The National Organization for Marriage won't take civil rights support from republican leaders in Illinois lying down (they prefer doggy style, we hear). In response to Wednesday's big news that Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady has thrown his weight behind marriage equality, NOM has pledged $250,00 to his defeat as well as the defeat of any pro-gay GOPer in the state.

NOM whines on its blog:

The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today pledged to form an Illinois state PAC and spend $250,000 defeating Republican legislators who vote in support of same-sex 'marriage' in Illinois, just like the group successfully did in New York. The group also called on state Republican Chairman Pat Brady to resign or be removed from office for violating the national GOP platform and urging state Republicans to redefine marriage.

"Any Republican in Illinois who betrays the cause of marriage will be casting a career-ending vote and will be held accountable to their constituents," said Brian Brown, NOM's president. "We will spend whatever it takes — hundreds of thousands of dollars if necessary — to remove them from office, just as we did three of the four turncoat Republican state Senators in New York who were responsible for gay 'marriage' passing there. We will not hesitate to support pro-family Democrats to replace them, as our record in New York proves."

As NOM's record proves in New York, the in-fighting and threats did nothing to prevent civil rights from passing in that state.
