DISGUSTING: PA State Rep. sends out flier saying lesbian opponent "does not share our values".

[bbernardini]

After a few weeks of getting nothing but fliers for Dem candidates, I finally got one for a Repub (Tim Hennessey), and I'm disgusted. I've included a scan below. I'm speaking specifically of Point #4:

"She DOES NOT share our values and is determined to bring her extremist left-wing views to Harrisburg."

What do they site to support this claim? "2008 www.queertimes.net" I had not heard of Queertimes before, but it appears to be an online newsletter for the GLBT community in the Philadelphia area, and they are supporting Ms. Kaufman's run for office. Ms. Kaufman happens to be an openly gay woman. You can read the "open letter" she published in Queertimes here:

Basically, Tim Hennessey is implying that Kaufman's homosexuality (and her support for civil unions, of course) is an "extremist left-wing view" and doesn't fit in with their "values". Wouldn't he and his staff be surprised if they suddenly got a lot of phone calls, faxes and e-mails about this at the contacts below? :)
