Tea Party Big Wig Marc Rubio Accepts "Biblical Slavery" Endorsement

At an Orlando rally on September 15th, 2010 Florida gubernatorial candidate Marco Rubio appeared together onstage with Texas evangelist David Barton and accepted Barton’s political endorsement. Barton has promoted an unusual take on the historic institution of slavery in America – it was wrong, but not because slavery is always wrong. American slavery was wrong because it wasn’t Biblical slavery, as defined in the Old Testament books of Leviticus, Exodus, and Deuteronomy. Barton was a headline speaker at the rally, so it wasn't just a fringe nod.
