You are right that it's possible to interpret it that way....that's what plausible deniability is all about. Considering the lack of subtlety and the tone of the ad, I sincerely doubt that the creators of the it intended for the citizens of West Virginia to think "well shucks, some Democrats do seem very concerned with prayer or religion in public institutions...how does that jibe with free speech" rather than "holy jesus, lock the doors cause the queers are coming for our bibles!!!!!" It's nice to see that the "America under Assault" meme hasn't been limited to foreign policy matters.
