AFSCME (a union) put out a homophobic radio ad against Mitch McConnell. mcconnell.pngTo the right is a poster that Page One Kentucky is reporting went up all over the state, using much of the same language as the AFSCME ad, even though it's unattributed.

This is homophobic and wrong. Whoever's doing the poster ought to stop and there's no justification for this. Being gay shouldn't disqualify someone from public office. It doesn't make someone a joke. And that's the message that both the radio ad and the poster are sending.

Michelangelo Signorile defends the ad:

Though Mitch will suck any _ _ _ _ that will offer him money to run, and bend over and spread 'em for any lobbyist who walked through the door.  He's the kind of guy who would say that just because he likes to give sailors ->-bleeped-<-s that doesn't make him a homo.
