So much for being "Strong". Rick Perry runs from people asking why he's intent on demonizing gays

Rick Perry took another shot at Mitt Romney's offer of a $10,000 bet, but the Texas governor found himself under fire himself Sunday, heckled at a campaign stop over anti-gay bias, including by a man identifying himself as a Marine veteran from the Iraq war.

The heckling followed Perry's brief remarks to Iowa voters at a coffee shop in downtown Ames.

"Why are you demonizing gay and lesbian people?" shouted one heckler.

The governor did not respond to the hecklers and left the coffee shop shortly afterward.

Perry/Bachmann - Together, they can run... from the gays.

whenever he talks. IMO it has far more to do with him than just getting the bigot and hateful votes.
