What do Dick and Lynne Cheney, proud parents of lesbian daughter and gay-parent Mary, think of Kentucky GOP's gay-baiting?

For that matter, what does GOP Senator Larry "Wide Stance" Craig think? (I actually had to explain, and translate, "wide stance" for the Spanish - that was fun :-)

From TPM Election Central:

The state GOP is now sending a robo-call throughout the state featuring none other than Pat Boone, warning that as a Christian he is concerned that Democratic nominee Steve Beshear, who has been way ahead in the polls, will work for "every homosexual cause."

"Now do you want a governor who'd like Kentucky to be another San Francisco?" Boone asks. "Please re-elect Ernie Fletcher."

And at a campaign stop last night, the Lexington Herald-Leader reports, the Republican nominee for Lt. Governor made a direct attack upon the Democratic ticket: "Do you want a couple of San Francisco treats or do you want a governor?"

TPM Election Central also has the tape recording of the anti-gay robo-call.

I'm sorry, but the fact that the vice president's daughter, Mary, is a lesbian, and a lesbian parent to boot, makes this issue relevant for the White House and the national GOP. Does the White House, or does it not, endorse gay-baiting, Mary-Cheney baiting

PS For that matter, what does GOP Senator Lindsey DADT Graham think?



For the record, I'm not saying that Lindsey Graham IS gay. I'm just saying that I can't recall ever hearing a straight guy open his mouth and come off as quite as big a fag. (Nor can I recall many gay guys.)
