The Gay Blade posted an excellent, top-rated analysis of Hillary Clinton's campaign launch video.
In the comments, SouthernLeveller posted his own noteworthy addition to the diary:
I think they won't just slam Hillary on Monday, they'll be stupid enough to put down the folks on the video. Not by implication as you suggest, but DIRECTLY!
Think about all of the other victim-blaming the GOP has done in the past. Christ, they've done character assassinations of murder victims, rape victims, grieving mothers, even children. Anyone who criticizes them gets the full treatment.

Who remembers this shameful episode from Bill O'Reilly and FOX News?
O'Reilly renewed 2003 attack on Jeremy Glick, son of 9-11 victim
Hell, remember "Adriana", the woman in the home page photo of Healthcare.Gov in 2013 (when the site launched and had horrible technical issues)? She was just a pleasant-looking lady who agreed to have her photos used on the site (she wasn't even paid for it). They tore her to shreds.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the GOP starts mocking the people in Hillary's video for no other reason than...that they appeared in the video.
Now, if these folks happen to be professional actors, that might be worth noting, but even then, unlike the bullshit lies spewed by actors in anti-Obamacare ads, nothing that any of these folks have to say is even remotely controversial. "My brother and i are starting a new business" or "My 5-year old is starting kindergarten next year" aren't exactly eyebrow-raising statements.
I suspect that none of that will stop the GOP from turning their guns on these folks. They can't help themselves.
UPDATE: ok, here we go...the gay couple getting married have been interviewed by ABC News already...no doubt the jackals are pouncing as I type this...
