This is not surprising at all. Republicans think very little of their constituency. They assume they are all low information voters (which many are) an as such they do not mind spinning stories relative to the degree of “conservativeness” of their audience. While all politicians do this, Republicans have made this an art form. While when caught most politicians would show some remorse (for getting caught), Republicans usually come out swinging.
They are very good at spewing misinformation they know is misinformation and defend it as true. The Pledge to America is a classic example. The document proper contradicts itself and GOP’s own platform. But they use it as it has validity.
We have two weeks (less for early voters) to try to get real information out. In talking to those on the Right remember they will never give you the pleasure of backing down even if they see the light. As such remember to tell them. “You need not agree with me in person. Remember no one sees who you vote for so vote in your financial and family’s interest. Have a wonderful day.”

NEW YORK — State liquor license records show that New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino had once collected rent from two gay clubs located in buildings he owned in downtown Buffalo, according to a published report.
The report in the Daily News on Wednesday comes just after Paladino told a group of Orthodox Jewish leaders that he opposed schools for what he called "brainwashing" of students into thinking that being gay is just another choice and "not the way God created us."
The newspaper reported that a club named Cobalt operated as a gay bar in 2004 and most of 2005 and was run by Paladino’s son, William. It was housed in a building owned by one of Paladino’s many companies, Huron Group LLC, the newspaper said. The club was run under another corporate name.
Sometime in 2005, the club began catering to straight clientele, the Daily News reported.
