Ken "Kookinelli" Cuccinelli can try to hide his extreme religious fanaticism - and, in my view, deep mental health/psychological problems - from Virginia voters, but it's simply not working. Between his insane effort to reinstate Virginia's unconstitutional sodomy law and the loud pronouncements by Christofascists of support their for Cuccinelli, he just cannot hide the extremism. Now, hate group American Family Association has jumped into the fray and resident extremist Bryan Fischer is trumpeting support for Kookinelli's sexual crusade. Both Cuccinelli and Fischer want opposite sex vaginal intercourse the only acceptable form of sex in Virginia. The McAuliffe campaign must be salivating with delight. Towleroad looks at Fischer's bombastic support for Cuccinelli's crusdae to police bedrooms across Virginia. Here are highlights:
Looks like Virginia Attorney General (and Republican gubernatorial candidate) Ken Cuccinelli has a not-so-surprising ally in his quest to rid the commonwealth of oral and anal sex. Writing in the Huffington Post, radio host Michelangelo Signorile reports that in a recent interview on his show, American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer not only backed Cuccinelli's plan, but also went further, essentially describing it as a necessary public health effort:
In what appeared to be a reference to HPV-related cancers, Fischer said in a conversation with me on SiriusXM Progress that a rise in head, neck and throat cancers "among millennials" is a direct result of the influence of "Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky." Throughout the interview, Fischer refused to clearly state what the punishment should be for those who engage in the sexual activity he believes should be banned, alternating between the idea of issuing summonses like "parking tickets" and "speeding tickets"and putting those who engage in oral sex or homosexual sex -- which he compared to drug trafficking, pedophilia and bestiality -- into something similar to drug rehab, at one point even suggesting an "intervention."Fischer has brought plenty of crazy to the table before, and he's in fine form in his interview with Signorile. Asked what he thought about oral and anal sex engaged in by heterosexual individuals, Fischer said, "That kind of sexual activity is destructive to the human body and I don’t care who does it. Let’s talk about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. We now have an epidemic of cancers of the throat and head and neck among millennials"--apparently, if Fischer is to be believed, because they grew up during Clinton's presidency.
Ken Cuccinelli's sodomy law would make different-sex vaginal intercourse the only acceptable form of sex in Virginia. That means anal sex and oral sex--whether homosexual or heterosexual, and even amongst married couples--would be illegal.
Even more shockingly, after Cuccinelli lost his attempt to revive Virginia's anti-sodomy laws at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in March--which relied explicitly on the Supreme Court's 2003 decision in Lawrence v. Texas invalidating sodomy laws nationwide--the attorney general petitioned the high court to review the decision, in essence asking it to repeal Lawrence.
There's something truly remarkable about the fact that, on this issue at least, there is so little daylight between one of America's most anti-gay voices and the highest law enforcement officer of the nation's 12th most populous state.
As I have stated before, I believe Cuccinelli is a tortured self-loathing closet case. He reminds me so much of Ed Schrock and other outed GOP politicians. There is little else to explain his bizarre obsession with gay sex. And as for the rumors I continue to hear that Cooch has secretly played on our team in the past, I wish someone would come forward with credible evidence and be willing to sign a sworn statement. "Outing" Kookinelli would be ever so sweet.
