Playing the Bigot Card

The left has figured out how to successfully push through its agenda by using one simple tactic: demonizing the right.

Instead, we naively think we can stick to debating the substance of issues and the truth will win out.

They launched a clever ad campaign with glamorous, photoshopped pictures of celebrities in white wearing No H8 stickers on their faces and duct tape over their mouths. The approach worked, and the movement picked up steam. Support for same-sex marriage increased from 27 percent in 1996 to 60 percent this year, culminating in last week's sweeping U.S. Supreme Court decision.
