Culturally conservative Muslims apparently like his opposition to such things as gay relationships on television. It would be like 10%of Palm Beach County voting for Pat Buchanan because of his "family values" (although in Pat's case, the values would be the family of Josef and Magda Goebbels). Marty Peretz' favorite candidate is a closet Fascist, huh? And we make fun of the gymnastics FRENCH candidates attempt.
