NOM Bears False Witness — Chicago Bears Call NOM Claims About Support ‘False’
The Chicago Bears were none too pleased when Equality Matters, Dan Savage, and LGBT activists asked if indeed they are supporters of the National Organization For Marriage.
“The two items featured in The Ruth Institute gala invitation were personal donations to Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse,” the Bears said, almost immediately, in a statement. “Neither was a club donation, nor do they represent the team’s view on any social issues. Any remarks stating otherwise are false.”
And almost immediately also, Jennifer Roback Morse was forced to issue a statement:
“The Ruth Institute is not working with the Chicago Bears organization or any of its players past or present to promote our upcoming auction. The memorabilia we are auctioning off was acquired by me personally, not through the team or players. We understand that the Chicago Bears organization takes no position on social issues, and we regret any confusion we may have caused on this point.”
Let’s say that again: ”We regret any confusion we may have caused on this point.” In other words, once again, it would seem NOM lied. Only this time, they got caught and realized the consequences because they are dealing with an organization far bigger than they are, far more influential than they are, and far more able to sway the national conversation against them.
Classic... I can smell the stink from here.
