Kentucky’s gubernatorial election took another anti-gay turn this week. In addition to circulating Pat Boone’s unsavory message, some not-so-funny jokesters claiming to represent gay group Fairness Camaign have recorded a message lauding Steve Bashear’s pro-homo record.
As TPM reports, the unknown robo-caller says, “Beshear is receiving major support from out-of-state gay activists and has publicly committed to same-gender relationships.” Incumbent Governor Ernie Fletcher denies any involvement.
The Fairness Campaign, meanwhile, had this to say, “These last minute dirty-tricks should remove any doubt about who fair-minded Kentuckians should elect as their next Governor…” According to current polls, Beshear’s way ahead, so obviously Kentuckians know what’s good for them.

People should never lose sight of the fact that Republicans are ruthless and they will do anything, anything to win. I hope Bashear wins in a landslide.
