Louie Gohmert (R-NSFW) takes issue against hate-crimes legislation because “sexual orientation” is too vague:
If you’re oriented toward animals, bestiality, then, you know, that’s not something that can be used, held against you or any bias be held against you for that. Which means you’d have to strike any laws against bestiality, if you’re oriented toward corpses, toward children, you know, there are all kinds of perversions.
Whew. Is it hot in here? We may have to revive Stinque After Dark just to run excerpts from the Congressional Record.
Rep. Louie Gohmert: Hate crimes bill will lead to Nazism, legalization of necrophilia, pedophilia, and bestiality [Think Progress]
Based on the GOPer track record, it looks like Louie Louie has a thing for Nazis, corpses, kids and dogs.
“I hope this doesn’t offend….”
A forlorn hope, at best.
I love the logic on this, which is:
1. Homosexuals are pedophiles, necrophiliacs, and practice bestiality.
2. I am not wrong to say this because I once voted for Alan Keyes.
3. Protecting said Homosexual pedophiles, necrophilliacs, and dog-fuckers is merely a way of exchanging liberty for security.
4. Which is what the Nazis did. BOOGA-BOOGA!
Nazis had hate crime laws?
who knew.
but seriously. Louie Gomer (R) texas
what else do you need to know?
@Capt Howdy: Let’s be more specific. He represents Tyler and Longview. ’nuff said.
If only I could watch the video on this job … his performances come close to peak wingnut.
@Capt Howdy: Yes, the Nazis did have hate crime laws: it was the law to hate you and you and you.
Bur srsly. I have an orientation towards Republicans. I don’t want to offend but my orientation makes me want to rip off their cheap knock-offs of Brooks Bros suits and piss on them.
I want to know how this guy ultimately voted on the defense appropriation, but I’m too lazy to google it properly.
I have mixed feelings about hate crimes bills, but if there’s gonna be one I wanna be included innit, dammit.
Also, Benedick, I need you to forward me the Agenda, stat. Be sure to send it via our secret secure channel to my island stronghold, you know, the one from which I plot to RULE THE WORLD, nyah ha ha!
