Miss Calif. Pageant Officials Blast Family Groups

clipped from christianpost.com

Miss California pageant officials denounced conservative groups for placing Carrie Prejean in a position where she could lose her title.

"Shame, shame, shame," Keith Lewis, co-director of the Miss California USA pageant, said at a press conference Monday as he directed his message to organizations that took Prejean "into their fold."

"Shame for taking this young woman and exploiting her to further your own agenda; shame for not preparing her for the firestorm you knew you were creating; and most of all shame for doing it all the while knowing that you placed her in a position where she stood to possibly lose her crown not for her beliefs as you so screamed but for the breach of contract you so willingly encouraged," said a visibly upset Lewis.

In the interview, the beauty pageant queen told Dobson that she has no regrets over her response during the Miss USA competition despite the persecution and insults that followed and losing the national title.
