For devoted Catholic and dedicated NOM employee Jennifer Roback Morse, Judas is the perfect label for those who come over to the right side of history:
"But the last [Illinois] legislators to come out at the final hour to dismantle the only institution we have that connects children with their parents are going to be very conspicuous. They will stand out as the ones who made gay marriage possible in Illinois. Their constituents, their neighbors, their fellow parishioners are entitled to ask them one very pointed question.Not only is it nasty rhetoric, but it's childish, too. Roback Morse knows that there are many people on the fence in this debate, and
What did they give you, Judas?"
—NOM's Jennifer Roback Morse, opining for Christian Post
she
knows that lawmakers reach conclusions on civil policy for many
different reasons. But instead of putting forth a reasoned musing on
the Illinois debate and how it might shake out, Ms. Roback Morse is
reducing the change agent to money or other capitalistic factors, and
she's boxing in and decrying anyone who sides with the growing majority
that supports civil marriage equality as being traitors on par with he
who betrayed Jesus Christ himself.Then again, longtime NOM Exposers will remember that NOM actually launched its national profile with a nasty billboard campaign that directly compared a Massachusetts state lawmaker to both Judas and Benedict Arnold:

It would seem that this particular insult is not only not new—it's actually quite fundamentally embedded within the NOM DNA.
