Will Tinker Play the Gay Card Against Cohen? (Yes)

It Looks like Rep. Steve Cohen will Face a Tough Challenge from Niki Tinker who has been cozying up to the anti-gay Baptist Ministerial Ass. who have been attacking Cohen for supporting the Hate Crime Bill that adds sexual orientation to the federal hate crime laws. A group of predominantly black ministers have been misleading their people into believing that the bill would prohibit them from preaching their anti-gay sermons. Funny how this was never an issue when Harold Ford Jr. supported the same legislation. Could politics have anything to do with this new attack on Steve Cohen? Will Niki Tinker play their anti-gay political game? I'm afraid so. Progressive Democrats need to support Cohen at all costs and stop these bigots.
