a lot of bush supporters on the religious right wouldn't exactly go looking for that news. i find slight mentions of dick's earlier remarks "freedom is freedom" at family.org...and no mentions i can find from pat robertson.
now...its a fallacy to say that's all the media of the religious right, but it's not been a banner and headline issue for them. the leadership of those circles tends to put top priority on the 2004 election, and will try to sort out the small stuff afterwards. thus...for the rank and file, kerry or edward's mention of mary may have been the first time that was brought up for them.
it's unseemly to be queer and participate in the repression of other queers. Thanks, mary, for nothing. it's unseemly to have a queer daughter and to use her as political tool. Thanks Dick, for nothing. but it's also unseemly to overly emphasize that someone else has a queer daughter... Thanks John, for nothing on that one.
