Why do guys named Steve embarass Iowa all the time
We have Steve King, who makes an ass of himself on a regular basis for all to see. Then we have this Steve, Steve Scheffler - who is the head of Iowa Christian Alliance - sending a nasty email message to a gay person;

Iowa’s Republican National Committeeman sent an e-mail this week to a gay member of his party who is considering a run for president and told him he would work overtime to ensure that his campaign aspirations are aborted.

“You and the radical homosexual community want to harass supporters of REAL marriage,” Steve Scheffler wrote in an e-mail to Fred Karger, a longtime civil rights advocate in California who is gay and has announced he is running for president. “. . . I will work overtime to help ensure that your political aspirations are aborted right here in Iowa.”

Karger, the founder of Californians Against Hate, said he is shocked that one of Iowa’s highest-ranking members of his party would express such disdain.

“The fact that he made such hateful comments, I think is very offensive,” Karger said. “I certainly think he owes me an apology.”


What the hell is it about guys named Steve in Iowa politics?
