(via Iowa Radio Host Jan Mickelson Endorses Ahmadinejad’s Views On Homosexuality | Blog | Media Matters for America)

Iowa radio host Jan Mickelson opened his show Tuesday by concurring with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that homosexuality is an “ugly behavior” and accusing CNN’s Piers Morgan of “moral, intellectual bankruptcy” for broaching the subject in an interview with the leader Monday night.

This was not Mickelson’s first foray into anti-gay commentary. He has referred to the LGBT community as a “religious cult,” and suggested that AIDS is God’s “invention” to “punish” the “stupid behavior” of homosexuality, which forced Clear Channel Communications (which owns the 50kW WHO-AM 1040) to issue an on-air statement criticizing Mickelson.
