NOM sign calls for murder.
NOM sign calls for murder. The anti-gay National Organization of Marriage took its nationwide bus tour to Indianapolis on Monday, where one supporter delivered a deadly message.

In a demonstration, NOM ally Larry Adams held up a sign stating that the “solution to marriage” would be to “put to death” all gay people. The sign boosted its message with an image of two nooses and a biblical quote from Leviticus 20:13, “their blood shall be upon them.”

Gay-marriage advocacy group Freedom to Marry has issued a statement condemning NOM’s hateful message.

“Freedom to Marry calls on NOM to repudiate the anti-gay prejudice that underlies its political agenda and fuels its attack campaigns,” said Evan Wolfson, executive director of Freedom to Marry. “NOM’s “Summer for Marriage” anti-gay bus tour has devolved from a media gimmick to a display of prejudice and incitement to violence.”

1. This will be reported on Fox News tonight because the truth is always reported by the MSM...
...in an alternate universe.

2. Ugly. You can see the original sign calling for the lynching of gays here:

Along with an interview of the person who was holding the sign. I mean, what can you say to someone like that? When the opposition disagrees not just with your political position but with your very right to exist, there's no debate to be had.

3. not a problem. I'll make NOM a deal right here
PM me and I'll meet with you in person. Bring the media or not. I do draw the line at murder and lynching however, so instead I am going to start collecting your balls and making teeny little coin purses out of them.

I am serious. Bring it. If you want to threaten us with lynching, you better not bring the kids to this picnic because you're what's for lunch.

5. Aww...geez...and I thought that asshole Phelps was bad.
These creeps are running TV ads in my area. I wonder if they'll use this meme in an upcoming ad. May their testicles shrivel up and fall off.

6. from your friends at NOM
This is hate speech. No doubt about it. I am absolutely for free speech, but that is different than calling for someone's death. This is beyond the pale.

7. I passed this on to a friend
and she was wondering where the graphic came from because neither of us can find it on the link to the water cooler.

Is this a depiction of the sign that someone held up.

This is so beyond frightening...

8. But they don't hate us
And you really can't disparage them. They're merely defending their deeply held religious beliefs. It would be persecution to say anything against them for what they've been taught, and what they believe.

9. THESE are the people we should be at war with
THESE are people we should only see over gun barrels.

They are the enemy. They will not back down. They will not go away. They will not stop their destruction.

Satan wouldn't stoop to talk to them.

11. Here's the original.


Video at the linked pic.

At least the fucker is honest: They all want us dead, but precious few are willing to admit it.

12. OK Something Needs to Be Done... K&R
I have been saying this for sometime now, ever since I heard that people are publicly saying shit like this. Or do we have to wait until some GLBT person is lynched, shot, beaten to death...I don't give a damn about a hundred First Amendments! The right to free speech needs to end when stuff like this is advocated.
