Liberal Group Gives The Tumblr Treatment To Cuccinelli Following Sodomy Uproar

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s opponents are seizing an opportunity: A day after his support of the state’s anti-sodomy law caused a stir in Virginia, a liberal opposition research group plans to launch a website to highlight some of his most eyebrow-raising statements.
As he mounts a bid for governor this year, Cuccinelli has been trying to downplay some aspects of his record by removing certain “issue” pages from his campaign site.
That inspired American Bridge 21st Century PAC to resurface Cuccinelli’s most conservative beliefs on KenOnTheIssues.com, a Tumblr shared first with TPM. It’s set to go live Thursday afternoon.
The site will prominently display Cuccinelli’s anti-gay rhetoric the day after news broke that his office petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit to review a case throwing out the state’s sodomy ban.
“Homosexual acts are wrong,” the site quotes Cuccinelli. “They’re intrinsically wrong… They don’t comport with natural law.” The full quote, which comes from an October 2009 Virginia-Pilot editorial, also contains Cuccinelli’s belief that “in a natural law based country it’s appropriate to have policies that reflect that.”
