File under bigoted asswipe: Columnist: Watch Out, Tammy Baldwin Is a 'Radical Lesbian'

Wisconsin Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin is once again being attacked as a "radical lesbian."

A columnist for The Washington Times, known for its conservative bent, penned a column on Wednesday headlined, "Radical lesbian knocking on Senate door." Jeffrey Kuhner warned that, "Wisconsin’s voters are poised to break new ground on the cultural front: electing the first openly lesbian U.S. senator. This would mark a watershed for the homosexual movement — and a major blow against traditional America."

That Baldwin is a lesbian led Kuhner to argue she wants to "advance the destructive sexual revolution of the 1960s

"Ms. Baldwin has made no secret of her lesbian lifestyle," he writes breathlessly. "She is a vocal supporter of gay pride and the LGBT community. She told the liberal Huffington Post that her Senate candidacy is historic. Ms. Baldwin stressed that 'breaking through these glass ceilings has a ripple effect.' In other words, her election would — and should — encourage other avowed gays and lesbians to enter high office."

2. Extreme is the meme for Tammy, Crossroads is using it for her supporting Universal HealthCare

Crossroads materials suggest both Pelosi and Obama found Baldwin too extreme to work with...

Oh well, at least 44% of WI prefers a old angry drunk who personally profitted from his role in the Bush admin being repaid a small fortune (13 million) for pushing the sweatheart deal that bans Medicare drug price negotiaions.

I read a few things he wrote at the wash. times.
And WHOOOHOOO this guy is out there.
I cannot believe people listen to this much less BELIEVE IT!.
I would vote to commit him to an asylum for evaluation, as he is the biggest, loudest chicken little I've ever seen.
He needs help, like, now.

Jill Biden went out to Waukesha to campaign with her yesterday.

This would be a great win!

If his had wasn't up some secretary's skirt, it was in some road construction mogul's pocket.
