A Conservative candidate who actually believes Adam and Eve were sharing forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden 6,000 years ago is being criticized for controversial remarks about gay marriage.

The federal Liberals say comments by Rondo Thomas, who hopes to represent the Toronto-area riding of Ajax-Pickering, at a protest last February demonstrate "intolerant views about same-sex relationships and homosexuality."

The Liberals, desperate to reverse a Conservative surge in the polls by playing on voter doubts about Tory tolerance, released a video Tuesday showing Thomas speaking to supporters about the looming battle over same-sex marriage.

"There is going to be a clash of morality views between those who believe in righteousness and those who believe in immorality and when we collide there is going to be conflict," Thomas says.

2. The only thing that worries me about this is that...American wingnuts

vowed to make this a stealth campaign against the Liberals because of marriage equality in Canada, and said months ago they would mount campaigns in ridings with far right candidates who have the religiously "correct" moral compass. I wish the Liberals would focus directly on each of those individuals, but I fear time is too quickly running out here.
