Kerry certainly isn't pushing it. But aren't quite a few other democrats? Edwards? Nevertheless, I see your point. I suppose it does count as a scare tactic.
However, the case for homosexual demonization remains weak. This only strengthens the argument (pretty well, in my estimation) that republicans here are dishonestly demonizing democrats. While wrong, this contrasts with the original claim in being completely unsurprising. Politics involves mudslinging between political groups? Wow.

It's speculation, admittedly. You can take it or leave it. I'm simply saying it's
possible that this particular part of the propaganda was more a matter of hyperbole through imagery, than deliberate misrepresentation. Rereading that second article, a more likely speculation would be that the banned Bible image represented alleged democrat efforts to remove the word God from the pledge, money, ect.
