Rep. Fears 'Radical Homosexual Agenda'

FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- Republican Rep. Marilyn Musgrave sent a mass e-mail Friday seeking campaign money to fight what she called a "radical homosexual agenda" to oust her because she sought a constitutional ban on gay marriage.

The letter from the first-term congresswoman cited television ads from a group calling itself Coloradans for Plain Talk, which receives financial support from a software entrepreneur, a state Board of Education member and a health care heiress. One ad shows a Musgrave look-alike stealing a watch from a corpse while referring to her vote against barring nursing homes from charging fees after a patient dies.

Musgrave said she was targeted for introducing the gay-marriage amendment proposal in Congress, where it has stalled.

"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," the e-mail said.

Always appealing to the homophobes and fear mongering about terra....lucky for them there's a lot of stoopid people out there who buy into it. I hope not enough.....

2. To people like her homosexuals are the real enemy. It plays to the

Repub base very well. Making this a wedge issue negates all the things that should be looked at in this election. Dirty tricks, thy name is Republican.

3. You know

I hate these motherfuckers. It's bigoted assholes like this scummy woman that are at the root of just about all the problems we have here. I can't WAIT for the rapture if it rids us of these stinking scumbags.

4. She must be REALLY powerful

"Leaders of the homosexual lobby know if they can take me out, no one will stand against them in the future"

That line above shows one of two things:

1) Ms Musgrave is either a VERY paranoid person or

2) She wields more power then I and others have thought because she is the ONLY barrier that homosexuals have for being accepted in this country.

I love when people make themselves out to be more then they are :)

5. Right, she's attacked for being a typical

screw the working people, the poor, the elderly and children GOPer and it must be those mean old queens trying to rob her of her rightful, god-decreed place in office.

I don't know what's more offensive with these people, the bigotry, the stupidity, or the hypocrisy.
