Illinois GOP caves to religious right interloper with history of pushing Holocaust revisionism

The Cook County (Chicago) GOP, responding to criticism from family values interloper Peter LaBarbera (who moved to Illinois from the east coast after promoting anti-gay bigotry with both the religious right Family Research Council and the Concerned Women for America), pulled their support for the upcoming Gay Games in Chicago.

Funny that the Cook County GOP is willing to listen to a guy who's past includes peddling Holocaust revisionist writings. LaBarbera's former publication, The Lambda Report, had no problem repeatedly pushing literature claiming that gays were behind the Holocaust, when in fact gays were victims of the Holocaust. HateWatch's executive director at the time, David Goldman, who had the distinct honor of being on a top 20 "to be killed" list put together by white supremacist groups, said that what LaBarbera was peddling absolutely fell under the category of Holocaust revisionism. Then why was LaBarbera, a "family values" kind of guy, peddling Holocaust revisionism?

And why is it that GOP commissioners in Cook County, Chicago, are willing to be in bed with someone who tried to peddle lies about the Holocaust? Wonder how their constituents feel about that?

I'm just asking.
