Interesting email I got today, pitching a new book by one of the lawyers who tried to stop this gay Massachusetts debacle from happening.
Dear Fellow Conservative:
You're probably not aware that unfair efforts by the New York Times Company helped force gay marriage upon Massachusetts. My new book.... clearly documents their scheme.
I believe that the New York Times has morphed into an extremist, bigoted, biased paper. Even my liberal friends were distraught when they read proofs of the book and saw their icon being destroyed before their eyes. They were dismayed....
...The Times managed to wiggle out last summer when the Jayson Blair scandal took them to their knees. The latest news will be the coup de grace.
Their plan is for Massachusetts to be first in a strategy to spread gay marriage across the entire nation! This fascinating story will provide you the information you need to explain why the New York Times empire is out to destroy the traditional family -- in cooperation with the most extreme of the feminists and homosexual activists.
For example, the Massachusetts judge who finally imposed gay marriage last week, Margaret Marshall, is the wife of the Times radical columnist Anthony Lewis. She gained office in 1999, only after intense backing from the Times subsidiary, the Boston Globe.
As attorney for Mass. Citizens for Marriage since its founding in 2000, I watched in disbelief as the Times and the Globe lied and libeled the group 16 times in order to stop their Constitutional Amendment from going to a referendum in 2004. That vote of the people would have prevented Marshall from imposing gay marriage or civil unions. I was before the state Supreme Court arguing about marriage four times in recent months and deserve some credit for the three dissenting judges, who were brilliant!
Even so, I didn't understand a lot of the puzzle until last spring, because I didn't know anything about the family who owns the Times. Nobody can deny any of my facts because nobody knows better than I what happened in this state in the last four years. As far as the Times is concerned, I did not discover the dots. I only connected them from what is revealed in the many excellent books about the paper. The man who bought the newspaper in 1896 was an honorable person who built it into a national treasure before dying in 1935. Since his death, it has been run like a family shoe store by the Sulzberger family with everyone helping to decide the editorial policy. Everything bounced quietly along until the great grandson of the founder, Arthur O. Sulzberger, Jr., grabbed control of the media giant in the 1980s.
There is no better way to describe Sulzberger than the way his family does: "WEIRD."
Even his father hesitated to name him as head of the conglomerate. Since his teenage years, he's had a fascination with homosexuality. He says that his ancestors, including his father, were all homophobes and he is out to erase that. He is using the Times to accomplish his personal goal. He lied and betrayed his father many times on that issue.
Do not take my word for the fact that this message will shake our entire nation. Read the facts yourself to see how Sulzberger lied and libeled in order to get his way, like a spoiled child having a tantrum.
This is the best chance we've had in years to crumble the liberal media. We must stop wringing our hands and take the offense. Let's do it!!!
Sincerely, Attorney J. Edward Pawlick

A similar news piece appeared in the Feb. 4 edition of The Wanderer . According to their story, it was indeed Margaret Marshall who cast the deciding vote! There are no links to that story.
Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list
FYI - Lewis retired from the NY Times at least a few years ago.
This guy related to Lawyer J. Noble Daggett? ;-)
