GOP Candidate: Colorado Gay Congressman Will 'Behead Christians' Who Don’t Worship Sodomy

[big_dog]

Republican nominee for a seat in Colorado’s statehouse accused Democrats of lacking a sense of humor after he said a gay U.S. congressman would soon start beheading Christians. “This weekend I sent out an email alert to my constituents in which I used hyperbole,” Gordon Klingenschmitt said in a video uploaded to YouTube on Monday. “You know what hyperbole is. It’s a literary device where you exaggerate to make a point. Well, apparently some Democrats do not have a sense of humor and they were offended by some of the things I said using hyperbole this weekend.”

An email alert sent out by Klingenschmitt over the weekend stated that Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO) wanted to execute Christians, reported Right Wing Watch. “The openly homosexual Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO) introduced a revised bill to force Christian employers and business owners to hire and promote homosexuals with ZERO RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS for Christians who want to opt out.” “Polis ‘wants sexual orientation and gender identity treated the same way as race, religion, sex, and national origin, when it comes to employment protections,’ claims the Advocate, under the headline ‘Polis trims ENDA’s religious exemption.’”

“Dr. Chaps’ comment: The open persecution of Christians is underway. Democrats like Polis want to bankrupt Christians who refuse to worship and endorse his sodomy. Next he’ll join ISIS in beheading Christians, but not just in Syria, right here in America,” the email said. Republican and Democratic leaders in Colorado denounced the email, which was distributed less than a week after Islamic State jihadists released a video that showed the beheading of kidnapped U.S. journalist James Foley.

In his video, Klingenschmitt admitted it was wrong to compare Polis to Islamic State extremists — even though the gay congressman was “persecuting Christian business owners here in America.” Klingenschmitt, who won a primary election in June, hopes to replace state Rep. Mark Waller (R-Colorado Springs).

1. It was a simple mistake.

Klingenschmitt just misunderstood the phrase "giving head."

[daleanime]

3. DUzy

[Iggo]

4. Exactly what I was thinking.

"That's not the kind of head they're talking about."

[CJCRANE]

2. Religious fundamentalism in America.

Religious fundamentalism in the Middle East.

[hifiguy]

11. Loopy religulous bullshit by any other name

would sound just as stoopid.

[CJCRANE]

12. They need each other

and feed off each other.

Pushing traditional secular values and liberal democracy is the way to take away their power.

[hifiguy]

13. They really do.

It's a perfectly symbiotic relationship of two closely related forms of complete insanity.

5. It's always just a joke

When they get called on their bullshit.

[justiceischeap]

6. I don't think the repub has a clue what persecution really is

That's a bit more of his hyperbole, right?

[MindPilot]

7. Sometimes hyperbole crosses the line to stupid.

That appears to have happened in this case.

[shraby]

8. He makes me want to vomit.

[wandy]

9. This Teapublican sense of humor is getting old ya know.

[jmowreader]

10. Let's make this asshole really happy

Add sexual orientation to ENDA and remove religion. Right now, it is totally legal in many states to walk up to your best employee, one who brings none of his personal life to the office, and tell him, "son, we just found out yer playin' fer the wrong team. My Bible says to kill you, and you have thirty seconds to get the fuck out of my parking lot before I do that," but it is almost impossible to fire a cashier who puts Chick tracts in with people's orders and tells Muslims they're going to hell unless they convert.

14. To invoke a classic Robin Williams line, DUers could arrange to

have his house invaded by gay burglars who will redecorate the place and rearrange the furniture.

15. They're just...not...funny.

[Orsino]

16. Klingenschmitt has sex with children and farm animals hyperbolically. n/t

[3catwoman3]

17. Hyperbole, eh?

More like egregiously bad taste coupled with a very warped idea of what constitutes a "sense of humor."

[Initech]

18. A religious extremist bigot like Klingenschmitt has no place in public office.

He's a worthless excuse for a human being. His hatred of the LGBT community is vile , obscene and almost Hitler-esque. He should not be in any office in any country.
