The kind of bilious, hate-driven homophobic nonsense spewing out of the mouth of Congresswoman Virginia Foxx, R-NC, makes me ill.  I know a lot of smart people in North Carolina.  It remains unclear to me how they could allow a monster like this to govern them.

Unsurprisingly, at this time, the good Congresswoman is unavailable for comment by any phone number I can find (I’ve tried eight so far; they all just ring, or go to voicemail.)

If you are a republican, it is people like this which are why your political support has dropped to a historic low of 16%.  For reference, 14% of americans support the legalization of Heroin; you’re near absolute clue zero.  If you’re from North Carolina, I sure hope you’re a Democrat.  If you aren’t, and you know what happened here …

I cannot imagine how Virginia Foxx came to the notion that the Matthew Shephard tragedy was “a hoax.”  This woman should be ashamed of herself for making such a claim.

Please let the congresswoman know what you think.

If this woman retains her seat past the next election, North Carolina will join Texas and Alaska as states full of people with absolutely unfathomable priorities.  Just unbelievable that this woman is willing to show her face in public after perpetrating such obvious hate driven fiction.

I would consider this a new low for a place like Westboro Baptist, the people who stalk funerals.  For this to come out of a seated congressperson’s mouth after 1850 is just stunning.

And here I thought Raleigh-Durham and Chapel Hill were representative of the state.  Makes you wonder what Rep. Brad Miller thinks; he’s forward enough to understand why Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is destructive.
