Good grief. Is he determined to completely self-destruct? Cause running around in Mexican wrestling masks and trying to join the Black Caucus are one thing. Spreading misinformation about public health issues is quite another.

People are not amused.

Unfortunately, Campfield is not alone with this particular bit of misinformation. Over the past 7 years, numerous religious-right nut jobs, particularly rrnj's in government and pregnancy crisis centers, have tried pushing this misinformation.

Even Bush the lesser edited the National Cancer Institute in 2002 to reflect there was a link between abortion and breast cancer. Rep Henry Waxman was a champion trying to end this dangerous line of thought/coercion.

It is FALSE information, and as far as I'm concerned, anyone that continues to push this falsity should be charged with being a danger to the general public.

Does this man not have any handlers who can pull him back from the precipice?

His only "handler" appears to be Terry Frank, whose name frequently pops up with his on Google searches. A woman named Terry was the first caller to the Hallerin Hill show last week after Martha Boss had been on air, and worked her way down a list of Campfield defenses. It was pretty professional-grade spin doctoring.
Her devotion to Stacey is all the more impressive (if that's the right word) considering that she's middle of campaigning to be the Republican nominee for the office of Anderson County mayor.

What a creep. The guy is a danger to society.

Why does the Commandment "Thou shalt not have gay sex" overwhelm the one that says "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness"?

Spreading misinformation about public health issues is quite another.

What strikes me is that this is the second time this week he's gone head-to-head with another government agency on a health issue about which only the agency is qualified to speak.

Last week, he was blogging to dispute the Knox County Health Department and this week it's the National Cancer Institute.

Surely, surely that kind of behavior is something the legislature can and should censure???

All that's missing now is the clown costume.

Thanks for the Terry Frank info Betty.

This lunatic has all the necessary characteristics to be a fixture in Tennessee politics for at least the next twenty years.

The guy can be beaten by a decent candidate with two hardworking interns and a financial base willing to counter his major moves. People act like he can't be beat, but he can. It is far less costly and difficult than you guys make it out to be. He's won by desire and that is all it will take to defeat him.

I'm starting to like Politifact again.....

Of course Campfield could be beaten, but only in a GOP primary.

Last time, he won the GOP primary with 39% of the vote.

Ron Leadbetter had 36%.

Steve Hill had 22%

And some guy who posts constantly on Stacey's FB page, Nick Ciparro, had a few, thus giving credence to the stories that Campfield always gets a ringer or two into the race to help split up the vote. But Ciparro didn't help him -- Steve Hill, who entered the race late, did. He had NO chance to win, but seemed to believe he did. Without him, Campfield would not have won.

Of course Leadbetter, who is a generation older than Campfield, was, back in the day, considered just about as right-wing crazy as Stacey is now.

Hill, who ran around badmouthing Stacey during his failed campaign ended up getting appointed as the seat warmer after Burchett stepped down from the senate seat after the primary. Hill then
gave Stacey money and publicly supported him.

So as long as there is no strong candidate who announced early, and there are retired guys with large egos splitting up the anybody-but-Stacey vote, he's pretty safe.

Been thinking about that monkey love:

To pass on the virus, wouldn't it have been the monkey doing the screwing? How would that work?
Would the guy wanting to have sex with the monkey have to seduce him? Take him out to a monkey dinner?
And hell, monkeys are mean. Remember that chimp up in Connecticut that ripped that woman's face off?
Maybe Stacey is more familiar with this kind of thing than I.

Probably involved plying him with banana daiquiris.

What would one wear if one's objective were to get lucky with a monkey?

I'm assuming this was homosexual sex with the monkey, cause everybody knows you can't catch AIDS from heterosexual sex.

Cube for Rachel.
