House Speaker appoints extremist NOM founder and Manhattan Declaration author to U.S. Commission for International Religious Freedom

Robert George is the author of the "Manhattan Declaration" which exhorts signers to ignore laws which prohibit discrimination against LGBT people and which was twice rejected by Apple as an iPhone app. He is also a cofounder of the National Organization for Marriage and was appointed by House Speaker John Boehner to the U.S. Commission for International Religious Freedom, on the very day that documents unsealed by the State of Maine unleashed a storm of criticism about NOM's creepy behind-the-scenes tactics.
