“State Shouldn’t Push Certain Views on Marriage”

“Unless it says the fags can’t get married. Then it’s A-OK.”

What would this asshole know about being intellectually consistent?

He has no intellect to speak of—even using the most generous definition of the term.

He’s just a bigot and his monumental derpitude is the only impressive thing about him.

fargo116 · May 7, 2015, 2:40pm

How can you tell he’s a bigot?

Just take the word ‘marriage’ and substitute the word ‘ni(CLANG!)’

You can imagine some cracker saying this during Reconstruction, can’t you?

The guy looks like he would be on the other side of the argument.

Really??? IMO, it is very “intellectually consistent” that LGBT people should have the exact same rights that you enjoy, Rep. Johnson.

Kindly go fuck yourself.

Where’s Lorena Bobbitt when you really need her?

“Can you imagine a hefty fine being levied against a lesbian reception hall owner for refusing to host a traditional marriage rally at her venue?”

What is a “lesbian reception hall”? Can someone make a living renting a reception hall only to lesbians?

unfortunately there’s alot of this shit going on in my state to see who can out bigot each other…its religious freedom as long as it’s THEIR religious freedom others need not apply

Wonder what he’s hiding in his closet?

artemisia · May 7, 2015, 3:40pm

Nope, and it would still be illegal.

Once more, insignificant pissant political figure from right wing Southern state reaches an audience with help from TPM

littlegirlblue · May 7, 2015, 3:59pm

I’ve always thought her name was as appropriate as, for instance, Dr. Katz, the veterinarian who also spays and neuters…

littlegirlblue · May 7, 2015, 4:00pm

Would I be wrong to suggest the Senator from South Carolina?

“Can you imagine a hefty fine being levied against a lesbian reception hall owner for refusing to host a traditional marriage rally at her venue?” Johnson said in the video. “Of course not.”

There you have it ladies and gentlemen. The workings of the Republican “mind”. He can’t even imagine a fine levied at a gay person when it would be levied at a Christian straight person and then because he “can’t imagine” it, he acts as if his scenario is a truth. Instant bullshit.

I’ve got it all figured out … Piyush had this guy put forth this bill and say the absolutely idiotic things he is saying to make it appear that Piyush is intelligent. Not working.

a lesbian reception hall owner for refusing to host a traditional marriage rally

The Muff Rack does have the best oyster bar in town…

“Can you imagine a hefty fine being levied against a lesbian reception hall owner for refusing to host a traditional marriage rally at her venue?”

Yes. In fact, I would demand it and call her an asshole.

sniffit · May 7, 2015, 4:36pm

I’m doing everything I can to control my urge to make a vagina-hallway-metaphor joke…why oh why did you have to ask that?

And BTW, leaving off the word “owner” sort of deliberately changes the meaning of what he said.

califdemdreamer · May 7, 2015, 4:38pm

What is intellectually inconsistent is the thought of lesbians in the party planning business.
