In reply to the discussion: Tea Party Congressman Compares African American Civil Rights To Snail Darters [View all]Amimnoch
(4,558 posts)He doesn't just compare civil rights to animal rights, he compares religious rights to animal rights. Is he saying that the first amendment isn't important?
I smell a counter-campaign issue that could be used against him come election time.
How about commercials like:
"Louie Gohmert believes your right to worship freely is as much of a right as the religion of the Delta Smelt"
Or, a commercial with a sage grout and a pretty little white girl side by side Praying, when some evil looking representation of Louis comes up and makes them stop.
His insult to minorities is not a campaign issue we'd win against him in his bigoted district... but I've a strong suspicion as painting him as anti religious freedom off of his own statements would be damaging.
