Anonymous goons attempt to make bigotry pay in New York politics

So I received a robo-call today from a woman purporting to work for a gay magazine (I believe the name she put forward was “Gay Magazine,” which was very imaginative). She declared cheerfully that her publication was endorsing Brian Foley–a Democrat running for State Senate–because he supports legalizing gay marriage in New York. “So if you want gay marriage in New York, vote for Brian Foley!”

I checked with Foley’s office and they’d already heard about it, confirming that there’s no such endorsement. It’s an obvious dirty tricks stunt endeavoring to stoke the fears and bigotry of credulous voters by floating the “specter” of gay marriage being legalized in New York.

Unbelievable.
