Rachel Maddow on GOP gay rights split; Romney's newest lie: denying he said Arizona''s anti-Latino 'papers please' law was a model for US

Kansas' Secretary of State and Romney immigration adviser
Kris Kobach wrote Arizona's 'Papers Please' law, which
initially made walking down the street without immigration
documents a misdemeanor
...This is the nondiscrimina­tion policy for Liberty University's law school. Try to make sense of this: "In its employment practices, the  School of Law does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, but does discriminate on the basis of homosexual conduct."

How do they know? They're saying they won't fire you if you are gay but they will fire you if you act gay? What if you're straight and you act gay? What if you're not sure but you're just generally fabulous?

...How do you win Latino voters [Romney is at an unsustainable 14% among that group] when you adopt as your immigration advisor the guy who wrote the Arizona 'Papers, please' law which initially proposed that the police should be able to walk up to you on the street and demand to see your immigration papers, not if you were doing anything illegal, but if you just looked like you might conceivably be illegal based on something about how you looked.
