We can’t restrict high-capacity magazines because gay marriage leads to bestiality

Apr 02, 2013 21:38

The Texas Republican got very creative -- and very offensive -- in recent remarks against gun control

Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert started to answer a question about a ban on high-capacity magazines during a Tea Party conference call this week, but ended up talking about - wait for it - bestiality.

Here’s what Gohmert had to say about his ( Read more... )

tea bagging, you stay classy, wtf, scumbags, second amendment, stupid people, tea party, fuck this guy, marriage equality, gun control

I got as far as Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert and am like nope. Not gonna bother with another Gohmert story.

*nods her head* I understand. Gohmert=completely fucking nuts hateful.

These jokers don't seem to understand the concept of consent. At all.

Has the Republican Party ever understood the concept of consent?

nitasee April 3 2013, 18:31:03 UTC

Considering their views on rape, I'd say nope.

What? That doesn't even slightly make sense. The comparison would make significantly more sense if he were arguing the opposite of what he actually is, in fact, and saying that limits on fire arms are necessary or else we'll have people walking around with nuclear bombs in their pockets.

But, hey, I'm willing to run with the gay marriage = guns comparison. I have a solution to both problems: Nobody can have any guns, period, and nobody can get married, period. Owning guns leads to owning assault rifles which probably leads to WWIII, and cishet marriage leads to queer marriage which apparently leads to bestiality and giant grasshoppers. Let's just nip this in the bud and completely ban both, and then, while we're not busy wondering whether our six year olds need backpacks made out of armour, we can push through some social/immigration/healthcare reforms that don't suck and will finally actually solve the problems that marriage has been acting as a bandaid for. Oh, and while that's happening, you can have consensual sex with whomever ( ... )

OMG that giant grasshopper is terrifying. Also the duck is huge, or the horse small, and I'm pretty certain changing human social mores aren't going to convince a beaked animal to like tongue. But what do I know? Maybe all the kinky ducks get off on that. What an amazing poster.

(Edit to add: I am also willing to jump on your no-guns-or-marriage bandwagon, btw).

Well, ducks are pretty kinky to begin with.

Wow. I think this is a textbook case of http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InsaneTrollLogic.

"Bedevere: So, logically...
Peasant: If... she... weighs... the same as a duck... she's made of wood?
Bedevere: And therefore...?
(Beat)
Another Peasant: ... a witch!
Crowd: A witch! A witch! A witch!!

^that above makes more sense than Gohmert's argument. And that's saying something.

People who use such comparisons when talking about gay relationships - paedophilia, bestiality, necrophilia, etc. - terrify me. They have no concept of consent whatsoever and they are ALL potential or realized rapists and a major threat to civilized society.

nitasee April 3 2013, 18:38:24 UTC

Exactly.

zinnia_rose April 3 2013, 21:15:45 UTC

So much this. I once got into an argument with some asshole on Facebook who honest to god did not get the difference between being gay and being a pedophile and I was like "So...you're a rapist. Good to know!"
