A liberal activist group is urging Republicans to repudiate a comic book being touted by conservative evangelist Jerry Falwell that portrays Michael Dukakis as a supporter of witchcraft and bestiality.
Falwell is urging his followers to paper the political landscape with copies of the 30-page book, titled “Magical Mike: The Real Story of Mike Dukakis.” Among other things, it depicts the Democratic presidential nominee in a dress, wig and pearls.
“The last thing the Bush campaign, the Republican Party and the presidential campaign need is the distribution of 10 million copies of a comic book that’s chock full of enough intolerance to offend just about everyone except Jerry Falwell,” John Buchanan, chairman of People for the American Way, said Friday.
