Here's a charming new tactic from the Bastard Right. From the Associated Press:
Campaign mail with a return address of the Republican National Committee warns West Virginia voters that the Bible will be prohibited and men will marry men if liberals win in November.
The literature shows a Bible with the word "BANNED" across it and a photo of a man, on his knees, placing a ring on the hand of another man with the word "ALLOWED." The mailing tells West Virginians to "vote Republican to protect our families" and defeat the "liberal agenda."
Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie said Friday that he wasn't aware of the mailing, but said it could be the work of the RNC. "It wouldn't surprise me if we were mailing voters on the issue of same-sex marriage," Gillespie said.
Yeah, douchebag. It wouldn't surprise me either.
Clearly, the idea here is to take the most outlandish, fearful lie possible and subject comparatively uneducated people to it in an effort to scare the piss out of them. Maybe the DNC should flood West Virginia with a mailer saying, "George W. Bush is going to kill your grandma" because of his position on stem-cell research. Or how about, "Republicans want to touch your penis" with pictures of Ed Schrock. Or why not just go with, "NAMBLA Endorses Former Member Bush"? Why even try linking the story with fact? That's the way they always do it.
Yeah, I'm kidding. I think.
Freep the article, by the way. You know the drill. Don't let this swill get high ratings.
