Republican House candidate: 'Either way, people and stegosaurs were living at the same time'

[kpete]

Allen Quist, a 67-year-old soybean farmer and onetime anti-sodomy crusader who believes that humans and dinosaurs may have coexisted in Southeast Asia as late as the 11th century. [...]

During his time as a state representative, Quist slammed a gay counseling clinic at Mankato State University by comparing it to the Ku Klux Klan (both would be breeding grounds for evil—AIDS, in this case) and went undercover at an adult bookstore and a gay bathhouse in an effort to prove to a local newspaper reporter that they had become a "haven for anal intercourse."

4. No. It's protection against

sodomy.

14. Dang. That is what I was going to say.

5. If You Thought Michele Bachmann Was Out There ...

Meet her mentor, Allen Quist. He believes dinosaurs coexisted with man, women are "genetically predisposed" to subservience—and he's running to join his protégée in Congress.

In one memorable interview, Quist told a British reporter he believed women were "genetically predisposed" to be subservient to men ...

"Unfortunately," Carlson added, "what was bizarre in the '90s is becoming the centerpiece of this new Republican party" ...

6. He's baaaack...

I remember some years ago when he tried unsuccessfully to get the GOP nomination to run for governor (they weren't as deranged back then, and they chose a moderate - a guy who'd probably be a Democrat if he ran again). Quist seemed to be barking mad at the time; evidently he's still nuttier than squirrel shit. He had a small but enthusiastic collection of religious-fanatic supporters, who came to be known as "Quistians."

You gotta wonder about a guy who spends so much time thinking about anal intercourse...

8. and they had cars that had holes in the floor where you ran to start it

9. This kkklown has been a festering boil on the

buttocks of Minnesota politics for 25 years and he clearly ain't getting one bit smarter. The pukes primaried (the truly moderate, now Dem-leaning independent) Governor Arne Carlson with this buttmunch ages ago. Carlson beat him like a gong in the primary on his way to reelection.

10. He must think the Flintstones is actual home movies

[jberryhill]

11. Well, what did he find out on his undercover mission?

You know, if I were pretty sure that something was going on somewhere to which I would object, I don't think my next move would be to go there in order to confirm my belief one way or the other.

13. One of the most subsdized farmers in Minnesota,
