"SNIP.......

Robert Foster (R), a former Mississippi House lawmaker who lost a 2019 bid for governor, called for the execution of those who support the rights of transgender people, the Mississippi Free Press reports.

Said Foster: “The law should be changed so that anyone trying to sexually groom children and/or advocating to put men pretending to be women in locker rooms and bathrooms with young women should receive the death penalty by firing squad.”

......SNIP"

1. No shame.

[LenaBaby61]

2. Culture War and Wedge issues ....

Are all the GQP US Taliban Putin Party has. If the truth be told, these culture wars are starting to drawing people's support who'd normally NOT support such shit unfortunately, but due to religious reasons.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

6. Bigotry. Not "culture war" or "wedge issues"

Culture war shit would be arguing over whether a teenager should be allowed to play Grand Theft Auto V, or all the pearl-clutching in the 80's over MTV and rock videos.

This is outright bigotry, terrorism and fascism.

It'd be nice if the Democrats decided to be shout louder than the QOP about this, instead of letting them frame the dialogue - as usual.

Robert Foster, GOP governor candidate, denies woman reporter access because of her gender
by Larrison Campbell
July 9, 2019

In recent weeks, in an attempt to better inform readers about candidates in the upcoming Republican gubernatorial primary, Mississippi Today has asked to shadow each contender seeking the GOP nomination.

Bill Waller, a former state supreme court chief justice, and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves agreed to ride alongs with Mississippi Today reporter Adam Ganucheau.

The other candidate — state Rep. Robert Foster, R-Hernando — declined my request to shadow his campaign, however, because I am a woman.

4. Come and get me then

Come on little boy. I'd love to see you try to execute me. If you and anyone want your face blasted off your body that is

[I_UndergroundPanther]

11. please let me punch the disgusting sneer off his ugly face first.

than blow him apart. Let him know a transman can punch as hard as any other man can before he dies.

[vercetti2021]

13. Of course

And a transwoman can shoot a gun. Biggest thing they fear is us

[colsohlibgal]

5. What An Ignorant Jerk

The world would be better minus people like him.....Hitler would have loved this Creep.

[Deuxcents]

7. What is it with them wanting to execute people with different opinions/lifestyles?

[IngridsLittleAngel]

8. Terrorists gotta terrorize. That's why.

That said.. It's not "lifestyles"... It's different orientations/gender identity.

[vercetti2021]

9. Fascists gotta fascist

But what if a trans person can indeed shoot back at them? Oops. Might fucked around and found out too soon

[I_UndergroundPanther]

12. its the christianity and narcissism

[Mariana]

18. His religion inspires him to fantasize about killing people

who don't believe as he does.

[ck4829]

24. It's a fetish at this point

"Hey baby, wanna kill all people who disagree?"

[harumph]

10. I want the same for him. There. Easy.

[walkingman]

14. It's Texas, I mean Mississippi, what do you expect?

[smirkymonkey]

15. What is with people like this?

What kind of fucked up psychological bullshit must be going on in their heads to make them this way?

[Mariana]

19. Religion, mostly. nt.

[Withywindle]

28. Unfortunately I've encountered atheists who hate LGBTQ people just as much

They couch it in "evolutionary psychology" and insist people like us shouldn't exist because it makes no sense because heterosexual reproduction is the point of evolution or whatever.

Atheist authoritarian regimes have historically been almost as quick to kill and imprison us as theocracies are. I'm not saying patriarchal religion isn't a factor, it absolutely is. But the absence of it doesn't really guarantee safety.

[Mariana]

29. Yes, that's why I said "religion, mostly" instead of "religion, always".

It is true in this case. Robert Foster is a Christian.

[smirkymonkey]

34. Then they probably hate people like me too, and many of my friends since we haven't

reproduced either, and many of us are hetero. Just don't want kids and don't think it's a good idea to bring them into this world. Why can't people just mind their own business? Both religious and non-relgious (although the religious are worth).

What is it that makes them such control freaks? People who are LGBTQ and/or childless aren't affecting their personal lives in any way. Why can't they just live and let live?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

16. Who is surprised by this?

These people are all assholes and haters

[jalan48]

17. American Taliban.

[lame54]

20. By firing squad...

Earns him an NRA check

[BlueIdaho]

21. Do these people ever listen to themselves?

I suppose he tells people he’s a God fearing Christian while wanting to play god himself.

[applegrove]

22. And I thought Christians were against the death penalty.

[BlueIdaho]

23. Honest one's are.

[Mariana]

31. When has that ever been true?

Some denominations of Christianity are against the death penalty today, but there has never been a time that the whole of Christianity opposed it.

[FuzzyRabbit]

25. So much for the 6th Commandment.

I don't claim to be christian and even I know the Commandments.

[Mariana]

33. Let's see if his church expels him for making this statement.

It's more likely that he'll be held up and praised as a champion of the faith.

[Rhiannon12866]

26. I have never understood why or how anyone else's personal lives are anyone else's business

Someone else's same gender marriage, pregnancy choices or sexual identity only affects the people involved and should not be subject to legislation.

[Hekate]

27. Utter insanity. Terrifying that anyone like this is walking around loose. nt

[Hotler]

32. They want to be able to kill anyone with a "D" next to their name.

And they want to be able to do it openly in the street.

[smirkymonkey]

35. That's the bottom line.

Ultimately, I think that what they are going for.
