One of the Republican's favorite web sites (Townhall.com) calls for mass-murder of gays

[Bjorn Against]

Can we call these people Nazis yet?

How to bomb a gay bath house
By Mike S. Adams

Enough about what Ann ought not to do. Here’s what she should do immediately:

1. Start a website called “Global War on Fags” today.

2. Begin writing essays calling for the cleansing and purification of society via the mass murder of homosexuals.

3. Distribute videos on the website showing the actual murders of homosexuals.

4. Circulate instructions on how to bomb gay bath houses in San Francisco.

5. Circulate a “battle dispatch” to give people specific information on America’s most notorious bath houses.

Let us be clear, Townhall is one of the most popular Republican websites. I want every single Republican to denounce Townhall for publishing this NOW. The editors at Townhall chose to put this on their site, that means they can not just get by with denouncing the author they must denounce the entire site and everyone who agrees with them. If they do not do this I will consider them to be supporters of the same type of mass-murder that Hitler committed.

[Richard Steele]

1. Rec this up for some visibility! K&R

[muntrv]

2. So Adams, what realm of the ku klux klan are you from?

[MnFats]

3. gotta read that piece by adams on that site. that guy's nuts

not to mention woefully misinformed.
he bases his opinions on his sole encounter with a gay guy who's drunk. way to go asshole.

[HockeyMom]

4. Parents, Family, and Friends of Gays

They will have to get through US first.

[Faux pas]

5. I wonder how they would react to a call for mass murders of

republicans? Where do all this psycho holes come from? Sheesh.

[Vadem]

6. Time to call the FBI! This is a terrorist threat against US citizens!n/t

[Maven]

7. My god, reading some of the comments on that site is like a psychic assault.

And I started the day out feeling so good.

[Bjorn Against]

13. I hadn't even noticed there was comments at first...

But after you pointed it out I read some of them, and they certainly show the GOP mindset very well. They think that people who don't laugh at mass-murder don't have a sense of humor, while they go about repeating homophobic slurs over and over again.

Yes, these people are Nazis there is no doubt about it.

[bryant69]

8. Yeah that was a bizarre article

I think it's meant to be satirical, but it's pretty confused.

Check it out --> http://politicalcomment.blogspot.com

[Bjorn Against]

12. Sure they will try to dismiss it as satire...

But what I read was clearly NOT funny, and it was VERY homophobic. If this is the kind of things Republicans find humorous they have a lot of explaining to do.

[Hepburn]

22. Yeah, right, humor....

...this "humor" ranks right up there, IMO, with jokes about pedophiles molesting children. One is as sick as the other.

What a disgusting ..... man, I cannot even think of words strong enough to describe this filth.

[NuttyFluffers]

34. if that's their excuse, this reminds me of that "Rape is History and Fun!" school paper op.ed.

except it's crossed a line (as if there were any more to cross) into outright appeal to others to commit terrorist acts. that "rape is fun!" school op.ed. (sorry, can't really remember the details -- or want to) didn't outright advocate raping others, if i remember correctly. but then i blotted quite a bit of that obscenity from memory, so i might've forgot something.

RW reactionaries have no conception of humor. by now it's been proven time and again it's essentially a law.

[raccoon]

37. If you ever wondered what it was like to live in Nazi Germany,

you don't have to wonder any more.

Is there no level to which these assholes won't descend?

[NuttyFluffers]

77. i know they won't ascend to the level of common decency, but that's a given.

looking into their souls would be like gazing into the yawning abyss. so that's what the pit of selfishness on the level of demons looks like...

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

40. It's a reference to Prof. Julio Pino at Kent State.

IIRC some insane militant Islamist site posted one of his essays at one point or another. I don't even recall the content of it, and the right-wing blogosphere decided that Pino ran the Islamist site (which was pretty foul and corresponds to the suggestions made in the OP about the site Coulter should set up.)

So basically, they're saying "If it's OK for a liberal college professor to put up a website calling for the destruction of America, it's OK for Coulter to put up a site calling for the destruction of gays."

Which is quite dumb, seeing as part A of the argument never existed in the first place.

