Mississippi Conservative Calls for Gays to be Put to Death

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)
Quote:Republicans have been furiously attacking the LGBT community ever since President Obama announced his support of marriage equality for same-sex couples. Some Republicans have taken their criticism to the extreme. In Mississippi, GOP state Rep. Andy Gipson posted a message on his Facebook page which calls for putting gays and lesbians to death. On May 10, Gipson made the following post: “Been a lot of press on Obama’s opinion on “homosexual marriage.” The only opinion that counts is God’s: see Romans 1:26-28 and Leviticus 20:13. Anyway you slice it, it is sin. Not to mention horrific social policy.” Later on in the thread, Gipson posts a comment about how homosexuality is “unnatural” and causes “disease.” According to Leviticus 20:13, “If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.” By referring to this Bible verse on his Facebook page, Gipson is in fact, calling for killing homosexuals. And he isn’t apologizing for it either.

In the one presented it comes off as more "the bible says being gay is bad and here is examples". I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.

So by DIRECTLY referencing the specific passage that says "They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads," you think it's a stretch to link that to wanting gays killed? The posts quoted are the Representative's own words, posted by him on his own facebook page. EDIT: Thanks for clarifying. Yeah, he really did post that, and he really did say he won't apologize for it.

Quote:North Carolina still refuses to join the 21st century—and reality—by outlawing gay marriage, and the most zealous citizens have taken homophobia to new heights. After Rev. Sean Harris suggested parents beat their kids into traditional gender roles, another “man of God” has said he thinks all gays and lesbians should be placed behind electric fences and left to die. Here are Pastor Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church’s words of wisdom from last Sunday’s sermon: “I figured a way to get rid of all the lesbians and queers, but I couldn't get it passed through Congress…. Build a great, big, large fence - 50 or 100 mile long - put all the lesbians in there… Fly over and drop some food. Do the same thing with the queers and the homosexuals, and have that fence electrified 'til they can't get out... And you know what, in a few years, they'll die out. Do you know why? They can't reproduce.” Some people treat progress like it’s the plague.

Quote:Massachusetts became the first state to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2004. Such licenses are granted by six states: Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont, plus Washington, D.C. and Oregon's Coquille and Washington state's Suquamish Indian tribes. The states of Washington[1] and Maryland have passed laws in 2012 to begin granting same-sex marriage licenses, but each may be delayed or derailed by November 2012 voter referenda. New Jersey has also passed a resolution recognizing same-sex unions, but it may be vetoed by governor Chris Christie.

Kinda hard to take anything seriously after reading this first line. "outlawing" gay marriage ? It's never been the law of NC or any other state in the union before. How does one outlaw that which isn't a law in the first place ? And as for 'joining the 21st century', wtf? EVERY state in the union which has had the issue of gay marriage on the ballot, the issue has been voted down. Every single time. It's only been activist judges who have imposed gay marriage ( an oxymoron ) onto the public.

Quote:Originally posted by Niki2: Yup, and Raptor was also incorrect in saying "It's only been activist judges who have imposed gay marriage ( an oxymoron ) onto the public." That has been pointed out, and anyone can go to Wikipedia if they need to read the list of each and every state where the LEGISLATURE has passed or rejected same-sex marriage, and where the GOVERNOR has either signed it into law or vetoed it. It's not about "activist" judges at all, and if Raptor wants to claim that he didn't lie (or, perhaps more likely, ignorantly attribute it to judges), then he is incorrect. Turns out he's also incorrect in saying every single time it's been on the ballot, it's been rejected, from what you just posted. Just sayin'.

Quote:Originally posted by BYTEMITE: ? The Arizona law was about same-sex unions AND same-sex marriage. The public voted NOT to ban it. I don't think you're lying, I think you're speaking off the cuff. But it's important even then to try to be as accurate as possible, because when you're not, someone will call you on making a mistake, like my thing up there with New Jersey.

Humans have always rejected the "other"--that one is shared by animals and for the health of the species. We have no such excuse.

Quote:A radio talk-show host who also heads up a Minnesota-based Christian ministry states he intends to persist in fighting for justice in his defamation lawsuit against MSNBC and one of its lesbian liberal anchors. Bradlee Dean is an ordained preacher and executive director of You Can Run but You Cannot Hide International, which is dedicated to restoring morality and values in the youths of America. He sued MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow last year, accusing her of editing and twisting his words to make it seem as though he supports the execution of homosexuals. At one time Dean made a statement on the air criticizing Christians for not having the courage to stand against the radical homosexual lobby even though their lifestyle is directly in contradiction to the holy Bible which Christians claim to be their final authority in all matters of faith and practice and the written word of God. In an attempt to make a point, Dean noted that Muslims take their sincerely held beliefs more seriously than Christians through their enforcement of sharia law. When he made the statement at no time did he condone the Muslim practice of executing homosexuals. This did not stop Maddow who edited the statements and attemptted to convince people that Dean was calling for the public execution of homosexuals. “’She took one minute out of one portion of my radio show in the first report. She omitted one portion, and then … she went to different radio shows and she clipped them in like it was the same radio program,’ Dean explains.” He went on to say Maddow’s selective editing is similar to what NBC did when they invalid a 911 call to convince people that George Zimmerman was a racist. Maddow countered Dean’s suit by filing a motion to dismiss the case. “They’ve endangered my life, my ministry’s life, and if they can do it to me, which they’re not going to do to me, they’ll do this to anybody that lets them get away with it,” he warns. “That’s the bottom line right there; that’s the problem. We’re not going to let them get away with it. And if people keep letting them do this, well, you’re only encouraging them to continue on to do this.” http://www.greeleygazette.com/press/?p=18292

Now, it’s about starting the world. I sent an email to President Obama saying, ‘You are a fucking traitor,’ using those words… ‘You’re a traitor, you allowed foreign boots on our soil telling our military — in this case the coastguard – what they can and could not do, and telling us, the citizens of the United States, what we could or could not do’.” -Peter Fonda, producer of “The Big Fix” about the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Cannes Film Festival 2011, www.infowars.com/peter-fonda-issues-threat-against-obama-is-there-a-dhs-double-standard/ "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will be either be dead or in jail by this time next year.
