GOP campaign worker hospitalized after apparent gay-bashing

25 Oct 2012 11:41 #1 by Grady

MADISON, Wisc. — A bitter and contentious Wisconsin congressional race saw a new level of antagonism Wednesday morning when an openly gay Republican campaign worker became the victim of an apparent hate crime.

Kyle Wood, a full-time volunteer working for GOP House candidate Chad Lee, was hospitalized for injuries suffered during what he said was an assault at his home.

Wood said his attacker’s reference to a warning likely pointed to graffiti he found painted on his car last week. The vandalism included the phrases “house trained republican faggot,” “traitor,” and “ur like a jew 4 hitler.”

Those slurs, he explained, were references to him being a gay Republican working to help Lee, a straight GOP candidate, defeat the openly gay Democrat Mark Pocan.

Sad but this isn't out of the ordinary, homosexuals who don't support legal gay marriage have also been assaulted by lefties who think they have a duty to support any homosexual agenda.

He probably did it to himself.

Gee, Grady... Is this the guy you were talking about?

Kyle Wood Assault 'Unfounded,' As Wisconsin Volunteer Recants Claim Of Hate Crime Attack

A former full-time volunteer for Wisconsin state senator and U.S. House candidate Chad Lee (R) recanted his claim Monday that he had suffered a beating and threats for his sexuality and political affiliation. Kyle Wood, 29, had originally reported to the Madison, Wis., police that a man had broken into his apartment and proceeded to assault and threaten him on Oct. 24.

"I was getting ready for work and there was a knock at the door," Wood said in an email to The Daily Caller. "I opened it, and a guy wrapped a ligature around my neck, slammed my head into the doorway, and smashed my face into a mirror, telling me 'You should have kept your [f****t] mouth shut.'"

He also said that someone had vandalized his car earlier that week, spray-painting it with abusive comments like "house-trained republican f****t" and "traitor."

Wood had worked full-time for Lee's campaign as the Republican candidate runs for the House seat left vacant by outgoing Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.). Lee's opponent, state Rep. Mark Pocan (D), is openly gay and holds a substantial cash advantage.

The story, which the right-leaning Daily Caller first reported on Oct. 25, spread to the state media and across the Internet. Wood gave interviews to local talk show host Vicki McKenna and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Christian Schneider. The Journal-Sentinel has since removed the interview from its site.

Lee's campaign confirmed that it would no longer employ Wood after learning of his reversal.

"A deeply troubled volunteer misled police, news outlets and our own team in regards to events that he alleged," the campaign said in a statement released Monday.

Oh, and lest we forget.....

The issue of falsely reported hate crimes also came into play before the 2008 presidential election. In October of that year, a Republican campaign volunteer for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) carved a backwards "B" into her own cheek and told police that a black man had done it after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.


Let me know when you have something LEGITIMATE that DOESN'T COME FROM THE BAT-SH*T-CRAZY "DailyCaller"/Tucker Carlson Neanderthals....

Deeply troubled. I would like to know what motivated these people. A desire for attention? Do they want their guy to win that badly that they will beat or burn themselves. I hope he gets help mentally.
