Local Official Defends "Humorous" Facebook Post About Shooting Muslims
Barry West, a commissioner for Coffee County, Tennessee, apparently thinks there's only one appropriate way to wink at a Muslim, and it involves a double-barreled shotgun. He posted the above image to his Facebook timeline...where Muslim activists found it. And West's home phone number.

Tensions have run high between Muslims and Islamophobes for some time in Middle Tennessee, ever since the construction of a mosque in Murfreesboro was met with gunshots, bomb threats and arson attempts. West made clear what he thought of Qu'ran believers when a local paper contacted him to ask about the Facebook image:

West, who represents Manchester’s District 11, said Tuesday he found the image and statement on Facebook and posted it because “I thought it was humorous.”

If you want to call the guy on his crap, his facebook had his home phone number on it.

12. I bet

That the calls are rolling in on this ass clown! Especially since it was posted on DU!

Fucking creep. Undoubtedly a xenophobic racist freeper asshole.

I don't care if anyone pointed out the fact that he is a democrat or not, this is a right-winger no matter what anyone says.

13. Bonnaroo is held in the county where he was elected. Bonnaroo fans could threaten to purchase goods

in surrounding counties. I realize people probably wouldn't stop going to Bonnaroo over this idiot, but they could threaten a boycott of larger businesses in the county. Bonnaroo brings in alot of money to Coffee County, can't tell you how much, but I know a boycott of certain things would show the racist voters in coffee county (not all of them) that they don't live in a bubble. I hope soomeone with more facebook fans can start something. If not a boycott, something symbolic like wear a green ribbon if you don't support West's views. Something.

14. Ah, religious war

Such a novel and 21st century idea!

This jackass needs to be removed from office. Hopefully voters will have a choice other than another shit-for-brains.
