Internet Ads Go After Cheney's Daughter
WASHINGTON (AP) - A campaign to compel the vice president's lesbian daughter to oppose a proposed ban on gay marriage is launching its first Internet ad on Monday.

A series of simply animated cartoon panels features stick figures of Mary Cheney and Vice President Dick Cheney. One image reads, "Dick's daughter sold out to help Dick run again."

The story line refers to Mary Cheney's job as director of vice presidential operations for the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign. She held a public role as her father's assistant in the 2000 campaign and helped the GOP recruit gay voters during the 2002 midterm elections. She has been less visible this year while traveling with the vice president or working at campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va.

President Bush, meanwhile, has disturbed many gays, Republicans included, by asking Congress to move on a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage.

1. John Aravois is my new hero. He has been the impetutus behind these ads.
John Aravosis is behind the Dear Mary.com site, which started focusing attention on Mary Cheney, Dick's lesbian daughter and a traitor to the gay community. If Mary wants to be involved with the vicious homophobes in the Bush/Cheney campaign (and she is, since she's an active participant in the campaign), she should know that there will be consequences for that participation.

AND John Aravosis was also behind the stopdrlaura.com site, which forced hateful homophobe Laura Schlessinger's television show off the air.

I'm looking forward to seeing the ads. :-)

Terry
