Steve Baldwin, the former executive director of the Council for National Policy, an influential conservative policy group founded by Tim LaHaye, went on the Steve Deace show yesterday to discuss why he thinks a President Romney would be disastrous for the country and the Republican Party. Baldwins major gripe is his dubious claim that Romney was obsessed with gay rights as governor of Massachusetts.
Baldwin expressed frustration that Romney has been given a free pass by conservative media, which he chalked up to conflicts of interest in the right-wing press. Among those he claimed are biased towards Romney is the publisher of the far-right Human Events, whom he identified as a homosexual who likes Romney. Although he didnt name names on the show, Baldwin has previously asserted that Jeff Carneal, president of Human Events' publisher, is an avowed homosexual who has supported pro-equality causes.
But Baldwins gay-baiting did not end with his attack on conservative media. He let loose on Romneys tepid pro-gay rights record as governor of Massachusetts, saying, His whole administration was characterized by an almost obsessive devotion to the homosexual agenda. Romney, he fumes, was involved in gay proclamations, gay dances, gay proms, gay assemblies, gay this, gay that, adding obliquely, You gotta start wondering here.
