Republican Senators Smear Anti-Bullying Campaign | In a cheap attempt to deflect attacks from Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) for not participating in the Massachusetts congressional delegation’s “It Gets Better” video, the National Republican Senatorial Committee attacked the project’s founder, Dan Savage, as “lewd, violent, and anti-Christian.” As Savage pointed out in a response, he is “not the IGB project,” and moreover, “not a single GOP elected official can bring himself or herself to make a video.” Perhaps the NRSC is proud to have avoided “keeping company” with Savage, or perhaps Senate Republicans have no interest in preventing bullying whatsoever — whether in schools or the national press.
