Though I wouldn’t be shocked to learn there’s some evil shit being perpetrated by both sides, the anti-Kerry intiative below is particularly mindblowing. Can you imagine the kind of havoc Karl Rove could wreak in a hotly contested student council race?
The phone messages – known as robo calls – were placed in heavily Democratic cities of Detroit, Flint and Pontiac and the Democratic-leaning city of Grand Rapids.
œWhen you vote this Tuesday, remember to legalize gay marriage by supporting John Kerry, the call said. œIt™s what we all want. It™s a basic Democratic principle.
The phone calls were made in communities with large populations of African Americans, many of whom vote Democratic, but who also have supported the passage of Michigan™s ballot Proposal 2, a ban on same sex marriage.
Who knew this is what Robo is up to these days!
if the exit polls are anything to go, Robo’s vaguely homophobic insinuations have swung the election. Not at all what we’d expect from a guy who drummed for Rollins and Danzig.
