Pastor Scott Lively qualifies for November ballot, five-candidate field for governor likely | masslive.com

Springfield pastor Scott Lively has qualified for the November ballot as an independent candidate for governor.

The Secretary of the Commonwealth's office confirmed Wednesday that Lively's campaign submitted 11,494 valid signatures, far above the 10,000 needed to secure ballot access as an independent this fall.

Lively joins the future Republican and Democratic nominees as well as independent candidate Evan Falchuk as candidates certified for the November ballot.

A third independent candidate, investor Jeff McCormick, submitted approximately 12,3000 signatures for his campaign this fall and is waiting for his official certification.

Who is Scott Lively?

Well:

Scott Lively - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Along with Kevin E. Abrams, Lively co-authored the book The Pink Swastika. Abrams and Lively state in the preface that "homosexuals [are] the true inventors of Nazism and the guiding force behind many Nazi atrocities."[13]

The premise of Lively and Abrams' book has been heavily criticized as a "pernicious myth",[14] "utterly false"[15] and "a flat-out lie",[16] and several historians have questioned Abrams and Lively's claims and selective use of research.[14][17][18][19][20]...

In March 2009, Lively, along with evangelical activists Don Schmierer and Caleb Lee Brundidge, arrived in Kampala to give a series of talks. "The theme of the event, according to Stephen Langa, its Ugandan organizer, was 'the gay agenda — that whole hidden and dark agenda' — and the threat homosexuals posed to Bible-based values and the traditional African family."[8]

"[T]housands of Ugandans, including police officers, teachers and national politicians", reportedly attended the conference.[8] Lively and his colleagues "discussed how to make gay people straight, how gay men often sodomized teenage boys and how 'the gay movement is an evil institution' whose goal is 'to defeat the marriage-based society and replace it with a culture of sexual promiscuity.'"[8] Lively wrote days later that "someone had likened their campaign to 'a nuclear bomb against the gay agenda in Uganda.'"[8]

The talks inspired the development of a private member's Anti-Homosexuality Bill in the Ugandan parliament.[21] The bill, submitted in November 2009, called for the death penalty in some cases, and received international opprobrium.[21][22][23]

Just a taste of his bile:







And another interesting moment:



It sure doesn't look like the Republican candidate will win the Governorship of MA, anyway, but an extreme-right winger like Lively on the ballot may take a point or two away from the GOP candidate.

Good for him. If he wants to embarass himself and make his name Mudd on a national stage more power to him.

He will never get to a national stage. Though his thought process is totally screwed, he does get to a correct conclusion. That's why he has gotten the kind of support he has. Gays have gotten obnoxious enough to touch a nerve.

In a way, gays in pursuing the same kind of civil rights path as blacks have, reached the same result. Only faster. Isn't anyone disturbed by this kind of man getting this kind of support? He's not going to win his bid for governor. There's no chance of that. Pay attention to how many votes he gets. That's the indication of how fed up the people are. Fed up in MA is really fed up and should ring a warning bell someplace.
