You're forgetting the critical role played in the Simon fiasco by so-called "pro-family organizations." Instead of finding out what the situation actually was, they simply stepped into attack.

And of course... That was the plan.

That's like blaming the fire department for rushing to a fire. Be fair! That release came from Simon's office. It took Simon about a week to get the facts out, that he did not author the document. He was wrestling with the PR side of denying it... The media was waiting with bated breath to put out the headline "Simon, the homophobe, denies survey!".

He was put into a lose-lose situation by a LCR posing as a Republican.
