Here are details of another loss for Bob Vander Plaats and the Iowa Family Leader, who  may as well have taken the hundreds of thousands of dollars their donors gave them this election cycle to turn out Iowa Supreme Court Justice David Wiggins and thrown it down the same sewer from which Vander Plaats gathers content for Family Leader attack videos.
     Even Michele Bachmann has never been as brazen as Matt Reisetter (the former Iowa Family Leader staffer who failed yesterday to unseat State Senator Jeff Danielson) when he told Iowa college students at an event he put on entitled “Homosexuality: Is it okay to be gay?” that he was "being honest" in admitting to them (when challenged) that the false accusation he had just told them was a "scare tactic."

Here's an excerpt of his shameless contortions via Keenan Crow of Northern Iowa Democrats.

• “Where does it stop? [...] By logical reasonable outgrowth of people who support same sex marriage, you’ve got to support polygamy, you’ve got to support man-boy relationships with NAMBLA (the National American Man Boy Love Association) they’re advancing that cause right now.”

[During Q&A]

• Cody: I thought it was very curious that you were trying to throw [NAMBLA] in there as a scare tactic and I wanted to address it and ask why you brought up NAMBLA when I think we can all come to the consensus that NAMBLA is somewhat different than consensual male to male or female to female relationships. 
  Matt: I think you’re right, I think I’m probably using that as a scare tactic and I’m being honest.

Below, Matt Reisetter attacked his opponent for trying to tack on an amendment (S-5030 to amendment S-5004 (H.F. 589)) to Iowa's infamous "Ag Gag" law, passed last session despite Danielson's "no" vote, which would imprison people who document animal cruelty undercover in agricultural production facilities in the state. To mitigate this free reign to abuse animals, an amendment was proposed to require oversight of animal treatment in such facilities via internet-connected security cameras for review by state officials to safeguard against abuse. It was defeated and the Ag Gag law, (which Reisetter evidently supports) was passed. Now, in Iowa, livestock owners can engage in practically any degree of sadism they wish, and can get outsiders who bust them put behind bars. The law, which impinges on press freedom, has been called unconstitutional.
