Marsha Blackburn the racist bigot of Tennessee

Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) on Monday openly admitted that she opposed the latest reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) because it included protections for LGBT, Native American, and undocumented victims of domestic violence.

Yes she think the VAWA is only for Straight white women only. She doesn’t care if Black, Latino or native American women are abuses, and if they are lesbians then they get what they deserve.

On MSNBC, Blackburn pointed out that the latest iteration of the law protects “different groups” and thus dilutes funding for straight, non-Native American women with the proper documentation:

When you start to make this about other things it becomes an “against violence act” and not a targeted focus act… I didn’t like the way it was expanded to include other different groups. What you need is something that is focused specifically to help the shelters and to help out law enforcement, who is trying to work with the crimes that have been committed against women and helping them to stand up.

This is a racist that would make the KKK or Nazi’s happy to have on their side.

Who knows maybe one day Charles Blackburn will beat the hell out of her in front of her daughter Mary, while telling their son Chad that women are nothing at all, that they don’t deserve protection under the law, that they are trash.. After all they live Tennessee, and she is from Mississippi.

Tenn: Stacey Campfield on HIV

Most people realize that AIDS came from the homosexual community — it was one guy screwing a monkey, if I recall correctly, and then having sex with men. It was an airline pilot, if I recall. My understanding is that it is virtually — not completely, but virtually — impossible to contract AIDS through heterosexual sex...very rarely [transmitted]. What's the average lifespan of a homosexual? it's very short. Google it yourself."

One has to wonder what the effing is in the water in Tennessee. If it not the water then, this douchebag is free basing something..

Jonathan had this to say, 

If your brain is reeling from that statement, that's because Campfield's words are such pure-grade bullshit that their gravity becomes infinitely dense, warping space-time to plunge readers 30 years into the past to an era where the lack of information on AIDS fueled a panic that is, unfortunately, alive and well in the state's 7th District Senate office.

if you think that is bad, how about the stuff in the picture below,

Because being just homophobe  isn’t enough, it appears that he a slumlord, so he will take your money and let you live in filth and squalor..  and He thinks men shouldn’t have to support their kids..

Yet somehow this douche got into public office. Question where were all the women groups??

Tenn: Tea Party wants to removed all traces of Slavery from School Books.

Tenn. Tea Party is demanding that references to slavery be removed from history books.

The material calls for lawmakers to amend state laws governing school curriculums, and for textbook selection criteria to say that “No portrayal of minority experience in the history which actually occurred shall obscure the experience or contributions of the Founding Fathers, or the majority of citizens, including those who reached positions of leadership.” Fayette County attorney Hal Rounds, the group’s lead spokesman during the news conference, said the group wants to address “an awful lot of made-up criticism about, for instance, the founders intruding on the Indians or having slaves or being hypocrites in one way or another."

More like- move on, move on nothing to see here.. is more like.

I guess they don’t want it to be know that two presidents brought their slaves to the White House back in the day. That George W. and Benjamin F. owned slaves and that Thomas J. fathered children with one of his Slaves.

No matter what these crazy Tea Baggers do, you can not erase Slavery from our history..

Senator Beau McCory want to Ban All Cities LGBT Protection

MCCOY: It just merely says that if we’re going to change the protected classes … we need to come to the Capitol to do it so that it’s consistent across the state.

So he has introduced to a bill (lb 912) to ban and prevent municipalities  across the state from creating any nondiscrimination protections, while failing to introduced a statewide bill that would add those items to the state nondiscrimination protections.

So in other words He doesn’t want the cities to out do his sorry ass.

He doesn’t what to protect those who need these protections. He is basically doing what Tennessee did where they invalidated LGBT protections that were passed in Nashville.

Beau McCoy, author of law to revoke and
ban local gay rights ordinances throughout
Nebraska. McCoy (bmccoy@leg.ne.gov)
represents Dist. 39, including parts of Omaha.

Just in case you would like to send a email expressing your concern or outrage.

 

Here is what's in the bill,

LB912 includes the following language:

Sec. 3. (1) It is the purpose of this section to improve
intrastate commerce by ensuring that no county, municipality, or
other political subdivision will subject businesses, organizations,
or employers operating in Nebraska to varied and nonuniform protected
classifications in nondiscrimination laws, ordinances, resolutions,
rules, or policies. Further, it is the purpose of this section to
focus and thereby improve the effectiveness of the efforts of
counties, municipalities, or other political subdivisions to punish
and eliminate discrimination based on the protected classifications
identified in laws enacted by the Legislature.
(2) A county, municipality, or other political
subdivision shall not adopt or enforce a local law, ordinance,
resolution, rule, or policy that creates a protected classification
unless such classification is contained in the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act, the Nebraska Fair Employment Practice Act, the
Nebraska Fair Housing Act, or sections 20-126 to 20-143 or 48-1219 to
48-1227. This subsection does not apply to a law, ordinance,
resolution, rule, or policy that applies only to the employees of the
county, municipality, or other political subdivision.
(3) Any local law, ordinance, resolution, rule, or policy
adopted before the effective date of this act that violates
subsection (2) of this section is null and void.

But you know there is always one bigot involved in these bills. It funny how these GOP’s bigots can always find a Baptist church to back them up.

HRC need an enema

I got another one of those “BIG THINGS are HAPPEN” so we need money email for HRC(The human Rights Campaign).

Every time I get one of these action email, there very little info and always a request for more money. I think its high time that Joe and the rest of the over paid desk plants to take a pay cut. Joe need to start flying coach and rent reasonable auto’s instead of taking Limo’s and First Class air fairs..

From Joe,

I just got off the phone with HRC Board Member Bruce Bastian. He's challenged HRC supporters to raise $100,000 – and he'll match every dollar with one of his own.

He's doing it because big things are happening here at HRC and all across the country – thanks to you. You've helped run ads and mobilize thousands of volunteers in an all-out blitz to win marriage equality in New York. You helped bring 250 pro-equality clergy members to Capitol Hill this week. And together we've sparked a new, national conversation about homophobia in sports.

But make no mistake. We could win in New York – or right-wing hatred could prevail. More sports stars could support equality – or more slurs could air on national TV. Speaker Boehner could stop spending tax dollars to defend discrimination in the DOMA case – or we could see a resurgence of discriminatory efforts in Congress.

It all depends on how quickly we can react to a crisis, on how skillfully we can fight when it counts – and on you.

WOW, I thought we were giving them money to work on our behalf.

All this after their massive failure in Tennessee. Where were they?? I’m sure Joe didn’t put his beauty treatment and shopping for over price suits and underwear in front of the rights of the Tennessee’s LGBT community.
