrong and should be opposed by right-thinking Americans everywhere. Freedom from discrimination based on sexual orientation is surely a fundamental human right in any great democracy, as much as freedom from racial, religious, gender, or ethnic discrimination."

"We have to launch a campaign against homophobia in the black community."
June 8, 2001

"Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood. This sets the stage for further repression and violence that spread all too easily to victimize the next minority group."
April 1, 1998
