Re: tinfoil hat,

It wouldn't surprise me. They did this with abortion rights. The American right used the topic to scare the evangelicals into becoming an ally. "Pro life" and all the rhetoric around calling abortion murder is nothing short of marketing genius. (Evil genius.) How can you even begin to respond to it? You can tell them that abortion isn't murder until you're blue in the face and even if you convince someone all they have to do is find folks on the fence and tell them "the left is murdering babies" and they're on board. It's so direct. Why would you want to side with the "baby murderers"? More importantly, why would you miss an election? The left are "murderers" sent by "demons" and will take office if you don't act.
