Anti-Gay Bigots in Red Capes Re-Write Their Poll to Change Results
Men in red capes (Freep this poll). UPDATE

Mon Aug 16, 2010 at 10:03:30 AM PDT

A recent addition to the NOM bus tour (against same-sex marriage) are the clean cut young men in their oh-so-attractive red capes and gold heraldic lion brooches. They're from American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (more below).

Now they have a poll up that asks: "What do you think about Judge Walker's decision to overturn Prop. 8 banning same-sex "marriage" in California?"

<snip>

BREAKING UPDATE!!! 4:00 pm PDT

I guess they didn't like losing--THEY REWROTE THE POLL TEXT MID-POLL!

As of an hour ago, the results looked like this:



Now they've changed the text and the results look like this:



They have eliminated the original Undecided category (compare the bold sections) and rewritten the text SO THEY WIN!!!

4. It wasn't the Undecided category they eliminated
it was The I Support the Decision that was removed...and undecided put where the It is an irrational decision was...Rather they just moved each catagory up one after removing the Support one...

5. thanks for saying it for me. and who wants to bet their own morans were voting "I support it"
originally thinking "sure, I support prop H8!"... ha. A biased website like that isn't going to garner many free thinkers, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Sheesh, not only do not understand the constitution, they don't even understand their own fairy tales.
