This is Why Conservatives are Called Bigots

Now some idiotic "family" group is lining up against Judge Roberts nomination. They call themselves Public Advocate of the United States and they seem like some small bigoted group. They sure are giving the conservatives a bad name though. They are opposing:

The Colorado gay rights case involved Amendment 2, a constitutional amendment approved by voters in 1992 that would have barred laws, ordinances or regulations protecting gays from discrimination by landlords, employers or public agencies such as school districts.

Gay rights groups sued, and the measure was declared unconstitutional in a 6-3 ruling by the Supreme Court in 1996.

Roberts' role in the case included helping develop a strategy and firing tough questions during a mock court session at Jean Dubofsky, a former Colorado Supreme Court justice who argued the case on behalf of the gay rights plaintiffs.

So he helped out the Colorado Supreme Court justice. That is a good thing for someone to do. He is such a good Christian that he is even helping his enemy. I guess this so called bigots rights group doesn't view it that way:

Arguments that Roberts' work on the case doesn't equal support for gay rights doesn't wash with Delgaudio. "Nobody's forced to help your opponents," he said. "I can't believe that a senior attorney would voluntarily help somebody he doesn't agree with. I don't believe it. It's not credible."

Um, love thine enemies and all that? I'm pretty sure there is something about that in the Bible but I guess this group doesn't read that book at all. I really think this kind of thing makes Conservatives look bad. Just because this judge was a good Christian and loved his enemies he is getting all support cut off from him. I hope this group gets ostracized from any Republican functions over this betrayal.
