You have to love it when the far right crazies start attacking each other. It's even more fun when the goal is to either "out" a politician or document that he's a philanderer. But that's exactly what a Ron Paul supporter is doing to Rick Perry. The ad shown above is what Austin Ron Paul supporter Robert Morrow has published to solicit whatever dirt he can find on Perry. Given Perry's extremism and anti-gay stances, I cannot help but in some ways to hope that Morrow is successful. Besides possible crippling Perry's campaign, it would be a huge embarrassment to AFA and other Christianist organizations who participated in "The Response" on August 6, 2011. Here are highlights from Salon on Morrow's advertisement:
An Austin Ron Paul supporter has taken out a full-page ad in the local alt weekly newspaper seeking any "stripper ... escort ... or 'young hottie'" who has slept with Rick Perry, part of his single-minded jihad against the presidential candidate.
CASH is the Committee Against Sexual Hypocrisy, of which Morrow is president. "Is it a real group? No. It's just me," he told Salon earlier this week.
Morrow claims that he knows strippers in Austin who have stories about Perry, but none of them are willing to come forward to the press; hence, the need for an ad in the Chronicle. "I think it's only a matter of time until somebody credible comes forward," he told me.
At the bottom of the ad is a nod to the longtime (and equally unsubstantiated) rumors that Perry, who has pursued sundry anti-gay policies, is himself gay. "Note to gay people: If you know the truth about Rick, please QUIT covering for him," it reads.
Just this past June, Politico reported that Perry's organization was "more than prepared" for a re-airing of the gay rumors. His spokesman said that Perry and his wife, Anita, "have been lovingly married since 1982 and are parents to two grown children."
Don't you just love the way having children is held out as absolute proof that one is straight? Hmm . . .I was married 24 years and have three grown children. Does that make me more straight than Perry?
