Watch and enjoy:
I seethe NOT because my son is gay. I seethe because he lives in a country in which some elected officials find it politically advantageous to deny him dignity, basic rights, and protections. I seethe because there are people who preach hatred and discrimination towards gays yet claim to be "good" and "loving" Christians. I seethe because there are groups who claim to be "advocates" for the family but who work to do great harm to any family that doesn’t fit their narrow template for “normal”.

David Vitter may finally be getting his comeuppance - and this mama would like to be first in line to bid this sanctimonious fraud adieu
For long-time readers of this blog, my glee at seeing David Vitter smacked hard in the campaign ad below will come as no surprise. I have blogged about Mr. Vitter many, many times (previous posts listed below). For me this man goes down in my book as an especially vile, disgusting hypocrite. But for those of you who are not familiar with my obsession with this putrid man and his history, let me briefly fill you in.
Back in 2003, then president, George W. Bush, was running for a second term on a platform that included a gay marriage ban, which was cosponsored by Senator David Vitter. This bill would have amended the U.S. Constitution and denied millions of law-abiding, tax-paying gay and lesbian Americans from getting married to the person they love. And Vitter was one of the 10 original sponsors of this nasty Federal Marriage Amendment. This was nothing more than a blatant and callous political strategy to whip up their far-right religious base into a frothy frenzy pretty much guaranteeing a good turn out at the polls and four more years of George W. Bush and his disastrous policies.
Now I know you are thinking to yourselves that this is nothing new for Republican politicians and you'd be right. But ... this is David Vitter we are talking about. When he was not waxing on about the "Sanctity of Marriage", he was bloviating ad nauseam about "Family Values", all while he was frequenting the DC Madam's prostitution service and the high-priced Canal Street brothel back in his home town. And it also came out that sex with prostitutes was not enough for Mr. Sanctimonious, he also like his home-town girls to make him wear diapers while doing the dirty deed. And if all of this is not enough, now there are rumors that Senator Sanctimonious may have fathered a love-child with one of his hometown prostitutes - not confirmed yet, but hey, where there's smoke there's fire.
So now on to the ad. It is short, it is brutal, and as John Cole noted on his blog, John Bel Edwards just opened a can of whoop-ass on Diaper Dave Vitter:
