—   The Tennessee Democratic Party • Completely disowning Mark Clayton, the Democratic candidate for Senate. Clayton won the Democratic primary, but his involvement with Public Advocate USA, classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, has caused the state party to cut him loose. Public Advocate USA opposes hate crime laws (“thought control legislation”), marriage equality (“the furtherance of so-called ‘Gay Rights’”), the National Endowment of the Arts (“federal funding and endorsement of pornography and obscenity”), Roe v. Wade, and “the mainstream media’s promotion and glorification of drug abuse, teenage sex, gangs, atheism, homosexuality and other immoral behavior and beliefs.” In other words, not exactly the kind of organization you’d expect a Democrat to get involved in. So how did Clayton end up winning the primary? “Many Democrats in Tennessee knew nothing about any of the candidates in the race, so they voted for the person at the top of the ticket,” the state party suggested.  source (via • follow)
