Musgrave Claims Gay Vendetta
(Fort Collins, Colorado) Saying she has a "bull's eye" on her back, Colorado GOP Rep. Marilyn Musgrave has sent an emergency mass e-mail begging conservatives nationwide for money to help her combat the "radical homosexual agenda" that is trying to oust her from office.

Musgrave, whose campaign against Democrat Stan Matsunaka has featured a series of colorful ads, said she has been declared public enemy No. 1 because she introduced the proposed constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage. The measure recently stalled in Congress. (story)

"Leaders of the homosexual lobby know if they can take me out, no one will stand against them in the future. I have no other choice but to ask for urgent help from pro-family Americans like you," Musgrave said in the e-mail.

The message was distributed on the mailing list of the Traditional Values Coalition, a Washington, D.C.-based conservative Christian group with a history of opposing gay rights initiatives. The Rev. Louis Sheldon, chairman of the group that says it has 43,000 member churches, said Musgrave should be applauded for taking the lead on protecting the sanctity of marriage.

See what happens when you piss off a bunch of queens. Oh by the way these are not "activist judges" but voters!

3. I know. What a conspiracy nut-job bitch she is.
Some people say those commercials were in bad taste, but showing her in a combat zone, her high heals tripping over rubble, to pick the pocket of a soldier, and stuff his money into her purse, is the BEST political ad I have ever seen...and she deserves it! :D

I hope Stan Matsunaka wins against Marylin Must-go!

4. When was hate and intolerance a traditional American value? OH
I forgot, throughout history hate has been used to gain political footing on the back of slaves, women, Jews, and now gays. When will civilized people be in office? These religious zealots need to go and Musgrave being a women is the biggest hypocritical stance yet! Musgrave needs to ask for her congregation to pray for her to have a heart of love instead of hate.

God: Save me from your followers.

5. What exactly is the "homosexual agenda"? Or for that matter
"Gay Values"? Tim Michaels, a wingnut running against Feingold in Wisconsin, keeps using this phrase. He never explains it. Thinly veiled homophobia has no place in campaigns, but there it is. What are Log Cabin Republicans thinking?

9. Oh, Musky, we don't hate you for your homophobia...
We hate you because you're an ineffective twit with monomania.

You have done NOTHING for your district. You've lost us several million dollars in badly needed highway funding because you were too busy barking up some lesbian tree. You have not worked within the system to help bring job-retraining funds, agricultural support or even water rights mediation reform to Northern Colorado because you're obsessed with preserving the 12 minute life span of anencephalic fetuses.

You have been a two note tweeter... Baaaybies and homerseckshuls. Get over yourself. No one cares about your little Obsessive Compulsive manias. There are practically no abortions in your district because there are no abortion clinics in your region! Women have to drive at least an hour to get to a clinic in Boulder. And none of the GLBT community would be twisted enough to set foot in your sick, sycophantic church so don't worry that we're going to force you to marry us.

No one wants to shoot you. Wanna know why? You're not worth the lead. Give up, shut up, and go the fuck back to cleaning houses and waiting tables where ignorant tw@ts like you do best.
