Atrios just posted this text of an ad being used by a homophobe running for a Republican congressional seat in North Carolina (you'll recall I wrote about this creep earlier). Man that state seems awfully busy tripping over itself to see who can be the bigger homophobe. And, let's not forget, it's the home of Jesse Helms. What gives?
HOST: This episode of Congressional Jeopardy is paid for by Vernon Robinson for Congress . Today's topic -- homosexual rights! This feminist voted to create special rights for homosexuals and took money from the radical gayPACs.
CONTESTANT 1: [Rings in] Alright, it's a, who is Senator Hillary Clinton?
[BUZZER] HOST: Oh no, I'm sorry. We were looking for Senator Virginia Foxx. Virginia Foxx did that. As a Wake Forest Trustee, this bankrupt businessman let two lesbians get married in broad daylight in the campus church.
CONTESTANT 2: [Rings in] That's Jay Helvey. Who is Jay Helvey?
HOST: You are correct! This other bankrupt businessman brags that he's a tolerant Republican - a code word for gay-friendly. As an Appalachian State Trustee, he let the school sponsor a transvestite drag show.
CONTESTANT 3: [Rings in] Ugh. Who is Ed Broyhill?
HOST: That's right! When the United Way attacked the Boy Scouts for their ban on gay scoutmasters, this courageous conservative successfully defended the Boy Scouts.
CONTESTANT 4: [Rings in] Vernon Robinson. Everybody knows that. Who is City Councilman Vernon Robinson?
[BELL] HOST: Yes, the real conservative! Vernon Robinson: I'm Vernon Robinson and I approved this message because I will fight for our conservative values in Congress just as I have at City Hall.
