Acclaimed anti-gay activists Rick Scarborough, Dr. Tim LaHaye and Dr. Michael Farris seem to have joined forces to support Mike Huckabee. From The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder:

Pastor Rick Scarborough is hosting a conference call with Iowa pastors to discuss the caucus… joining him are Dr. Tim "Left Behind" LaHaye and Dr. Michael "Home School" Farris.

All three are committed supporters of Mike Huckabee. An e-mail sent to Iowa pastors advertising the call doesn't mention Huckabee — that wouldn't be legal — but does say that pastors "have a duty" to keep their congregants "informed" and to lead them to "participate" in the caucuses.

Farris has been a senior unpaid adviser to Huckabee from day one and was key in helping to organize the families of home schoolers to attend the Republican straw poll in Ames last summer.

Gross…

Jim Naugle's fan base keeps on growing. Fort Lauderdale's homophobic, toilet-obsessed Mayor recently won Faith2Action president Janet Folger's equally homophobic heart. Bless.

In a post over at the more conservative-than-thou WorldNetDaily, Folger defends Naugle's offensive attacks a mythical sex-obsessed, monolithic homo menace.

I thank God for this mayor who is sticking up for children who, after playing a game of soccer, may wander 50 feet into the library to ask the following…

Q: Mommy? What's homosexual pornography?

A: It's what you saw in the public restroom earlier.

Funny, we thought right wing Christians didn't encourage childish questions. You learn something new everyday.

Celebrating Naugle's crusade against gay demons, Folger grants him this week's "Protector of the Family".

Congratulations, Naugle! We're totally going to nominate you for the much coveted - and righteous riotous - Peter LaBarbera Award.

Rick Scarborough must be so proud. The homophobic former Baptist minister has been honored with The LaBarbera Award, named for Americans for "Truth" wack job Peter LaBarbera (the man who recently celebrated former gay editor Michael Glatze's ex-gay conversion).

Bestowed by Box Turtle Bulletin, the LaBarbera Award goes to cultural nitwits who deliver the "most outrageous, offensive, malevolent, crazy, excessive" statement. So, what did Scarborough do to deserve the prestigious award?
