"Yes, that's what Ken Blackwell, the sketchy former Ohio Secretary of State who now has a good shot at running the Republican National Committee, told me a few months back, among some other very interesting and kooky things. It's a far cry from the days when the RNC was led by the 38-year-old "bachelor" of questionable sexual orientation, Ken Mehlman, but, according to The New York Times, Blackwell, a failed Ohio gubernatorial candidate who compared homosexuality to arson and kleptomania at the height of the campaign, may well be the RNC's next chair.
Because of the much-publicized racist eruption by one of the other six candidates over the holidays, Blackwell's supporters' efforts seem to be part of a twisted, laughable attempt to make the RNC appear "diverse" because Blackwell is African-American, even though he is a lockstep, antigay religious fundamentalist. The homos, after all, can still be publicly kicked around with glee:
Another candidate, Chip Saltsman, the Tennessee party chairman, was roundly criticized for distributing a holiday CD to party members that included a parody song called “Barack the Magic Negro.”
Some Republicans argued that electing a black chairman could prove helpful as the party struggles to rebuild."
RNC Chair Candidate: Homosexuality is a compulsion that can be contained, repressed or changed.
I have a foolproof Idiot Cure I'd like to put Kenneth Blackwell through.
well, he's black and you know how those people feel about the gays.
The Log Cabin Republicans should be ... so proud.
They're not allowed to feel pride, Marc...just self loathing.
