Could Harold Ford be any more fucked up in the head?

Per an AMERICAblog.com post, “Harold Ford thinks homophobia is politically expedient.” John Aravosis does a great job of handing Mr. Ford his ass on a platter:

Former Democratic congressman Harold Ford spoke today at the Netroots Nation conference. Ford explained to the audience that sometimes you just have to embrace positions that a lot of Democrats don’t like, in order to win conservative districts. For example, Ford decided to go anti-gay in the last week of his losing Senate race in 2006.

So, here’s my question for Harold Ford. How’s he feel about a Democrat using racism in order to win a race in a conservative district? I’m guessing Ford is against race-baiting in order to win conservative southern voters. But he has no problem with homophobia. Isn’t that interesting. How about bashing Asians (you know, Harold, those folks that John McCain calls “gooks”)? How about bashing women? Or people with disabilities? Would you tell a “polock joke” if you knew it would win you votes, Harold?

We don’t need hate, bigotry or racism in our government, republican or democrat. Vote to keep these POS’s out of Washington and elsewhere.
