... politicians and pundits (Hillary Clinton anyone? Ann Coulter? Carrie Prejean? Janet Reno? Even Anita Bryant back in the 1970s.) Funny thing, by the way, that gets me as I look at the list is it’s not so much the person’s looks (for instance Condaleeze Rice is conventionally attractive but rarely targeted) or their degree of partisanship (For instance “Dr. Laura”...

So I’m surfing the web while waiting for my toenail polish to dry, and there’s more on Carrie Prejean, who Republican America saw as the next Anita Bryant. I think it was unfair to put her on the spot with a loaded political question while she was competing in a beauty pageant. Honestly, if there’s [...]

... enough about her personal failings. Belying her shellacked outer shell, more reminiscent to me of Anita Bryant than Tina Fey, Palin confesses a not-ready-for-prime-time horror at Trig’s Down syndrome diagnosis and relates at least one fairly satisfying campaign trail fight with husband Todd. As opposed to Bush’s post-Yale reinvention of himself as a Texas cowboy, Palin doesn’t seem...

... state with an out-right ban on adoptions by gays and lesbians. It was adopted in the heyday of Anita Bryant's anti-gay crusade back in the 1970's and has been overturned by several state courts as unconstitutional.

Even though we lost, we were given a rare forum to introduce ourselves to the American people. In 1978, California voters defeated the Briggs Initiative, which would have banned gay schoolteachers, showing that victory was attainable. But...

As a young man in the 1970’s he protested Anita Bryant’s anti-gay campaign (at the time, not a very popular thing to protest in the white community, let alone the African-American community). As a state senator he helped stall the passage of a hate-crimes bill, from 1987 to 2000, until it included protections for gays and...

She continues, "I was not then, nor am I now, aspiring to be the next Anita Bryant. I am comfortable with all God's children. Civil unions between gay people, at least as a matter of law, have always been fine with me. If asked, I would have told you that I believed that gay couples should have visiting rights in the hospital, just like everybody else." [] In the book Carrie Prejean also...

However, since the days of Anita Bryant, anti-gay supporters have been heavily criticized for falsifying facts under the guise of morality. The detriment of family values and children are often mentioned when communicating with voters, even when facts prove otherwise. For instance, anti-gay groups in Maine are using the...

And yet that's exactly what he's now doing. In a move that's even more painfully...
