A Republican member of the Mississippi House of Representatives has called for lynching anyone who removes a Confederate monument, including lawmakers in a neighboring state.

“They should be LYNCHED!” Oliver wrote in comments posted on his Facebook page.

1. He'd rather look at the "glory days" of the past than tackle their problems of today

Like their 22% poverty rate.

I'm sure, though, a lot of his voters share that sentiment.

2. How about we kick those "confederate" states out. They do not need to secede.

We can build a wall and make them pay for it.

[DK504]

12. I have to escape first.

Living here in Mississishitti is a daily wonder in stupidity. Every day people write into the "newspapers" defending the Traitor. Of course there is the group of drooling idiots that blame the Democrats for Obama's administration for dragging us from the abyss.

[Luciferous]

13. Me too! I've been stuck here for 15 months. My husband has 9 months

left on his contract and then we are out of here! I told him the next move we make has to be to a sane state.

16. You sure you

don't live in NC, the home of STUPID. But hey the Supremes just told our state to stop Gerrymandering....small wonders!!!!

They are not destroying any monuments, they are moving them.

5. Uh Karl? The Nazis loved Nathan Bedford Forrest, founder of the Ku Klux Klan.

6. He needs to be careful what he (openly) wishes for. Might find himself criminally liable.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. Rep Karl Oliver (write it for search engines) Karl Oliver wants to Make America Great Again (TM) .nt

8. And pundits say WE are the ones living in a bubble.

9. The Citizens of Dumbfuckistan,,,,,,

must never allow the memories of the times they stood up and fought for the right to enslave other human beings........

10. Racism in the South

The history of the South is one of out and out racism. It's despicable. Confederates weren't heroes, nor Americans, they were Traitors who should have been executed by firing squad or hung after the end of the Civil War. This would be a much better country today if they had been treated the same way as they treated their runaway slaves. Pull down their monuments, refute their lies, and destroy their legacies. It's the only way this nation will Ever become what the Declaration of Independence was meant to be, a nation without racism, slavery or repression.

11. Once again, Mississippi proves to be the inflamed appendix of America's body politic.

14. "Lynched" - That does not sound like 'rule of law'... More like KKK

"Lynched" - That does not sound like 'rule of law'.

More like KKK

15. We kicked your asses back in 1865, and we'll do it again if we have to.

[Judi Lynn]

17. Rep. Karl Oliver'd better git out there and find a good tree for his murders.

I hope they will be ground down to a fine powder and dropped into the world's deepest holes.

When the world is clean again not one of those statues honoring the scum of the earth will be left standing.

Karl Oliver, outstanding in a field of hate-filled bigots.

18. Lynching

is a traditional Republican value they're always trying to sell as American, kind of the same way they see slavery.
The Russians have the good sense to disavow all connections to Lenin and Stalin, and the Germans made any Nazi symbols illegal. But our Slave States cling to their immoral past. Fuck them. Fuck them with a barbed wire dildo.
