Update: The Virginia Partisans have responded and issued a challange:
Call to Action
State Senate Candidate George Barker has come under attack in a vicious anti-gay mailer run by his opponent and paid for by the Republican Party of Virginia. If you want to get your blood boiling, YOU CAN SEE THE MAILER BY CLICKING HERE.
George Barker is one of Virginia Partisans' endorsed candidates and is one of the key races in the effort to retake the state Senate from the Republicans. VP's PAC has already donated more to Barker's campaign than to any other candidate in our organization's history. But we need to do more.
We need to make sure that this kind of homophobic attack backfires on candidates like Jay O'Brien who use them -- and that George Barker wins in a landslide!
Here's where you come in. Please respond to this challenge issued by VP member Terry Mansberger:
"I'm sure you all know about the attached flyer that Jay O'Brien and the state Republicans have sent out in the 39th Senate race. I am livid that he would try to smear George with these lies and misrepresentations of his positions. The Barker campaign is trying to get a mailing out to address the
overall negative tone of O'Brien's flyers on this and other issues and needs our help to fund the response. I personally will be delivering a check for $100 to George's HQ tomorrow night and challenge all my fellow Partisans to match that effort. We have got to get rid of this gay-baiting idiot and send our GLBT friend and good Democrat George Barker to Richmond. Thanks! /s/
Mr. Terry L. Mansberger."You can help in two ways:

Frankly, for someone who doesn't even have the courtesy to arrive on time for a debate given at Robinson High School and struts in in time for one question and a closing statement, his crediblilty is at about zero. Let's send this guy packing once and for all what do you say? Let's get someone in the State Senate with a background in every area important to all Virginians and can get some real work done in the legislature. In answer to his hateful mailer, let's donate and work even harder for the Barker campaign. It's time for a postive change in Virginia. Let's move our state forward not blast it back to the Stone Age. GEORGE BARKER FOR STATE SENATE. LET'S GET IT DONE. His opponent is in the depths of desperation to stoop to this low level.
Sometimes I wonder what country I am living in... or what planet.
This mailer is the perfect illustration of how much of a hateful individual O'Brien is. And the people who voted him into office should be ashamed.
It is time for you to switch parties. It was time seven years ago, but better late than never.
That's the implication of "lifestyle choice," that it's:
a) a choice
b) just another "lifestyle," like deciding to join a commune or take a job bashing unions (snark) or whatever
One more point: if there's no evolution, and an omniscient, omnipotent god created everything, then how could he not have known he was creating homosexuals? Are the right-wingers saying god made a mistake or something?
It is embarrassing at times to be a resident of this commonwealth.
