”The Proposition 8 campaign has had a record of shameful lies and trying to trick voters. This is yet another example of that.”
Fred Sainz, a spokesperson for the effort to fight against Proposition 8 in California, reacting to a new flyer targeting black voters that could easily give them the impression that Obama endorses the anti-gay marriage voter initiative. The flyer uses the Democratic presidential candidate’s photo and portions of quotes that indicate Obama is against gay marriage. (San Jose Mercury News)
