Doctor generates buzz with 'sodomites' comment in GOP release

[Keith Olbermann]

HOUSTON – Voters are used to all kinds of rhetoric in campaigns.
Keith Bolden is no exception.

“You use these buzz words to try and excite,” said Bolden. “The
only person’s sex life you should be concerned about is the
person you’re having sex with.”

What Democratic voter Bolden is talking about is what was issued
by the re-election campaign of Harris County Republican Party
Chairman Jared Woodfill.

In a party news release, Dr. Steve Hotze, the president of the
Conservative Republicans of Texas said:

“Our Founding Fathers would be furious to find out that the
Constitution was being interpreted to allow sodomites to marry.”

This statement came after a judge’s ruling this week that
overturned the Texas ban on same-sex marriage.

“I don’t know how I could be any clearer,” said Hotze. “This
whole issue is about judicial liberal activism that is trying to
redefine marriage.”

Woodfill wouldn’t talk specifically about Hotze’s choice of
words but answered like this.

“The terminology I want attached is this judge has been a
liberal activist and he has violated the law of this state.”

KHOU political analyst Bob Stein says the word used was supposed
to get attention and that was accomplished.

“The best way to do that is to get a loud vocal voice,” said
Stein. “The fact that you’re covering this story is a lot of
free media for Jared Woodfill.”

Woodfill’s opponent Paul Simpson sent KHOU 11 News a statement
saying in part:

“We who stand for traditional marriage need to articulate our
principles in a reasoned way to convince our fellow citizens to
agree with us. That requires always showing common courtesy and
practicing charity toward everyone, even those we disagree with.”
