CA: NOM Tries to Muddy the Water With Post on Prop 8 Judge's Impartiality

What's that adage about spin - say it long enough, hard enough, loud enough and eventually it will take on the cloak of truth? Well, the latest missive from National Organization Executive Director Brian Brown reads more like a fairy tale - showing that this Emperor has no clothes.

Brown's email to supporters was in response a San Francisco Chronicle column published Sunday ostensibly "outing" Judge Vaugn Walker - who was not in the closet. That bit of "news" was not really new - which blogger Michael Petrelis pointed out with a Cheshire cat grin since he was the one who first raised the issue publicly in July. Queerty picked it up as a stand-alone story, while other bloggers and reporters referenced it in passing or didn't feel it was relevant to Walker's ability to try the case. After all, if Walker's sexual orientation is an issue in him deciding an LGBT-related case, well then, what about a straight judge who's been divorced judging a case involving marital relations? Indeed, US Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas would have to recuse himself from any case involving gender equality or sexual harassment.

Here's Brown's email so I'm not accused of taking anything out of context- after which I'll have some fun with facts.
