Tampa Bay
Coalition Dis-Honors, Virginia Republican Candidate
for
Lieutenant
Governor, Jay Katzen with the "What an Ignoramus
Award"
The Republicans
have launched a vicious and fierce advertising campaign attempting to portray Virginia
Democratic
candidates as champions of gay rights and gay
marriage. In their campaign, it is clear they
have no qualms
about inciting
hatred of gays if it advances their efforts against Democrats. VA candidate:
blatantly ignorant
remarks and statements made
regarding homosexuality to the news media. With such
statements quoted
in the news media as: "AIDS is the
result of people choosing to be homosexuals,"
and "AIDS is
the product,
sadly, in most cases of a choice that people have made and we recognize that
homosexuality is a
choice. It's a lifestyle with public health
consequences."

The Republicans
Gay Hate=Votes Campaign Intenseifies
Sept.10: As
usual, the GOP slings their mud like only they can, distorting the records of
their Democratic rivils
and working overtime at
inciting gay hatred. They are always using the word liberal as though it so evil and
condemn anyone who
is. I certainly think that the words Hate Mongers, Bigots and Hypocrites are
much more
evil than liberal.
Republicans should spend more time reading, less time thumping and waving the
Bible. Perhaps
then they would
learn what is truly evil. I am the most outraged at their filtly politics, than
ever before. And to see
people cheer and
agree with their tatics, it is just so distressing, I want to scream. OK, with
that said again, here
outraged as I,
there are email addresses listed in these posts. Don't let this campaign of hate
go unchalanged,
give em
hell.
Republicans
Taunting, Gay Baiting and Playing the Gay gate Card in Ads.
September 7: The
Republicans cease to amaze me as to just how low they will stoop in the pursuit
of their agenda.
They speak of the high
moral values they believe in and they tcare about doing what's right for the people and the
country. Yet,
remain blatantly committed to the
premise of, what ever it takes, who ever it hurts, who ever may suffer,
truth be damed,
their agenda must succeed. Should the will of
the people, clearly oppose the direction they wish our
country to go.
They will turn a deaf ear to our voices and dismiss our will. Their constant
retort, we know what's best
and do what ever
the hell they want. Experts at the three "D's", deception, deceit and distortion in the pursuit of
perpetuating the
Republican will and control
of our government. This tiade is because of the Republicans
ant-gay
attacks
in Virginia and
playing the gay hate card. They are attempting to incite hatred of gays and
create a hostle
enviorment
in the minds of
the voters in Virginia of gays. By succeeding at this, their ad campaign of
portraying
Democratic
candidates as
extremist liberals, who are pro-gay, supporters of gay rights and
unions/marriages, will
cost Democrats
votes. Their
catch phrase or
slogan, Republicans support "Virginia Values" not "Vermont Values"
shows they feel
playing the gay hate card
will work in their
favor. I believe the voters of Virginia are not going to base
their votes on
hate. I hope this attempt to win an election by inciting hatred by
the Republicans, blows up in their faces
and will
come back to haunt
them. This is a
despicable display of politics at it's dirtiest. This campaign of hatred for

notified Jay "Hate
Monger" Katzen that he was the
recipient of TBC's
Ignoramous Award. No responces received as of yet.
