Newsweek profiles NOM's Brian Brown like he's some type of Media Darling

 Look at this mess! Newsweek showcases Brian Brown as a charming, dapper gentleman.

See here:
Brown would make a good politician. An Oxford graduate, he’s extremely polished, the kind of campaign leader who sticks faithfully to such benign-sounding talking points as “good-hearted people can have ideas that are profoundly wrong.” He mostly tries to avoid demonizing gays and lesbians: NOM ads invoke Martin Luther King Jr., the right to free speech, and the right to vote, not quotes from Leviticus. “Emotions run high on this issue, and people can be vitriolic. I never have to worry about that with Brian,” says Kevin Smith of Cornerstone Action, a nonprofit group working with Brown to overturn gay marriage in New Hampshire. Even Brown’s opponents begrudgingly give him props.

“He is the perfect president because he’s the Oxford-trained Catholic who can spin, spin, spin,” says Arisha Hatch of the Courage Campaign, an online organization for progressives, who tapes Brown’s events and posts them online as fuel for gay activists. “When he doesn’t have an answer, he will debate how the question was posed.”

Oh Newsweek, I know you're hurting for readers, but to highlight a bigot and a liar is too much!
