A freeper just posted this on a local news site. I can't believe it!!!!
A person who uses the username "sawdust" posted this reply regarding an article about our state's ban on gay marriages. It is so abhorrent that I'm actually shocked by it.

Sawdust wrote: "Give them a license, then give real Americans a hunting license."

1. Why be shocked?
That's exactly the element we're dealing with. Welcome to the Culture War.

2. Well, I knew that people were against gays on the right but I never...
thought one of them would advocate opening hunting season on them and killing them.

I'm ashamed the author of that post is human let alone from my own state.

18. Some of these goddamned savages truly believe
That what happenned to Matthew Sheppard and James Byrd should be the norm, not the sickeningly brutal exception.

A religious right wacko (Ellen Craswell) who once ran for governor in Washington State actually advocated the death penalty for homosexuals!

3. An attempt to whoop up some testosterone
by one who has about an inch dangling between his legs while he contends with penis envy. Oh, how those gay marriages are really going to upset the sancitity of - of what?? Me thinks the ignorant bastard protests too much.

4. Actual Sawdust is on to something
It is unnatural for gays to marry as it is for people to drive cars and Sawdust to own a gun.

5. That pretty much sums up the right-wing wackos out here
in the red states.

You should see the letters to the editor in our local newspaper. You'd get the impression that homosexuality was a capital offense.

Idiots.

7. In my local paper
In my local paper they are calling to arrest the people responsible for issuing the licenses and are appalled that homosexuals would so visiblly break the law.

6. This is the attitude of people who support the NRA.
I wonder how those gun lovers feel about what "Sawdust" wrote.

10. Hate Club
Don't be shocked.

People like this are angry and feel as if they are under attack. When they are attacked, their values demand the use of force to defend. It is not illogical at all, even though we in a civil society can find it abhorrent.

The key is to get to the root of the anger. Otherwise the hatred will not cease, on either side.

13. There is some humor
there, but in a slapstick over the top black humor kind of way.

I really doubt whoever posted this was serious.

14. He's serious. He's had other posts before in which he calls Latinos
things like "Bean-eaters" and "taco heads."

16. lol, if so I can imagine what type of guy this is
I am seeing a country bumpkin who has an extensive gun collection, watches Fox news on the tv constantly, and wears overalls.

15. I dunno, I've seen the same sort of humor expressed on DU
:shrug:

I think it sucks and shows a borderline personality, but that's the state of the homo sapiens species.

19. Actually, they would consider "homo sapiens" offensive too.
Rumor is that Santorum is sponsoring a constitutional ammendment to change the name of your species to "hetero sapiens" even as we speak.

17. The name "sawdust" seems appropriate
His head is apparently stuffed with it.
