SCarolina - 2000 primary - seeking docmt "McCain the fag candidate"

[Zan_of_Texas]

In the 2000 Republican primary in South Carolina, BushCo did numerous tricks to McCain. (the book and movie "Bush's Brain" has more examples)

One was, after McCain met with the Log Cabin Republicans, there was a flyer printed up and distributed, I believe, through the churches in SC, calling McCain "the fag candidate."

A prominent, highly regarded TV show has called me looking for a copy of that flyer.

Anybody? Anybody have any leads of who to call who might be able to get their hands on one?

They are on a deadline, natch.

Thanks for any tips.

(I am assuming you are looking for a facsimile of the particular flyer, but these links will at least help idle readers share the hate and narrow down the organization involved)

5. Just googled this:

Bush Supporters Called McCain “The Fag Candidate.”  In South Carolina, Bush supporters circulated church fliers that labeled McCain “the fag candidate.”  Columnist Frank Rich noted that the fliers were distributed “even as Bush subtly reinforced that message by indicating he wouldn’t hire openly gay people for his administration.”

McCain Slurs Included Illegitimate Children, Homosexuality And A Drug-Addict Wife.  Among the rumors circulated against McCain in 2000 in South Carolina was that his adopted Bangladeshi daughter was actually black, that McCain was both gay and cheated on his wife, and that his wife Cindy was a drug addict.”


And Our old buddy Fred Phelps also called McCain "the Fag Candidate." Here's the text from a Phelps on-line bulletin:
February 16, 2000

McCain is the fag candidate
It is undisputed that John McCain met with the Log Cabin (openly gay) Republicans last month in his Senatorial Office in Washington, to solicit and receive their support in his bid for President. McCain is the only Republican candidate to do so. The fags got the message. Below is the front cover of a fag magazine -- "ECHO" -- published in Phoenix. Sharing honors with McCain on the front cover is Neil Giuliano, fag Mayor of Tempe.

I’m a member of the *#!@& Clinton/Gore fag Army...I’ve been ordered to tell John McCain how %@&*# glad we are he agrees with Al Gore!

Nice, huh?
