GOP Mailing Warns Liberals Will Ban Bibles

From the AP via FindLaw courtesy of Dr. Menlo:

Campaign mail with a return address of the Republican National Committee warns West Virginia voters that the Bible will be prohibited and men will marry men if liberals win in November.

The literature shows a Bible with the word "BANNED" across it and a photo of a man, on his knees, placing a ring on the hand of another man with the word "ALLOWED." The mailing tells West Virginians to "vote Republican to protect our families" and defeat the "liberal agenda."

Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie said Friday that he wasn't aware of the mailing, but said it could be the work of the RNC. "It wouldn't surprise me if we were mailing voters on the issue of same-sex marriage," Gillespie said.

You know, I'm about as liberal as they come without drifting off into revolutionary wacko territory, and I'm all for gay marriage and everything, but banning Bibles??? Man, banning any book is bad enough, but, for Christ's sake, the Bible is one of the most important works of literature ever produced by western civilization. It's a source of morality and wisdom for millions, including my own non-believer self. Needless to say, liberals aren't even pondering banning Bibles. That's just fucking silly.

I swear, conservatives are getting kookier every day.
