Eyman Courts Evangenicals

Posted by on May 20 at 16:37 PM

…for help in oppressing the gays. From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:

Using a page torn from the Karl Rove playbook, initiative salesman Tim Eyman has turned to a network of evangelical churches to help repeal the gay-rights law that the Legislature passed this spring…Eyman is banking on an eleventh-hour surge from as many as 5,400 churches he hopes will participate in “Referendum Sunday.”

“[T]his weekend nearly 500,000 voters are going to hear about and talk about our effort to get a public vote on House Bill 2661,” Eyman wrote in an e-mail sent to the media and supporters. “They’ll be asked to not only sign the petition, but to take petitions home and fill them up and return them next Sunday.”

He's such a pig. But does he still sell those fraternity watches out of his garage?

I don't know about Eyman's extracurricular business activities.

But I just got back from the Cap Hill Trader Joe's, where I saw a tall, nice-looking man in a sleeveless white T-shirt emblazoned with the words FUCK TIM EYMAN.

More, please.

Jesus god, I'd rather cut my dick off with pruning shears than fuck Tim Eyman.

Oh wait, I get ya.

Eyman is a strawman folks. The real story is much deeper. Check out what Microsoft employee Ralph Reed, Mercer Island Rabbi Daniel Lapin, and of course Seattle Lawfirm founded by Bill Gate's father are doing for gay rights in Washington.


But of course The Stranger is afraid to go poking around Microsoft.