[bryant69]

47. His article today is on Pino

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/column.aspx?UrlTitle=klansman_teaching_history_at_kent_state&ns=MikeSAdams&dt=03/16/2007&page=full&comments=true

He claims he's an ex-clansman who ran a site called Kill the Negroes.

Bryant

[kestrel91316]

9. I think it's time to COULTERIZE them. As in, contact their

advertisers and let them know what a fascist site it is that they are running their ads on, and get them yamked.

I can't pull up the page, for some reason, so I'm not sure they even have ads............

[maveric]

10. Hey Agent Mike...

Isnt this a terrorist threat?

[MLFerrell]

11. I'll bet they'd just LOVE it if we...

Were to pen hate-filled screeds calling for a similar course of actions starring Republics.

O'Liely would have a field day, no?

[AlCzervik]

14. is this some extreme satire that i just don't get?

[Bjorn Against]

16. They may try to dismiss it as satire...

But if you read the piece the guy is truly homophobic, he is not making fun of homophobes he is supporting them. Anyone who would find this humorous is a sick and dangerous person.

[AlCzervik]

19. i did, i read the whole thing including him having dinner at a gay persons house.

this guy is nuts.

[Orangepeel]

27. maybe it's based on what they think "islamofacists" do?

I'm not going to click on the link so I haven't read it in context.

I'm guessing it is some sort of satire that has something to do with the idea that liberals are thought to support both terrorists and gays. I'm just guessing that from the video thing, though.

(on edit: of course, it's sick regardless)

[Canuckistanian]

33. They don't do satire; they don't understand it

Poo-poo jokes, slapstick and death jokes are about as sophisticated as they get.

These are the same people who quote Colbert, thinking they've just pulled off a zinger.

[IronLionZion]

55. Because terrorism is funny

but don't forget to be afraid. :sarcasm: I hate Republicans. :grr:

[The Doctor.]

15. Holy Shit this guy is an idiot...

He thinks he's clever too!

I know already that his defense will be 'this was parody... satire! The critics just don't get it!'.

Yeah... right.

Whatanasshole.

[Bjorn Against]

17. Well I do not accept that defense...

I want him to explain to me why the mass-extermination of a minority group is humorous to him. Does he also find the Holocaust to be humorous?

[The Doctor.]

23. What defense?

He's a fucking idiot for thinking, feeling, and ultimately speaking the way he does.

How am I wrong?

[Bjorn Against]

24. I was not saying you were wrong, in fact I was agreeing with you

They will try to claim this is satire, but in order for a person to find this humorous they would have to have an extremely twisted mind. Obviously you get that, but I can guarantee you the Republicans will try to claim we don't have a sense of humor when we confront them on this. That is when we ask them to explain to us why mass-murder of a minority group is humorous.

[The Doctor.]

31. Precisement. n/t

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

18. Switch the "f" word and "homosexuals"

with the word "Jews" and you'd have the perfect Nazi document.

[Evoman]

29. No need to switch it..the Nazis killed homosexuals too

It already is the perfect Nazi document. God this shit makes my blood boil.

[bonito]

20. Thats sick as hell

satire for morons just shows what the the republican base is composed of.

[Hepburn]

21. This is BEYONG disgusting.

There is NO place for complete filth and garbage like this. Anyone who would publish this kind of absolute drek? I cannot even begin to think of descriptive words bad enough for their conduct. There simply is NO place for things like this.

:mad:

[argyl]

25. And this guy's a professor of criminology at the University of North Carolina at

Wilmington.My jaw just about hit the floor when I read that.Really disgusting.I read it and thought it was some loon just throwing in his two cent's worth in a post reply.

[Initech]

26. I seriously hope they're kidding. That is really fucked up.

:wow:

[mnhtnbb]

28. I just wrote to the Chancellor of UNC-Wilmington and told her

what a disgrace this guy is. The UNC-Wilmington campus has had
problems with violence against students (several murders) in the last couple of years. You'd think the faculty would know better.

