Fake robo calls have been going out in Kentucky (where a gubernatorial race will be decided today). They claim to be from "the homosexual lobby"

Smells like Carl Rove....

Transcript:

“For the first time in 20 years the homosexual lobby proudly endorses a Kentucky candidate for governor, Steve Beshear. Beshear is receiving major support from out-of-state gay activists and has publicly committed to same-gender relationships, employment of more homosexuals in state government including teachers, and support for homosexual adoption of children.
If you believe these rights are fair please vote for Steve Beshear for governor. Visit Fairness.org.

What's a fake robocall? These seem to be actuall robocalls. I listened, and no where in it do they claim to be part of the homosexuall lobby. The real question is whether or not national gay activists are giving him major support. Has Beshear pubically committed to the things listed? If so it is certainly fair game to say so. Was Fairness.org endorsing him?

There are legit robo-calls.Where`ve you been?

This one, is as phony as they come.

Listen again,how the speaker mentions "more gays in government,even ~teachers~". Out-of-state gay organizations,etc.

Hitting all the hot button ,bigot issues.Pretending to be for the guy they`re mentioning.Very slick.

The southern republicans, are the dumbest of`m all,so this just might work.

They are absolutly hot button issues, but you completely dodged the point....Are they true?

What is phony about the call. I get you are pulling KOOK tactic, and pretending the call claims to be from the Homosexuall Lobby, when clearly no such claim is made. This is the same foolish non logic as a recent thread where a person claims people identified themselves as Police Officers, when absolutly no such claim was made.

Are you listening to the same tape?

Just WTF is the "homosexual lobby"anyway?Is that anything like the "Gay Agenda"? ooooow,vewy scawy...oow

It`s a ruse.lol

Listen to the part about "gays adopting kids".

It`s meant to provoke fear and loathing. This is standard variety dirty campaigning.Just like bush telling folks that McCain had a mixed race child.

You`re more sophisticated that that,luckydog.

Someone explain it to him...

Has he taken a public stand on gay adoption?, if so it is a legitimate subject of debate. Are Pro Gay groups endorsing him? Are they sending him out of state money? If so its legit to say. Did Fairness.org endorse him? If so why are they upset that it is being pointed out? I notice you are absolutly silent on whether or not any of the charges are true.

No where in the call does it claim to be from a Pro Gay group, like you say they wouldn't call them selves the Homosexuall lobby. That is what some on the right call the plethora of Liberal groups with a pro gay agenda.

Are all Democrats going to be such whiners, " you can't say that....even though its true.....wahh!!!" If so this will be a fun election.

Come on. The turn of phrase "proudly endorses" is clearly first person and is meant to imply that the homosexual lobby, whatever the fuck that is, is represented by the person reading the message. This is GOP dirty tricks at its lowest.

Good luck Homosexuallity is as welcomed in Kentucky as Reading and Math. If your gay and you live in Kentucky you stay in the closet for your own safty. Personally I'm fine with Gays, and yes I have actually gotten the Robo Messege, But its just a phone call and really who cares? Its not like the person who set the thing up is going to hunt you down and hurt you if you hang up. Sheesh! In this case I say we let sleeping dogs lie.
