Looks like fun for the whole family and a nice way to start what will be an interesting Kansas City weekend.
Can't go. Million dollars on the line in a Friday morning meeting.
ReplyDelete"Coach" Comstock is always in charge! Go! Coach Go! We are so proud of you!
ReplyDeleteKC Pride is so powerful in this town. No one messes with KC Pride.
ReplyDeleteMelodramatic bitches
ReplyDeleteCoach will put Todd on the run!
ReplyDelete"the labor movement, anti-sexual violence movement, anti-racism advocates, women's rights and queer advocacy"
ReplyDeleteOK, I get the the "anti-sexual violence movement" angle. and maybe even the "labor movement" one, but is Akin a Racist? If so, I have not heard any statements from him about that.
Is Akin Anti-women and anti queer as well?
I don't see what angle these people have.
Unless this is the constituency for McCaskill, which kinda makes ya think, don't it?
These black men, beating a white man last weekend, are NOT racists.

Now that Akin guy, HE IS A RACIST.
Why? When is the "why are you people so hostile (obamacare)" Claire protest? I don't give a shit what Akin said, I'll vote for him over Claire ANY FUCKING DAY.
ReplyDeleteYou just wait until those purse-wielding sissies have a go at Akins. Though that won't be as humiliating as having the bull-dykes holding him down and shitting on his head.
ReplyDeleteAnd then the drag queens will have a go at him. Spiked heels to the face for you, Akins!
blah.
ReplyDeleteTaliban Todd and his right wing cohorts are all a bunch of bigots that want Christian Sharia law. The only difference between this lot and the jackasses over in the middle east is the cult leader they prefer - Jesus or Mohammed. Not much of a fucking difference between them if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteWho cares what a heard from a local sexual preference organization thinks? Why is it that sexuality keeps getting tied to every other freaking election? I don't care who people are screwing I just am tired of getting screwed by candidates who get wrapped up in these damned gay, racial, special interest and bullshit agendas. Country is sinking like the Titanic and the fruits want to be attention whores? Gimme a break already.
ReplyDeleteIf these fucking queers are against him, I'M VOTING FOR AKIN!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of KCPride, but I have never heard of this Facebook based group: Are we sure it is for real?
ReplyDeleteAnon 10:52. The reason sexual preference gets tied in is because Republicans want the government to regulate your sexuality. Regulating banks that screw us out of billions, nope. Policing the environment so we don't breathe and drink poison, nope. But making sure women and homosexuals are kept in subversion, HELL YEAH!! Keep the ignorant bigots out of our personal lives, and it won't be a constant election issue.
ReplyDeleteMost credible groups do not ask people to bring their own posters, which might carry offensive messages that embarrass the cause. In addition, the term SHUT HIM DOWN is borderline violent. This does not sound like any of the KC groups I am familiar with.
ReplyDeleteAnon 10:55
ReplyDeleteIts nice to know that you've thought deeply about the issues.
Hey all you akin supporters... Make sure you vote on Tuesday nov 13...
ReplyDeleteAkin + bacon = The purrfect post abortion meal.
ReplyDeleteRemember the good-old-days when candidates talked about what they believed and planned to accomplish, rather than their version of what their opponent believed and planned to accomplish?
ReplyDeleteRemember the good-old-days when there were political supporters who supported their candidate of choice, rather than bashing their candidates opponent?
Candidates: Tell us your stances and then we can do the comparisons for ourselves.
What does rape have to do with Fags?
ReplyDeleteIf you a a fag you are also a pedophile, necrophiliac and enjoy bestiality.
ReplyDeleteSo much hate. I will not vote for it and THAT is why I'm voting for Claire.
ReplyDeleteSo what, is Claire a peace loving hippie? What about her has been todd for peace. She's the one backed by violent protesters.
ReplyDeleteThis is NOT an LGBT protest. Here's what the group's press release said: "A coalition of people representing various economic groups, labor groups, women's rights groups, LGBT groups, anti-racist groups, and concerned citizens will hold a rally in protest of Todd Akin's presence in Kansas City on Friday, September 28th at Crown Center."
ReplyDeleteByron, who would you vote for? Great, I'm voting for the other since you are a fucking moron.
ReplyDeleteWould this be part of that Godless Democrat Party?
ReplyDelete2:30: Undoubtedly you will vote for Romney and Akin if you get out of the looney bin that day.
ReplyDeleteI think all looney bins and nursing homes vote democrat when the dem operatives fill them out. Plus they have a lock on the dead people, felon, and illegal alien vote, add the fags and what a fine stew.
ReplyDelete4:08 Agree 100%. Dems are crooked.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's just a "Queers for Claire" meeting. Make sure to attend and enjoy your time with your fellow queers, fagots and dykes.
ReplyDeleteLegitimate lesbians cannot get raped. Their bodies have a way of shutting down hard-ons.
ReplyDeleteI think their looks pretty much shut down the hard on.
ReplyDelete4:47... That's cause you go for little boys...
ReplyDeleteWhy do the dykes and fags care?
ReplyDeleteThey already choose a lifestyle that prohibits pro-creation.
The only good fag, is a dead fag. Let's get out there tomorrow and thin the faggot herd. I'm putting the scope on my rifle tonight.
ReplyDelete4:08--and you would know that from personal experience, I presume?
ReplyDeleteI endorse Todd Akin.
ReplyDeleteAnon 5:35 must be a closet homo like Taliban Todd. Most of these gay hating Rethuglicans are in the closet themselves. Why do you think they named themselves Teabaggers?
