Seriously, you can't make up stuff this stupid.

And then conservatives expect to be taken seriously by adults instead of being viewed as a bunch of hilljack rubes.

GOPer says Common Core turns kids gay | MSNBC

Quote:
Republican State Rep. Charles Van Zant said the group implementing the Common Core in Florida, American Institutes for Research (AIR), “will promote double-mindedness in state education and attract every one of your children to become as homosexual as they possibly can.”

“I’m sorry to report that to you,” Zant said. “But you need to know.”

Many GOP politicians are that stupid and many of their minions will believe everything they say.

A number of Republicans are going to continue to make oddball points, such as the above, as long as it seems to work to draw votes and political campaign donations. Republican politicians can only get as stupid and outlandish as voters allow them to be.

Sigh, a while ago some conservatives went on about some play cancelled because some uptight person complained. Immediately posts started saying "thats liberals for you"

This is the exact same thing on the other side.

Don't define those who disagree with you by the extreme minorities on their side. Its wrong when they do it, its wrong when you do it.

It's not that extreme. Outlandish anti-gay fearmongering is a staple of the modern American conservative.

They hear "common" and think socialism.
They hear "core" and think butthole.
