Iowa NAACP Leader Throws Support Behind GOP Candidate, Homophobia
Guess what! Michael Steele's efforts to recruit more minority leaders into the Republican party are starting to bear fruit. And all it took was a couple dudes giving each other rings…
The president of the Iowa-Nebraska chapter of the NAACP has endorsed anti-gay Republican gubernatorial hopeful Bob Vander Plaats…
"I know that Bob Vander Plaats is not afraid to stand up for what is right," Rev. Keith A. Ratliff Sr. said. "That takes courage."
"He's talked about the importance of defending the institution of marriage… That takes backbone and determination. That's what I want in my governor — and that's why I'm standing here today to show my support for him," he added.
Now, after a century of tireless effort, it sure is heartening to see a leader of the NAACP — which, according to its website, has a long and proud history as "a champion of social justice" — taking such a bold stand in favor of the oppressed majority, forging a stronger status quo, and fighting back against the tyranny of the downtrodden.
And it's kinda sweet to see this brave leader and one of his organization's old rivals finally seeing eye-to-eye on some things.

In defense of the NAACP, their mission clearly states equality based on race. They're called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The only thing colored about gays is their flag. You have to admit that Colored flag-bearing people is a bit of a stretch.
OMG!
He's gone rogue!
