in Wingnut World, anything is possible

Pat Robertson Endorses Rudy Giuliani

So, apparently the “values” of the “Values Voter” include infidelity, divorce, tolerance of homosexuality, cross-dressing, mob ties and bearing false witness. Cool.

Seems strange - maybe Pat-Rob likes what he sees in the strategy against uppity darkies:

Strategists for Rudy Giuliani are quietly preparing a significantly race-based campaign strategy to strengthen support among socially conservative white voters, in the South as well as in the North. […]
Giuliani’s eight years as New York’s chief executive exemplified a Northern adaptation of the GOP’s politically successful “Southern strategy” - the strategy playing on white resistance to and resentment of federal legislation passed in the 1960s mandating desegregation - resistance that produced a realignment in the South and fractured the Democratic loyalties of white working class voters in the urban North from 1968 to 2004.
It’s hard to know exactly what this strategy would look like in practice, but Tom Edsall’s report suggests Giuliani will appeal to white conservatives by emphasizing his conflicts with NYC’s African-American community. The idea, apparently, is to deflect attention from his positions on abortion, gays, guns, and immigration by pointing to race — the implicit message being: “How liberal can Giuliani be if he constantly fought with black people in New York?”

Now, will Rudy except the endorsement from a man who said we deserved to be attacked on 9/11?

JERRY FALWELL: And, I know that I’ll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way-all of them who have tried to secularize America - I point the finger in their face and say “you helped this happen."
PAT ROBERTSON: I totally concur. The problem is that we’ve adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government. We’re responsible as a free society for what the top people do and the top people are the court system.

Round and round the wingnuts go, how shameless they will get nobody knows...
