The Democratic Circus
More gay-bashing from Democrat candidates to try and win elections. This time in South Carolina

Forget mudslinging. Try "cockfight" or "bloodbath" if you want to describe Friday's fifth - and final - U.S. Senate debate between Democrat Alex Sanders and Republican Lindsey Graham. Take this slap early in the debate, during a discussion about whose friends are more liberal: Sanders said Graham was the one running a TV endorsement from Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York City.

"He's an ultra-liberal," Sanders said. "His wife kicked him out and he moved in with two gay men and a Shih Tzu. Is that South Carolina values? I don't think so."
