Bigots for Monserrate

As reported on Liz Benjamin's Daily Politics blog, some grammatically challenged supporters of former State Senator Hiram Monserrate have been handing out fliers in local churches urging voters to oppose Assemblyman Jose Peralta's efforts to replace Monserrate. The fliers mock Peralta, a staunch supporter of marriage equality, as a "gay caballero" and a "leading spokesperson for the gay community's [sic] in NYC."

The special election to fill Monserrate's former seat will take place on March 16.
