Counterspin Central brings this prime example of gay-baiting to our attention.


"Democrat Bill McBride's gubernatorial campaign accused Republican Gov. Jeb Bush's campaign Monday of producing a misleading telephone message that implies McBride supports gay marriage.

But the Bush campaign denied that the calls were approved by the campaign and said they were the work of the former head of the Christian Coalition of Florida, who had been hired as a private contractor by the Republican Party of Florida.

The recorded phone message by Republican strategist, Ralph Reed, former head of the national Christian Coalition, urges potential Florida voters to choose Bush because "he is the only candidate who is pro-life, and the only candidate who supports traditional marriage."

The message ends with "This call is paid for on behalf of Jeb Bush Campaign, Republican."



oooh that Ralph Reed needs a good cockpunching.
