Radical Right Slugs It Out for Frist's Senate Seat

The 3 GOP contenders for Frist's Senate Seat are: 100% Anti-Choice, 100% Anti-Gay, 100% Anti-Immigrant and 100% Anti-Tax. But never fear, the notoriously illiberal 3 are for something - all 3 are 100% Pro Ultra White Rich Christian Male.

The 3 narrow-minded white male GOP contenders for Frist's Senate seat unveiled their back-to-the-19th-century views yesterday on Steve Gill's morning shock jock talk show on WWTN-FM 99.7.

While they slugged it out with the usual rightwing venom, the 3 seem to have the same views on pretty well everything. They oppose a woman's right to choose. They oppose gay rights - all 3 support a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. All 3 are firmly on the anti-immigrant bandwagon. And, of course, all 3 would give themselves tax breaks.

If this were the 1950s, there is no doubt that the 3 rightwingers would all be on record as opposed to miscegenation - "the mixing of different ethnicities or races" - or racial integration and interracial marriage.

But since it's 2006, they're not saying. . . .

While Corker has raised more money, a recent Zogby poll finds each of the 3 radical conservatives to be in a statistical tie with the Democratic contender from Memphis, U.S. Rep. Harold Ford Jr.

Here's a clue for our conservative Democrat, Harold Ford: Instead of telling us how conservative you are, try telling us how - or if - you are any different from these 3 equally dangerous back-to-the-19th-century extremists. (More here on: How conservative is Ford? via the Cursor.)

Think Tennessee progressives have no choice other than to suck it up and vote for our notoriously illiberal Dem? Think again - and again.
