Quick, Tell 1,000 Friends About The Values Voters Debate

This Values Voters debate (streaming live now) , hosted by the likes of WorldNetDaily and Phyllis Schlafly, is like a treasure trove of wingnuttia. The Democratic Party should have bought air time on all three networks just to broadcast it. No wonder the leading candidates wanted nothing to do with it. This is insanity personified.

I just watched a 10-minute disquisition from all the candidates on the "homosexual agenda," which included defenses of the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy and the rights of the Boy Scouts to discriminate against gays, and cited homeschooling as somehow the answer to this evil. They all proudly asserted that they would defund Planned Parenthood. And Alan Keyes connected the war on terror to abortion.

There's a part now where the candidates there are punching answers into a keypad on a yes or no question. Then everyone in the audience claps when the candidates get the answer right. I think a chute comes out from under the podium if they get it wrong. Pretty much nobody has yet.

This is the hidden conservative agenda. It should be known to every single American.

UPDATE: Judge Roy Moore just came out to WILD applause. He would win the straw poll in that room.

UPDATE II: ...Duncan Hunter just got in a "zinger," saying that we could get the Taliban to confess by just making them listen to Al Franken's radio show.

Franken ended his radio show months ago.

UPDATE III: Liberal fans of Ron Paul will be pleased to know that he supports teaching intelligent design in schools (to the extent that he believes in schools). He also would not support the creation of a commission to monitor the eradication of slavery in Sudan. That's what he takes a stand on.

"My name is Steven Bennett, and I'm a former homosexual." These people are deranged.

UPDATE IV: It wouldn't be a values voter debate without some ACLU bashing. Of course, today the ACLU decided to support Larry Craig's challenge to his arrest, so I wonder how they reconcile that one.

This guy wants to eliminate the gag rule that prohibits tax-exempt organizations from advocating for candidates. And the candidates all agreed.

It's a creepy world that everyone at this debate lives in, one where you would believe gay people, immigrants and academia, maybe the most marginalized elements of society, wield supreme power over the nation.

UPDATE V: Judge Roy Moore just asked about the NAFTA Superhighway that doesn't exist.

The format is also hilarious. In this "round" which has gone on for a half-hour, the candidates say absolutely nothing. A series of nutballs walk to the podium and pontificate, asking a question with an obvious answer for this crowd, all of the candidates answer the question the right way, and the crowd claps like they're giving a food pellet to a rat. It's like Justice Sunday if it were a game show.

UPDATE VI: A new level of crazy. An antiabortion activist, a lady who claimed to be nearly aborted, just asked Rudy Giuliani "why do you want to kill me," only Giuliani isn't there. So they cut to an EMPTY PODIUM of Giuliani. They're doing the same thing now with Romney. They just zoom in on the empty podium.

I wonder if 1856 Republican candidate John C. Fremont will also get a question.
