Typical republican strategy seen here with the "metrosexual" wink-wink-nod-nod on Obama.

Did George Smathers really defeat Congressman Claude Pepper in a 1950 congressional election by alleging his brother was a "known homo sapien", his sister "a practicing thespian", and accusing him of "matriculating" into college, and practicing "celibacy before marriage"?

Some accept this as fact, others take it for a gag. I have a lot of doubts that these "allegations" would have actually carried through - even assuming a lot of voters in 1950 were paranoid commiephobic rubes.