The Chancellor is Dr. Rosemary DePaolo [e-mail]

[mnhtnbb]

36. This is the canned response from the Chancellor's office

In response to you recent email:

The statements made by Dr. Adams in the Townhall column, wehther or not
they are satire as he often claims, are deplorable. His statements are
definitely not those of the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
The first amendment protects not only Dr. Adams' right to free
expression, but it protects yours as well. Therefore, you are
encouraged to express your opinion by directly contacting Townhall.com,
[e-mail] or www.DrAdams.org

[e-mail]

[mnhtnbb]

41. And here's the e-mail I sent to Mike Adams

I sent this e-mail to Dr. DePaolo, Chancellor of UNC-Wilmington.

Dr. DePaolo:

I am writing to bring to your attention a posting by a member of UNC Wilmington's faculty, Mike S. Adams, Professor of Criminology, in which he is advocating violence against gays. Perhaps he intended this piece to be satirical. I find
it in extremely poor taste and hope that you will convey that message to him.

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/column.aspx?UrlTitle=how_to_bomb_a_gay_bath_house&ns=MikeSAdams&dt=03/14/2007&page=full&comments=true

Given the experience of violence against students in the last few years on the Wilmington campus, I should
think your faculty and staff would be more sensitive to these issues. This man is not contributing to the image of the Wilmington
campus as a place of respect for diversity. While he is entitled to express his opinion of hatred and violence toward
gays, he surely should not be advertising his association with the University. He's a disgrace to the concept of education.

The response from the Chancellor's office suggested that I write you myself.
Here's my advice, Mike. Take the high road. Have the integrity to offer arguments in defense of your position--as reprehensible as it may be--that aren't embarrassing to your colleagues, your employer, or the citizens of North Carolina who pay your salary. If your intention was satirical, I suggest you drop in on a few English classes on campus and brush up on the use of satire as a literary device, because the Town Hall column didn't really make the grade. There is nothing funny about advocating the mass murder of any group of people--particularly a group whose individual members have been the target of hate crimes, no thanks to the musings of people like yourself.
Why don't you get yourself some therapy and find out why you hate gays so much? Find out why you feel the need to write such trash? Could it be you're compensating for self-loathing? Maybe you just have a dick the size of a peanut and you're afraid nobody will love you, gay or straight? Ha Ha. That last sentence was satirical.

PS. I have a gay son who almost made the mistake of going to school at UNC-Wilmington. I'm glad now that he wasn't subjected to an environment that supports people like you who pass themselves off as educators.

[Vektor]

52. Someone should remind the Chancellor...

That terrorist threats do not exactly count as free speech.

[TwilightGardener]

30. Didn't ABC News just recently provide a link to a Townhall.com

article that was very critical about John Edwards? Shouldn't ABC news maybe stop linking to their site in the future?

[NMMNG]

32. "Cleansing and purification of society via the mass murder of homosexuals"?

Strange how purification of society is achieved through MASS MURDER. These people have no idea what morality is.

[bananarepublican]

35. Could that potentially include Mehlman, Foley, Haggert, Ms Cheney, J. Edgar Hoover's spirit etc? n/t

[gollygee]

38. Is that supposed to be funny?

If so, do they think it would be funny if it were about any other group that is often discriminated against?

Not funny at all.

[Toucano]

39. Sounds like someone's got an obsession with BATHHOUSES.

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

[TankLV]

59. How many persons even KNOW about bath houses, gay or not?!

I didnt' think there were any left, and I'M gay!

[tbyg52]

42. Morning kick

What a disgusting article. Hard to believe even R's are that stupid and SCARED. (This is a classic example of the relation of fear and hate, IMHO.)

[ironflange]

43. Looks like a satire to me

A very crude, heavy-handed attempt at satire, to be more precise. Here's the problem: put something like this on townhall, whether it's meant satirically or not, and out come the moonbats with guns a-blazing. Perhaps literally.

[gollygee]

45. How is it supposed to be funny, though?

I mean, it would seem more like satire if a gay rights group put it. Or the Onion or something. Like, if a progressive group put it up to mock people opposed to gay rights. But how is it supposed to be funny when it's put up by a group that is actually opposed to gay rights? I just don't even get where there is supposed to be humor. Whom are they mocking? Themselves? If they're mocking gay people by joking about killing them, that's pretty scary.

[LSK]

44. what the hell is a "gay bath house"?

