WATCH: Rachel Maddow Slams GOP's Inability to Get Off The (Bigotry) Sauce
Out MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow has been unrelenting in her coverage of the Virginia GOP ticket's radical right-wing turn, but she was in rare form Thursday when she elucidated the latest wingnuttery in a segment brilliantly called "Downward Facing Dogma."
After rattling off just a sampling of Virginia Republican gubernatorial hopeful Ken Cuccinelli's antigay positions — he's led the fight to keep Virginia's laws criminalizing sodomy on the books, despite a 2003 Supreme Court ruling that found such laws unconstitutional — his unabashed attack on women's health — fighting to close abortion clinics in the state and ban the practice universally — Maddow turned to Cuccinelli's running mate, Bishop E.W. Jackson.
Noting that Jackson was nominated not through a statewide primary but by a convention attended by the state's most hard-line, radical conservatives, Maddow highlighted Jackson's absurd (but published) statements that yoga leads to satanism, and, oh yeah, gay people are "perverted…very sick people psychologically and mentally and emotionally."
