Scott Lively is running for governor of Massachusetts next year.

Scott Lively is the fundy evangelist "Christian" who wrote the history revisionist book "The Pink Swastika," that says the worst of the Nazis were gays.

Lively is also responsible for the "kill the gays" bill in Uganda.

Any bets as to how badly Lively is going to lose?

Double digits?

He's not trying to win. He's going to run hate propaganda disguised as campaign ads LeftyMom Oct 2013 #2

I think the technique will be used, but a different agenda. Archae Oct 2013 #3

He's not the first fundie to try that, a few of the Operation Rescue types have tried it to force stations to run ads with gory fetus pictures.

Lively is more viciously anti-LGT rights.

So Lively's campaign will be mostly anti-gay.
