Sex-obsessed Republicans: Bad for Ohio, bad for America

This evening I was over at Plunderbund and saw this post by Brian. It addresses Jerome Corsi's histrionics about Ted Strickland's "radical sexual agenda". Quoth Corsi:

Until recently, Strickland’s advocacy of a radical sexual agenda has been relegated to a whisper campaign in Ohio. Ken Blackwell is unjustly criticized for attempting to out Ted Strickland on the truth of his sexual politics.

His huh-waah? You know, it's just a hunch, and I don't have the freetime or the necessary software. But I'll bet if you counted the occurances of the word string "sexual"--as a stand alone word, or with various suffixes or prefixes, it would be found *way* more often on conservative/Republican blogs than on liberal/Democratic ones.

Brian notes that The fact that Blackwell has brought in the “big gun” in Corsi to attempt to smear Strickland on a daily basis shows exactly how desperate Blackwell is. Here's something that boggles the mind, though. What sort of person does Ken Blackwell's "dirty work"? After all, we've seen how low Ken Blackwell *himself* is willing to go, in his recent NAMBLA-obsessed debate performance, and posting Bill Cunningham's slanderous remarks about Strickland during a Fox "News" interview on his official campaign web site.

So, what kind of man does dirty work that Ken Blackwell doesn't want to do himself? Media Matters gives a little background on Corsi, the co-author of the Kerry-bashing book "Unfit for Command" here. Be forewarned--it's pretty vile stuff.

And this same walking sack of hate is also the co-author of Blackwell's book, "Rebuilding America". As described in The Carpetbagger Report, the book is "a blueprint for a new War on Poverty," which calls for an "ownership society."

Ownership society...where have I heard *those* words before? Oh right--that's a Bush expression, isn't it? And I think it's a fairly safe assumption that Blackwell, if he were somehow elected governor, would show every bit as much "Christian compassion" in policies affecting the poor as the man he helped elect, twice, has done.
