Jay-sus. It's good to know that the batsh*ttery spewers like William Tam are getting a big legal spanking during Perry v. Schwarzeneggar. Called as a hostile witness, Tam is forced to face his charges — and it's not pretty, since most reality-based people, even those who do no agree with marriage equality, don't want to be aligned with this:
A proponent of California’s same-sex marriage ban testified Thursday that he thinks gays are more likely to be pedophiles and that allowing them to wed would lead to efforts to lower the age at which teenagers can legally have sex with adults.…Proposition 8 sponsors have tried to distance themselves from Tam, even though his name appeared alongside ballot arguments for the measure in voter information pamphlets during the 2008 campaign.
In federal court, attorney David Boies spent time walking Tam through a Web site for a Chinese-American evangelical Christian group that featured a headline reading “Studies Show That Homosexuality Is Linked to Pedophilia.”
…”Do you believe that homosexuals are 12 times more likely to molest children?” the lawyer continued.
“Yeah, based on the different literature that I have read,” Tam replied.
Boies pressed Tam to cite books, articles or authors he had read to substantiate the views, but Tam said he could not remember specifics.
PWNED. That theory had already been debunked in court earlier, during the testimony of a Cambridge University professor.
And what did the attorney for the Prop H8 forces, Andy Pugno, have to say about Tam, who was an official backer of the discriminatory ballot initiative? It was if Tam had just passed gas in the room — and Pugno was running for the exit. “He had next to nothing” to do with the campaign.

After which he whineshe felt like a “naughty schoolboy” being sent to the front of the schoolroom to be mocked. He couldn’t produce any backup for his spew except for “somebody read it on the internet and I believed them.”
Ain’t that rich. ”It was on dah innertoobs so it must be troo.” That’s some defense of a position. (NOW I’m mocking you. But you weren’t being mocked on the stand. See the difference? I doubt it. But ample demonstration may make the difference clear.)
No, Tam, you weren’t being mocked yesterday; you were only “yes or no” did you stand by the batshittery that had your name all over it. If you want to see what being mocked looks like, we can show you what that really is. Hide and watch. Keep posting batshit and we’ll keep calling you out.
Oh, and what else was rich: he posted the “gay marriage will cause sibling marriage, incest, and cause kids to fantasize about whether they’ll marry a boy or a girl when they grow up” batshittery in the Chinese papers because he was sure nobody would read it and call him out on it. ”I didn’t think I’d have to face a lawyer,” he whined.
Well, oops. Busted. Somebody did read it, did translate it, did call his sorry hind-end on it, and guess what: he had to face a lawyer.
Life’s a bitch when you’re a lying, scheming, sneaky, underhanded bigot, idnit.
*thumbs up* HW!Yeah, what he said! LOL
Like I keep saying everywhere, they’re cowards. If you’re going to open your mouth, you better have your big boy drawers. This isn’t for children or those who get their information off the Internet.
My favorite part was when Tam was pressed about academic sources and he said “news…journalists.”
I nearly fell out on the floor with that one and he got a big ol’ “OH NO HE DIDN’T” on my FB page. You could almost hear Pugno and the other Prop H8′ers groaning way over here in TN! ROFL
GAYS: PEDOPHILES BLACK MEN: RAPISTS (especially white women)
It’s the same thing.
What HillWilliam said.Go on with your bad self!
Tam’s Testimonywas a total gift to opponents of Prop. 8 is all I can say. What a total moron! It seems to me that he had nothing to base his claims on and used scare tactics to coerce people into voting for Prop. 8. He is a disgusting and low person.
“I said I felt like naughty boy being put in front of a classroom and being mocked at,”Wow that must have felt bad. Unfortunately I haven’t experienced anything similar so I have no idea what you went through. [/sarcasm]
