We are hearing reports that Mike Mulvaney, running for SC state senate, is making gay baiting robo calls.  (oh by the way, robo calls in SC are illegal).  That is, someone associated with him is making calls purporting to come from a gay rights organization in SC endorsing his opponent.   Only this org doesn't exist.

Something like this occurred last Fall in Kentucky with the Governor's race.  A robo call went out purporting to be from a gay rights organization supporting a specific candidate.  Only the gay rights organization had nothing to do with it.

This was the content of that call last Fall:

For the first time in 20 years, the homosexual lobby proudly endorses a Kentucky candidate for governor: Steve Beshear. Beshear is receiving major support from out-of-state gay activists and has publicly committed to same-gender relationships, employment of more homosexuals in state government including teachers, and support for homosexual adoption of children.

If you believe these rights are fair please vote for Steve Beshear for governor. Visit Fairness.org.

Now comes a report of the following gay baiting robo call in South Carolina (where robo calls are illegal).

Here is the transcript:

Hi, this is Allison calling from the Alliance for the Advancement of Gays and Lesbians.

We are a pro-gay rights, pro-choice grassroots organization.

I am calling to let you know that we are supporting Mandy Powers Norrell in the state Senate

A proven Democrat, Mandy Powers Norrell supports homosexual unions and abortion rights. We can count on Mandy Powers Norrell to promote a progressive agenda in the state Senate and to fight the right wing fringe at every turn.

Again, this is Allison with the Alliance for the Advancement of Gays and Lesbians asking you to vote for Democrat Mandy Powers Norrell on Tuesday, November 4. Thank you.
