Tea Party Hopeful: Death to Gay People

[blkmusclmachine]

Bible based genocide. (Or God will be very, very angry..)


http://firebrandprogressives.org/oklahoma-tea-party-candidate-calls-for-homosexuals-to-be-stoned-to-death/

Meet Scott Esk, Tea Party candidate for Oklahoma State House District 91. Esk, on his political website, believes that our rights come from God, and not from government, and is a big proponent of state rights. And he offers the usual Tea Party platform, being 100% pro-gun, pro-family, pro-life and low taxes.

Esk first claims that Leviticus 20:13 gives people the right to judge others, and goes on to claim that it is man’s role to put others to death for homosexuality. Then he goes on to claim that if we don’t start killing homosexuals that God may send a series of “calamities”

And then it gets worse...

1. Christian Dominionism/New Apostolic Reformation Theology

[DhhD]

17. Theology Light hiding behind the Teaology moneychangers.

[gordianot]

2. This is typical now for American Right Wing neo fascist 20 years ago it would be a scandal.

[stillwaiting]

3. They are becoming more and more Nazi-like with every passing year.

They seem to have no problem with prison labor camps either.

[LW1977]

7. but I thought the Nazis were liberals

..but yoy wouldn't believe how many websites pop-up saying Nazism is a liberal thing on google search when looking it up.

[nxylas]

29. They are mostly parroting Jonah Goldberg

Though the "Nazis were left-wing because their party has the word Socialist in its name" meme pre-dates Goldberg's book by some years.

[arcane1]

15. No, silly, Nazis don't kill gays; they give them health insurance!

[tofuandbeer]

26. I think they've always been there, but now that the Koch's have blessed them with the tea party name

they're crawling out from under their rocks.

[erronis]

37. Koch-baggers

[hrmjustin]

43. Calling people plants are not helping you here.

[stillwaiting]

44. Fuck you for calling me a conservative plant. nt

[hrmjustin]

47. Well said!

[arcane1]

45. Um, Nazis stood for death to gay people. Killed them, in fact.

So it's not really a stretch to call it Nazi-like when one calls for the death of gay people.


But thanks for your concern.

[stillwaiting]

46. Thanks for the backup here.

That poster's account was active from 2003.

Crazy.

4. Whoever is running against this guy ought to hit him hard with The Constitution,

especially the First Amendment :

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.


They are so twisted, these tea party twerps. Really twisted. They have every right to sound off with all their twisted ideas, their hate, and their bigotry, but have absolutely ZERO right to turn their twisted so-called "Christian" beliefs into law.

[Aristus]

9. And then hit him with the Declaration of Independence:

"Governments are instituted among men (italics mine), deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

[rickyhall]

24. "Whoever is running against this guy

ought to hit him hard with The Constitution," RIGHT IN THE BALLS!

[workinclasszero]

5. Does that surprise anyone?

They've already went to African countries and got anti-gay laws passed that carry the death penalty for being gay.

And they will do the same thing here if they get the power.

With the amount of purists on this site alone vowing to never vote for Hillary helping them get elected, it just might happen!

[yellowcanine]

6. Guess he missed Leviticus 20:9. His death by stoning list is too short.

"'Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. Because they have cursed their father or mother, their blood will be on their own head." Leviticus 20 verse 9 NIV

And of course there is much more. Extensive list of what could get one stoned to death here:

http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/says_about/stoning.html

[workinclasszero]

10. Right...they always leave out the kill your smart ass kids part

I wonder why?

Jesus said judge not, they also ignore that one and 99% of everything Jesus said.

[yellowcanine]

14. If we followed Leviticus, there wouldn't be anyone left to do the stoning after awhile.

[Aristus]

8. "I'm pro-life, except that I want to kill everybody I don't like.

Other than that, yeah. Totally pro-life."

[Initech]

20. Exactly, he's the very type of hypocrite Jesus warned us about.

[MynameisBlarney]

38. I totally quoted you over on Raw Story

Your post was just too darn good not to share with my chumrades there.

[Aristus]

40. Thank you.

[MynameisBlarney]

41. You're welcome

[toby jo]

11. well gee dog, them middle eastern dark-aged, misogynist, patriarchal men had it all going on.

They spit up a theology that butchered this man's elders and now he's so deep into the kool-aid he can't see out.

Love thy neighbor some other time, eh?

[Kablooie]

12. These people always put Leviticus above everything else in the bible.

And of course they ignore the other Leviticus laws.
God was so thoughtful when he wrote the bible.
You can pick and choose clauses to support just about any kind prejudice you want.

[LynneSin]

13. Exodus 20:13 trumps this asshole

Thou Shalt not kill

[SoapBox]

19. +1

But then again, they like to just make shit up as they go...Cafeteria Christianity.

[Initech]

21. They also seem to skip over these commandments:

Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors goods

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

16. And if a tornado sweeps him up?

Or maybe a security camera catches him going into a Bath House?

Is this just the primary now, or is he the candidate running, and who is the Democrat running.

(Bartcop, maybe you could lend a hand, or are we on our own?)

Thank you BMM for bringing this to our attention.

18. Old testament Law as everyone knows is

no longer practiced.
From one source: http://www.gaychristian101.com/Leviticus.html

The Old Testament Law Had An Ending Point. The Law ended when the Jewish Messiah, Jesus Christ, died for the sins of the world.

God never intended that Leviticus 18:22 & 20:13 should be applied to Christians in the twenty first century.

[smallcat88]

22. Ever notice

how these right wing nuts always quote the Old Testament, ignoring the fact that the New Testament contradicts a lot of the Old? One of the reasons I haven't called myself a Christian for over 30 years.

Pro-gun and pro-life: total contradiction.

[LeftishBrit]

23. If that's his attitude, why doesn't he just go and join the Taliban?

[nxylas]

33. Too many brown people

The Tealiban is much purer.

[heaven05]

25. this is what

people in virginia and around the nation are celebrating. This party that defeated Cantor. It's like defeating tuberculosis and finding out one has cancer that may or may not be operable. Man! The political process is getting downright insane with these tea party clowns in the running.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

27. I bet he's against weed too....

How many times must we point out the misinterpretation?

[IrishAyes]

28. I'll TRY to read the rest AFTER I choke down a gallon of Pepto first.

No promises, though.

Thanks for the OP, btw. First I ever heard that one. Repugnant though it is, WE NEED TO KNOW.

[MynameisBlarney]

30. As I posted in another forum...

"Fuck this shit.
These anti-American Talibangelicals represent a clear and present danger to this nation and they need to be officially dealt with.
Now.
This is the kinda shit all those damn federal agencies are supposed to be protecting us from.
Time to earn your paychecks ladies and gents."

[Politicub]

31. The extermination of the undesirables will be swift and brutal

If the Tea Party somehow gets a toehold in the 3 branches of government.

But, I see bushit like what he spewed as a death rattle of the Tea party/gop.

[EEO]

32. Education and secularism is the cure.

[lib87]

34. Tell Him Not to Cherry Pick From the Old Testament

He better be preaching at every seafood shack in the state that they all deserve to be stoned for participating in the consumption of shellfish.

And wait! It looks like he shaved his facial hair too. Isn't he willfully sinning? Will he volunteer to be the first one stoned?

What a hateful joke this 'man' is.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

35. ugh.

[americannightmare]

36. These people should not be able to call themselves Christians!

Old Testamentarians, maybe...but they clearly do not espouse the teachings of the Galilean carpenter known as Jesus Christ.

[Dawson Leery]

39. A greater threat than the 5 taliban who were released.

Esk can achieve real power in this country. The taliban and their kind cannot.