Not only do they have to threaten gays, they continue to make up fiction about them.

[Bluedogvoter]

46. PLEASE!! Put up a warning. I almost vomited.

Please let people know that you will see a disgusting picture when you click that link.

[keepCAblue]

48. Notified GLAAD and Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Report

I would encourage everyone here to do the same. The links are:

GLAAD (report an incident):

http://www.glaad.org/action/report.php (make sure to include a link to the town.com article in your message)

Southern Poverty Law Center, Intelligence Report (tracks hate groups in the U.S.):

http://www.splcenter.org/intel/contact.jsp (be sure to select "Report hate activity in your community" from the pull-down menu and include a link to the townhall.com article: http://www.townhall.com/columnists/column.aspx?UrlTitle=how_to_bomb_a_gay_bath_house&ns=MikeSAdams&dt=03/14/2007&page=full&comments=true )


Also, at the end of this article, you can vote on it. It's currently getting a "4" out of "5" rating. I think we here should DU this vote (give it a "1" rating) and make sure the website's managers see how little this article, and the hate language it spews, is appreciated by decent citizens.

[slj0101]

49. Worst case of satire I have ever seen.

It's not even subtle or clever. And shit yeah, it's offensive.

[IWantAChange]

50. Adam's picture makes me think he suffered many a wedgie going through school -

very typical freeper 'self' issues going on here methinks.

[Anywho6]

51. Just pitiful n/t

[IronLionZion]

53. What the hell is a gay bath house?

:shrug: Is that a front for prostitution or something?

[rockymountaindem]

54. Sounds like a figment of the RW's imagination

You know, because whatever gay people do in their daily lives is tied directly to their insatiable gay sexual desires :sarcasm:

[IronLionZion]

56. wingnuts do have an unhealthy obsession with that stuff

they spend way too much time thinking about it.

[rockymountaindem]

58. They spend more time thinking about "perversion"

than the actual "perverts". Imagine how much better off we'd all be if they would devote their apparently massive energies to something useful, like science or something...

[donco6]

63. It's a private club for gay men.

And yes, they engage in anonymous sex there. What can I say? Men are pigs . . .

On edit, it's sorta like a singles bar, without the beer, and with beds and clean sheets.

[Vektor]

66. I thought it was like a "spa"

with saunas and hot tubs, and spa services like massages and skincare.

Shows how much I know... :shrug:

[donco6]

67. Not that *I'VE* ever been to one . . .

But no, I've never seen . . . er, heard about . . . too many manicures going on there.

[Vektor]

79. Tee-hee...

Ok, then! :-)

You learn something new every day!

[ronnykmarshall]

57. E-mail the pig.

[gaspee]

60. Whenever I start gettting a little optimistic

About the future of our country, all I have to do is read the comments on any thread at freeperville or townhall or any other site where the perpetually nasty, selfish, xenophobic, racist, misogynistic members of the right tend to post. As soon as I'm reminded of just who *exactly* we share our country with, all of my optimism is gone. Why do I do it? Because if I didn't get a reminder that this is what America is really like (or at least a significant portion of it) I would not remain vigilant. Since I do not know anyone remotely like these people, I tend to forget just how bad it really is out there in America these days.

[PurpleChez]

61. yep...they're Nazis

if it talks like a nazi and hates like a nazi....

[vankuria]

62. Wonder what the Dept. of Homeland Security would think?

This guy Adams will probably say this is satire, but the folks that regularly read townhall.com aren't wrapped too tight. They could easily be influenced to carry out this nutso's recommendations. I wrote to the school he teaches at and filed a complaint with GLADD.

[BuyingThyme]

64. Exactly. Why should this punk ever be allowed to board a plane?

[JackRiddler]

65. .

.

[NMMNG]

74. ???

:shrug:

[Jamastiene]

83. What?

???

[JackRiddler]

85. mistaken post, is all. n/t

[Faygo Kid]

68. This guy is another Fred Phelps

His readers think this is funny? This guy has real problems, and is probably dangerous to himself and others. That much hate is tough to contain.

