Bigoted! The First Resort Weapon of the Left

The New York Daily News reports on a rally of several hundred gay rights advocates at the New York State Capitol, there to push the state's governor and legislature to neuter marriage. The New York legislature wisely chose in 2009 not to pass same sex marriage legislation, keeping with the wishes of a majority of New Yorkers.

In expressing his solidarity with the cause, New York Senator Tom Duane, "the only openly gay state senator," decided that the root reasons same sex marriage didn't pass in New York "was a combination of 'a homophobic cesspool Senate' that is 'filled with people lacking courage.'" (New York Daily News)

Note Duane's tactic here, one we see ad nauseum among the left. The first resort weapon of the left is to attempt to polarize targets by name calling and labeling (Alinsky). Nowadays, being called a bigot/racist/homophobe is an immediate indicator to conservatives that we're on the right track in hampering the bankrupt policies of the left. It's also an indicator that leftists have lost the argument.

Congratulations to the New York Senate for getting labeled by Senator Duane.

And congratulations to Senator Duane for resorting to name calling. You're a true member of the institutional left.
