Paul Broun in MSNBC news programs

On Education: Big Bang & evolution: "lies straight from the pit of hell"

The candidate causing the biggest headache [in the Republican primary] is Paul Broun, a four-term GOP congressman who opposes abortion without exception, thinks the Big Bang and evolution are "lies straight from the pit of hell," (gravity waves be damned), and likened President Obama to Hitler and Karl Marx before he was even inaugurated.

Broun, nicknamed "Dr. No" for his constant ideological votes against House leadership, conceded to MSNBC that, "certainly all our Republicans are conservative to one degree or another."

Democrats are hoping Broun will stay competitive enough to push everyone to the right, but his candidacy could also have a freeing effect: if his rivals assume that Broun has a lock on the most conservative primary voters, they might turn their attention to winning moderate Republicans, many of whom are concentrated in the Atlanta suburbs.
