If there was any question who is pulling the puppet strings of Bob McDonnell and Ken Cuccinelli, a mid-April event at Liberty University should make it clear that it is the far, far right of the Christian Right. Click the image above for a larger view of the coven of wingnuts who will be gathering in Lynchburg. Among the invited attendees? Governor Bob McDonnell and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. Jeremy Hooper has more details at Good As You:*
[S]ummit affiliates/exhibitors include the Family Research Council (whose spokesman has called for our exportation and criminalization), the Traditional Values Coalition (a Southern Poverty Law Center "hate group"), the American Family Association (whose officials have compared us to heroin abuse), and the "ex-gay" proponents at Exodus International. From the nation's number one backer of military unfairness (Elaine Donnelly) to someone who compares gay's civil unions to "armageddon" (Harry Jackson) to a man who was behind one of the most crazily over-the-top events in anti-equality history (Lou Engle), . . .

[T]he fact that these folks, who are undeniably among the most overheated anti-gay figures on the scene, want someone like Cuccinelli shows how far he has gone to appease this crew.
