Crank Cries Foul on Weird Mail Piece

The Christian Coalition of Colorado is paying for direct mail that attacks two Republican candidates for congress in CD-5: Jeff Crank and Lionel Rivera.

The mail piece in question seeks to show that both Crank and Rivera are sympathetic to gay rights, but it does so in a pretty bold way. It also does it in a pretty inaccurate way, claiming that Crank endorsed "known homosexual activist" Richard Skorman for the Colorado Springs City Council...

Bad enough that this is what they call smear. Some people would feel honored. Worse that it's completely bogus -- how many gay votes will Rivera and Crank mistakenly garner from this?

You're right, that's probably not what Jeff Crank is sweating. How wonderful to not be in the target demographic for this kind of bile...
