Harold Ford Jr. Continues Attacks Cohen/Gays

Defending and echoing his father, Harold Ford Jr. lashed out at the DEMOCRATIC candidate for Congress Steve Cohen, falsey accusing him of supporting legalizing marijuana, gay marriage, and "cutting and running" in Iraq, according to an article in The Commercial Appeal. Ford is quoted as saying:
""State Senator Cohen and I disagree on several significant issues. He's for gay marriage; I'm not. He's for amnesty for illegals; I'm not. He's for legalizing marijuana; I'm not. He's for a cut-and-run strategy in Iraq; I'm for a new plan to partition Iraq into three regions to ensure that we leave it better than we found it."
First, it is a LIE to accusing Cohen of supporting gay marriage (Cohen has repeatedly said he does NOT support gay marriage, but opposes amending the Tennessee or U.S. Constitutions), and he only supported legalizing MEDICAL use of marijuana. What is really disturbing is the constant gay-bashing by Harold Ford Sr., Harold Ford Jr. and Jake Ford for political gain. It seems that the Ford family is trying to use a Republican political tactic: accuse your opponent of supporting the "gay agenda", and opposing Christianity and "family values."
Harold Ford Jr., and his supporters, need to be reminded that the DEMOCRATIC PARTY Platform supports equal rights for gay and lesbians, and opposes writing discrimination the U.S. Constitution or state constitutions. DNC Chair Howard Dean has stated that "Republicans claim to support "family values,' while Democrats support ALL Families." The Shelby County and Davidson County Democratic Parties have passed resolutions OPPOSING the anti-gay Amendment One, which state Sen. Steve Cohen voted against. It would seem that Steve Cohen is representing the Democratic Party and true Democrats, while Harold and Jake Ford are siding with anti-gay Republicans and the Religious Right.