[Marr]

69. I'd bet you cash money the person who wrote that has

homosexual urges and simply cannot accept it. So he puts it outside himself and hates other people instead. I think right-wing movements are full of these sorts of people. That's why they're so full of hypocrisy.

[Maven]

73. self-delete

[jberryhill]

70. You left out "Point 6" of his battle plan....

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/column.aspx?UrlTitle=how_to_bomb_a_gay_bath_house&ns=MikeSAdams&dt=03/14/2007&page=full&comments=true

"6. Apply for a job at Kent State University."

What's up with that?

[Bjorn Against]

72. I left it out because I thought it was irrelevent...

I think there is some professor at Kent State that he doesn't like so he was trying to get a jab in, but he did not explain himself very well at all. This post has nothing to do with Kent State, it has to do with homophobia that is so extreme that the word homophobia seems way too mild to describe it. I don't know anything about the professor he was referring to but I don't need to know about him, because no matter what that professor has said it does not justify this guy encouraging the mass-murder of gays.

On edit: Apparently this is who he was referring to http://www.townhall.com/columnists/MikeSAdams/2007/03/16/klansman_teaching_history_at_kent_state
The quotes are vile to be certain, but they certainly do not justify Adams putting out a column that is even more vile yet.

[jberryhill]

82. Then I'm Confused

At the link you posted, Adams is going off about a Kent State professor....

Of course, many disagree with Kent State’s defense of Piner. Some of the most compelling reasons follow:

1. The “Kill the Negroes” site contained essays calling for the cleansing and purification of society via the mass murder of blacks.

2. Piner distributed videos on the website showing the actual lynching of blacks.

3. Piner circulated instructions on how to bomb black churches in the South.

4. Piner circulated a “battle dispatch” to give people specific information on America’s most “notorious” black churches.

If you are as disgusted as I am, I know you will take the time to contact Ron Kirksey. Ron is the University Spokesman for Kent State. He can be reached via phone at 330-672-8535 or via e-mail [e-mail].

Seems bizarre that Adams is upset about that, and then goes and does the same thing.

[libnnc]

71. And this is the asshole...

the UNC-Greensboro College Republicans got to be their guest speaker a couple of years ago. I remember seeing the flyers around on campus.

Fucker.

[Madspirit]

75. Why WHY WHY!!

I haven't read all the comments so one of you probably already pointed this out but isn't it illegal to call for bombings and murders? Doesn't Homeland Security or the CIA or the FBI...someone...care that these people are outright calling for the murder of American citizens...or anyone?
Lee

[Jamastiene]

87. I believe it is illegal to call for bombings and murders.

If I am not mistaken, that goes against the law for sure.

[HRC_in_08]

76. this is a reference to a professor at Kent State that called for the killing of gays...

I believe he was a Muslim.

[Moloch]

78. Dumbfuck...

There aren't any bathhouses in San Francisco. They were all closed in the 80s because of AIDS.

[MnFats]

81. exactly . this guy is living in a fantasy world...and you can guess..

...what his fantasies involve....the ones who yell the loudest are the ones most firmly in the closet

[Swamp Rat]

80. This is not satire... this "professor" needs to be FIRED from his job.

He is trying to incite violence against a group of people.

edit: Just as they did to Ward Churchill, he should be invesitgated with the same zeal for ANY mistake he ever committed during his entire academic career.

[Jamastiene]

84. Yep, that's pretty much how they think.

Knuckle-walkers that they are.

[misternormal]

86. The author is obviously a neocon idiot.... n/t

[Heywood J]

88. Oh, Christ.

No living being has the imagination to approach the ecstasy Ann and I experienced on a lay-over in Tulsa while the thunderstorms raged and we writhed beneath the sheets. Her supple tummy was like a hair trigger to my ministrations. Her inner thighs quivered with the slightest touch of my breath. When she gave herself to me at last, there was no questioning her commitment to our mutual enterprise.

Hey Mike. I enjoy your articles, so I thought I'd give something back.

You mean you thought you'd post your masturbatory fantasies about Ann Coulter on a website so others could secretly jack off to her? I'd hardly call that "giving back"...

Especially when THIS is the picture of her they put up: http://media.townhall.com/Townhall/Reu/b/2007/71/[e-mail]
