Well, this is a little bit awkward.

By Conover Kennard — August 5, 2022

While Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Beto O'Rourke was speaking at a campaign event, a Texas man who claimed to be a pastor asked Beto questions about abortion while he was armed with what appeared to be a pistol and a semiautomatic assault rifle. You can always identify pro-life conservatives because they always look like they're about to kill a motherf*cker.

The gun fetish guy said that there are "great" men who are the "product of rape."

"How do we deal with the murder of the unborn for anything other than to save a woman's life?" he asked, adding that there are "great men of God who are the product of rape."

Beto thanked the man for the question and just calmly said that they weren't "going to change each other's minds on some of these very basic definitions."

"This decision is best made by the woman, who understands better than anyone else the nature of her pregnancy, the complications it might endure, any other issue that is unique and personal and private as her," Beto said, adding that "more rapes committed in this state than any other state of the Union."...............................

1. Is this the story from 4 days ago?

How is it under LBN?

[TexasTowelie]

4. I posted about the story in the Texas Group on Sunday.

The event occurred the previous day.

[TexasTowelie]

2. This isn't LBN.

The events that you are reporting occurred on Saturday of last week.

5. I was thinking, "Again?"

[Scrivener7]

3. Gungeoneers hate it when we equate size of gun with diminutiveness of penis.

But, really. Does anyone have any doubt at all in their minds about this asshole?

[SharonClark]

7. I'm no gungeoneer but I hate it, too.

It's as dumb as saying blondes are stupid and I always think the poster must be projecting.

[Scrivener7]

9. I'm a woman. Thanks for letting us know your point of view.

But I would point out that gun loons choose to be gun loons. It's a behavior.

Blondes are just blonde. It's a trait. So your analogy is not very good.

[barbtries]

22. many, many blondes choose to be.

I, for instance, was blond from the age of 43 (when I first saw the grey) to about 56, when i said fuck it I'm going to grow out my hair. Now it's all grey in front and brunette on the back half. I can't catch a break.

personally i'm way over the size of the penis dictating the addiction to guns. I'm more about people who are itching to kill somebody. They want an excuse to kill one or many human beings with their guns.

15. It is really just stating the person has zero personal courage.

I immediately think a person wearing a weapon is a coward.

They are going to brandish a weapon in the face of a person cutting in line rather than speaking up?

[ShazzieB]

19. A coward and/or a bully.

"I immediately think a person wearing a weapon is a coward."

My mind goes straight to bully. But we know those 2 things are far from mutually exclusive!

10. It may be little, but it's loud!

6. Jeebus taught vengeance..

Fear my tactical baby carrier ya vermint!

[Timeflyer]

8. What's this "pastor" so afraid of that he needs to be armed?

Isn't his God a mighty fortress? Why the posturing with guns? Does he fear Beto (and how does Beto remain so calm)?

[jaxexpat]

11. One can't be too careful, you know.

Who's to say? There might be, without warning, an immediate need for a well-regulated militia.

[keets]

17. "Pastor" is a

'Man of God'? A 'Man of Peace'?

B. S. !

He's nothing but a smooth-tongued hypocrite wearing deadly weapons.

[onetexan]

12. the deplorables keep clinging to their gods & their guns

[sakabatou]

13. Why does it sound like he was coming to intimidate or kill someone?

[barbtries]

23. I can easily believe he was.

i'd be willing to bet that his fantasy life is chock full of daydreams about that day when he gets to be the good guy with the gun, and kill someone.

[Scrivener7]

28. I think the giant gun is a clue.

[Warpy]

14. We were hoping Abbott would build his wall and extend it up to New Mexico

and keep all those Texas gunslingers home.

While I've seen that distinctive bulge under a sport jacket or the lump under a hoodie, usually in the back, I haven't seen idiots try to parade around dress shops and supermarkets armed for a war. Yet.

Beto's a cool customer. Must've deflated Reverend Killemall considerably that he wasn't particularly intimidated by the big bang bang.

[Marcuse]

16. Logic.

[xocetaceans]

18. It's funny that your post juxtaposes logic and a possibly mythological religious figure who...

was characterized as human, but whom your post claims would be alive today after roughly 2000 years.

Perhaps a "satire" emoticon is necessary for the post. On the other hand, if the post were seriously meant, well....

[3Hotdogs]

20. I can just picture "Pastor's" Sunday Sermons.

"All yiz fuckers that don't believe Jesus is their savior, up against the wall.

The rest of yiz, we need some shovels, fast."

In other words, what a sick fuck.

[pandr32]

21. I would love to ask the armed guy to name a "great man" he alluded to.

It would be interesting.

[barbtries]

24. "my son's a great man" nt

[pandr32]

26. Professor Marvel in the Wizard of Oz...

bragged he was "acclaimed by the Crowned Heads of Europe" and when Dorothy mentioned it he nervously responded "you know any?"

[inthewind21]

25. Gus

are allowed EVERYWHERE in Texas.

[Initech]

29. Well even if this guy is a "pastor", he clearly fails at that.

Especially the "love your fellow man" part.

[SWBTATTReg]

30. This was probably faked and the guy's not a pastor, or at least, he's a mail order pastor. A want-

to-be pastor, one of the worst kinds.

[kimbutgar]

31. Ironic that a guy who claims to be a man of god carries a weapon of war

I doubt this guy is a minister and who the F is he to say his is the only interpretation of the Bible? There is no mention of guns or weapons In the Bible only his deranged interpretation. This christofascists are frickin insane. And as to be a Christian I am a New Testament Christian who follows the real words of Jesus from the sermon on the mount.
