West Virginia

Here's a charming little story out of West Virginny. A recent WVGOP mailing warns that Liberals will ban Bibles.

Campaign mail with a return address of the Republican National Committee warns West Virginia voters that the Bible will be prohibited and men will marry men if liberals win in November. The literature shows a Bible with the word 'BANNED' across it and a photo of a man, on his knees, placing a ring on the hand of another man with the word 'ALLOWED.' The mailing tells West Virginians to 'vote Republican to protect our families' and defeat the 'liberal agenda.' Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie said Friday that he wasn't aware of the mailing, but said it could be the work of the RNC. 'It wouldn't surprise me if we were mailing voters on the issue of same-sex marriage,' Gillespie said.

There was no comment from either Chairman Gillespie or the WVGOP as to whether good ole Appalachian incest will continue to be permitted. I note that the WVGOP's website doesn't appear to have an image of that mailing on its website. I wonder why? I wonder what they're ashamed of?
