Brian Camenker and Amy Contrada going further off the deep end...
Edited on Wed Nov-23-05 05:15 PM by IanDB1
The following is from the anti-gay hate group Article 8 Alliance (As seen on The Daily Show):

<snip>

The police.

When the police came, she explained that this might have some connection to a pattern of harassment by homosexual activists, and the cops were uninterested, but kept asking about neighbors who might dislike her and if family members agreed with her beliefs. They took a few fingerprints and left.

The next morning (Nov. 17) Amy got a call from her credit card company. Unusual charges had been made to her card, over the Internet on the day of the break-in. Not particularly expensive things, but strange things. She called the police again, but when she asked them to come back to fingerprint the file cabinet, they said it wasn't necessary, and that "if she wanted to she could come to the station and file a report."


At the police station on Sunday.

On Sunday she went to the police station to file a report on the stolen credit card number, so they could add this to their report on the break-in. The officer she spoke with became very hostile. He was angry, rude, and wouldn't let Amy finish a sentence without interrupting. When she asked to be treated better, he yelled at her and threatened to arrest her! At that point, she had her lawyer call the station and talk to a superior officer, but she ended up leaving, extremely distraught. Amy didn't realize she should have had a witness to protect her in her own police station.

And since then, the police haven't done any further investigation as far as she knows. And calls by her attorney to the Attorney General's office, to reopen the investigation of the earlier criminal harassment, have not been returned.


This group claims to have members across the state,
and works especially closely with police chiefs.


(Unfortunately, this kind of treatment is no longer uncommon. And worse, we were recently told that the police in Bedford in a conversation to a parent made reference to an "enemies list" of conservative parents who challenge the homosexual agenda in the school system.)

Pay No Attention To The Amy Behind the Curtain
This was also included in Article Hate's update:

GIVE ME A BREAK. Amy Contrada has been harassing and trying to intimidate lots of people, not just GLBT people ever since she started her blog. Yes, Amy is responsible for Massresistance. During her almost 12 months writing her blog she has published countless people's pictures and telephone numbers. She didn't even put up an email address on her blog until only a month or so ago. BTW, have you ever seen all the pictures over at the Article 8 website? They are quite handy with a camera (and a tape recorder I heard!). They have no problem snapping pictures of anyone at events but don't take their pictures, apparently that's intimidating. (Note: I do not publish the addresses or home telephone numbers of anyone on this blog. Anyone posting with such information will be deleted. This has been my policy from the start)

Bay Windows actually printed her name! Imagine, a newspaper actually printing the news (call Fox News!) because a reporter recognized her from a hearing AND the "Love Won Out" conference AND Massresistance: The Radio Show and put 3 and 3 together. (You notice how Article 8 never mentions Amy arguing with the police at the conference? Read the Bay Windows article)

And now they are blaming "homosexual activists" for stealing her credit cards and charging bizarre things to her accounts. Are you sure the charges weren't hers? This is the woman who was writing about how children learn about sex from listening to their parents do it in the next room.

2.  To Dream The Impossible Dream...

To Dream The Impossible Dream...

<snip>

Luckily, Article 8 are not professionals. Faced with desperate financial straits, Article “It's hard to make it any clearer: We REALLY need your financial support at this time” 8 has attempted to take a page from right’s book by scaring its base (all 15 of them) by concocting a homosexual conspiracy with their own Amy as the poor heroine. A regular Lady Liberty.

Apparently, we homosexuals have conspired with the Acton Police, the Attorney General, the Goodridge plaintiffs, and the entire Massachusetts Bar Association to break into her home in order to leave messages in the dust on her dusty table. Now, please do not misunderstand me (or, in Article 8’s case, distort what I write) --- breaking and entering is a crime and every person, including Ms. MassResistance, has the right to be safe and secure in their home --- but making Ms. Resistance out to be the embattled heroine to raise money; well, someone call Julie Andrews because I feel a musical coming on.

As I started this post, follow the money. Article 8’s principal and primary reason for existence is removal of the Justices; and even its sympathizers are realizing that that is never going to happen. (Another legislative session closed without even taking up Rep. Goguen’s bill.)

As the fringe few become even more desperate to hold on, they will need to find more and more reasons to be relevant. This show’s becoming to look more and more like Sunset Blvd every day:

You see, this is my life! It always will be! Nothing else!
Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!...

All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.
