This guy is such a fag. It would be tragic if it weren't so funny. :p

No point being stupid unless you show it.

A Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Ohio wants to make homosexual behavior a capital crime punishable by the death penalty


Is he insane?:eek:

Is he insane?:eek:
Why? You have a problem with God fearing, Christian Americans! :mad:

People like that make people like me want to kill.

This guy is such a fag. It would be tragic if it weren't so funny. :p

I resent your use of that word.

Hey I think I met that guy online... There can't be more then one!

Why? You have a problem with God fearing, Christian Americans! :mad:


I have a problem with self righteous asswipes. Death penalty.....I cant believe this guy is for real.

Whoa... He is completely and totally insane... For one, it's not even BIBLICAL to do that, lol. Gotta love it. Wonder how many votes he'll get.

Gotta love the backwards Americans.

Keiser told the Register the United States should make conversion to Christianity part of the war on terror to teach Muslims the error of their choice in religion.


"The teaching of evolution works against the liberties we have in the United States," he told the paper. If a person believe in evolution, he or she "has no rights," he's quoted saying.

Those are two of my favorites! :p

Gotta love the backwards Americans.


Ugh...please dont lump us all into the same group with this......thing.

Wait, worldnetdaily I'm pretty sure there was some other artical that led me to believe they where full o' shit before. :confused:

Next we came make heterosexuality a punishable offense also.

Yay for asexuals !!!!!

Ugh...please dont lump us all into the same group with this......thing.

Quoted.

I haven't read it all just scanned.

The depth of WND's journalistic malpractice is nicely encapsulated in how willing it is to unquestioningly pass along any claim made by a conservative group, no matter how false. Not giving the person or organization the conservative group is targeting a chance to respond is part of the deal.

So this is probably just bullshit to make the democrats look bad. Just goes to show you have to check who's telling you what on the internet.

Well, I can't seem to find anything about him apart from blog entries that are very similar in their writing, as if they used the same source.

Well, Google (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Merrill+Keiser%22) shows a bunch of coverage. The guy's for real, I mean he'll never win or anything, but he wants to. He actually probably think God will make him win.

Here's a local paper's (http://www.centralohio.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/BB/20060302/NEWS01/603020306/1002&template=BB) coverage of him.

I'm searching for more reliable sites. there's a wiki on it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WorldNetDaily) which still isn't any more reliable then blogs

That says nothing of him wanting the death penalty for gays.

In google I just see a repeat of the same story in blogs.

Although I am against gay marriage and believe the country needs a spirtual revival, this man is ridiculous, if not insane. Part of me thinks he's saying it to get attention, part of me thinks he's nuts.

The story in the local paper does. WND sexed it up, though. The real story is that someone asked him if he would support legislation imposing teh death penalty on gay people and he said that while he would not author such legislation, he would support it.

I still think he's gay as a morning stroll threw a dew filled meadow in spring when the flowers are blooming. :) I bet he wears furry little mittons, too.

Sooo, sorta like the NYT then, except for the right.

More like moveon.org for the right. NYT is like Fox News for the left.

I resent your attempt to use homosexuality, and stupid stereotypes thereof, as an insult.

I'm sorry you resent it. Maybe you need to put down the cross. The very obvious reason I am calling him a homosexual is not because I think its insulting, but because he obviously does.

How about this non-conservative source?

It makes you no better than him, because you're using the same sort of malice as he does, apparent in you calling him "fag." Please stop. It is insulting, and not of him.

This guy is such a fag. It would be tragic if it weren't so funny. :p
I believe the bottom of the story is closer to the truth?

Liberal blogger Deborah White was less than thrilled with Keiser's candidacy and the media's response to it.

"What if this hate-filled moron called for the execution of all blacks or all Jews?" she asked. "Would the public outcry be similarly subdued? Would the press still report it as a cute curiosity or merely an alternative viewpoint? Where is moral outrage in 2006?"

White speculated Keiser was planted by the GOP.

"He must be a Republican plant," she wrote. "Please ... someone tell me I'm correct."

It makes you no better than him, because you're using the same sort of malice as he does, apparent in you calling him "fag." Please stop. It is insulting, and not of him.
Oh, man. I'm so sick of this moral equivalence that gets bandied about. The fact that I know there would be nothing more insulting to this guy than being called gay and that I like insulting him does not make me "no better than him." I not only do not want the death penalty for consentual sexual behavior, but I in fact couldn't care less about other people's consentual sexual behavior. Personally, I think I would find it highly enjoyable to see this guy publically accused of being a closeted homosexual. The resulting veins popping out of his forhead and neck as he furiously tried to disprove the charge would be really funny. I don't see being gay as an insult, but I can't imagine a more effective insult for this guy.

Plus, it might be true. :p

I get the joke:D !!!

But seriously though, deathpenatly for gay? who even thinks that up?

And of course, there is always the non-partisan Free Republic (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1591030/posts). Lots of Republican trash talk there. :(

Seems people missed this in my previous post.

You think America needs a spirtual revival? We are one of the most religious countries in the world. Why don't we just outlaw non-Christians from entering Washington and institute prayer in school? That is pretty much the next step. What have you been smoking?

He believes Homosexuality is a crime worthy of capital punishment and thinks the war on terror should involve converting muslims to christianity?:eek: :eek:

So you would expect someone not to be offended if you went around calling racists niggers? Who do you think you are kidding, here? You're using homosexuality as an insult and you know it. You're trying half-assedly to excuse it with him thinking it is, but that does not change the fact that you are using it as an insult. I have asked you to stop, because it is offensive.

Why? You have a problem with God fearing, Christian Americans! :mad:


No, I just want them extinct.

I'm gonna interject into this. I think people will always be offended. I understand your offense but I understand his point as well. Making everything PC doesn't help anything.

Of course I'm using as an insult. That's exactly what I said I was doing. Not because I think there is anything worng with being gay, but because HE does.

"Oh, I'm not homophobic, but I'll use homophobic putdowns and expect everyone to believe me." Who do you think you are kidding? If you truly wish to come across as not agreeing with him, acting like him is not exactly the best way to do it. And again I repeat: Your behaviour is offensive. I, as a gay man, find it offensive that you would use my sexual identity as an insult. Please stop.

stupid idiots!

Fortunately, I'm not required to obtain your approval for my behavior. I have a forum full of gay people that I run and none of them have a problem with me. ;)

Well, I do. If you aren't going to be courteous enough to stop acting in an offensive manner when someone asks you to stop using being gay as an insult, then there really is nothing to discuss here. I have made my view clear, and if you will not respect me enough to lay off with the homophobic rhetoric, I see no reason to engage you in any sort of discourse.

It would seem to me that "fag" was used as an insult, and whether or not you were using that term because this politician would think it was insulting is irrelevant.

Calling somebody a fag, with the intent to insult, is no different then calling somebody a ******, beaner, or felcher with the intent to insult and your forum full of gay friends doesn't make it any less insulting. Go into a primarily black forum, and post a thread in which you call a KKK member a ******, and I expect that the response would be less than welcoming. And fag is an insulting word to begin with, don't be politically correct (God knows I'm not) and say gay, it's a lot easier.

All argument aside, I think he is absoutely crazy. In the beginning, those who deviated from "normal" (what a relative term) behavior were stoned as "witches" or "bad omens". His attempt to kill gay people for their sexual preference is another attempt to bring us back to the days of savages. Next we will be stoning thiefs, and slashing the throats of those who commit adultery.
