"Sizzling," "hot," "Latino" Eduardo Verastegui is telling Spanish-speaking voters in California that they should vote 'Yes' on Prop. 8 because it "helps families and kids." How? Well, actually it doesn't, but that isn't the point, as long as you hit all the brown-n-proud cliches while hammering home a message of discrimination and exclusion. "As a Latino man proud of my community," he says in the clip, "I feel I have been called to fight for traditional marriage between a man and a woman."
Verastegui, a native of Tamaulipas and non-U.S. citizen McCain stumper, also lends his face to a fairly despicable screed against reproductive rights for women, and Barack Obama, whose positions he recklessly distorts. Verastegui's Wiki says he attends Mass daily, and IMDB says he practices abstinence. Hmm.
Voters in California, one hopes, are smarter. The lunacy of people like this clown, and the current Republican nominee for Vice President, is a stark reminder that religious fundamentalism in any form must be rejected as a tool of division, intolerance, and violence. Verastegui is an embarrassment.
