Tea Party Candidate Says It's OK To Stone Gays To Death
By Ed Mazza

Scott Esk, a Republican Tea Party candidate in Oklahoma, got into a debate on Facebook last summer in which he advocated killing homosexuals.
I think we would be totally in the right to do it, Esk wrote in comments uncovered by Oklahoma journalist Rob Morris. That goes against some parts of libertarianism, I realize, and Im largely libertarian, but ignoring as a nation things that are worthy of death is very remiss.
When pressed, Esk added: "I never said I would author legislation to put homosexuals to death, but I didnt have a problem with it."
-snip-
The Raw Story notes that in other Facebook posts, Esk has said that laws punishing gays should be instituted locally so people "can decide for themselves whether they want to live in a particular community based in part on how things like this are dealt with.
