The Ladies of "The View" Rip Into Ken Cuccinelli

It seems that Ken Cuccinelli's reaffirmation of his anti-gay animus over the weekend during the debate with Democrat gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe continues  to draw attention and commentary, but not the type Cuccinelli perhaps wanted.  Kookinelli really needs to spend some time outside of The Family Foundation's alternate universe (not to mention get over his self-loathing closet case mindset) or more episodes like this one are likely:







Here are more details via Think Progress:  

The hosts of The View ridiculed Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli for his push to reinstate the state’s Crimes Against Nature law on Monday, a measure that would make felons out of consenting married couples who engage in oral or anal sex in the privacy of their own homes. The act was struck down by federal courts after Cuccinelli blocked efforts to bring it in line with the Supreme Court’s 2003 Lawrence v. Texas ruling.
 
Cuccinelli has long supported restrictions on the sexual behavior of consenting adults and has linked certain acts to homosexuality. “My view is that homosexual acts, not homosexuality, but homosexual acts are wrong. They’re intrinsically wrong. And I think in a natural law based country it’s appropriate to have policies that reflect that,” he told a newspaper in 2009.

He reiterated that view during the first gubernatorial debate against Democratic nominee Terry McAuliffe on Saturday, admitting that his extreme anti-LGBT beliefs have not changed. Those positions, however, are now raising concerns from some traditionally Republican business donors, who fear that his extreme views could jeopardize the state’s economic development, and have left the attorney general at a substantial fundraising disadvantage.

God, I hope the people of Virginia see this kook for what he is.
