Unhinged losers: Prop. 8 opponents threaten Mormons and Catholics
Gay marriage activists in California refuse to accept the passage of Prop. 8, the traditional marriage initiative.
They’ve marched in Los Angeles. They’re targeting the Mormon Church in Salt Lake City. And they’re threatening to burn down churches and hunt down people of faith who supported the ballot measure:
Decisions by voters in Florida, Arizona and California to join residents of 27 other states with constitutional protections for traditional marriage have prompted threats of violence against Christians and their churches.
“Burn their f—ing churches to the ground, and then tax the charred timbers,” wrote “World O Jeff” on the JoeMyGod blogspot today within hours of California officials declaring Proposition 8 had been approved by a margin of 52 percent to 48 percent. Confirmation on voter approval of amendments in Florida and Arizona came earlier.
The amendments in all three states essentially limit marriage to one man and one woman. In California, the measure states the only marriages “valid and recognized” in the state are those between one man and one woman.
Thirty states now have adopted marriage amendments. However, in California, the vitriol appeared especially high since the state Supreme Court in May created same-sex marriage for homosexuals. Proposition 8 overruled the court decision, readopting the marriage definition California voters adopted in 2000.
On a blog website, “Tread” wrote, “I hope the No on 8 people have a long list and long knives.”
Another contributor to the JoeMyGod website said, “While financially I supported the Vote No, and was vocal to everyone and anyone who would listen, I have never considered being a violent radical extremist for our equal rights. But now I think maybe I should consider becoming one. Perhaps that is the only thing that will affect the change we so desperately need and deserve.”
A contributor identifying himself as “Joe” said, “I swear, I’d murder people with my bare hands this morning.”
The Huffington Post is leading the charge to strip the Mormon church of its status as a religious organization.
A Carlsbad man was arrested after allegedly assaulting an elderly couple over their pro-Prop. 8 sign:
accused of punching an elderly couple because they had Yes On Prop 8 signs in their yard says he’s innocent.
Thursday, Lawrence Pizzicara pleaded not guilty to attacking his neighbors on Monday allegedly during an argument over Prop 8 signs.
The couple suffered numerous injuries.
Pizzicara is being held on $200,000 bail.
But don’t expect to read any condemnations of this insane rage on the NYT front page…
***
Since blacks and Latinos voted overwhelmingly for Prop. 8, I fully expect to see gay zealots marching onto South Central and East L.A. and threatening to burn down houses and businesses there.
Waiting…

You mean like the civil unions that aren’t good enough for these lunatics?
jegjr said:
No, but 4 years from now I will.
when people will not be ruled by God, they will be governed by tyrants…
My kids felt so much better that Prop. 8 passed. They felt sad that if it passed other kids growing up in same sex unions would not experience having both a Female and Male role model. Rest assured the Gay Marriage supporters will try to get Prop. 8 overturned by going to the court. We the people voted and let it stand. If the gay marriage supporters want it so bad, get it on the ballot and let us all decide.
Actually, it’s more narrow than that.
The amendment merely states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion…”
The courts have definitely overreached on this many times. A literalist wouldn’t disallow state laws or executive branch administrative laws.
I think it’s imperative for Christians to do what we have always done when threatened by the Godless Hordes: GET ON OUR HORSES AND CONVERT THEM, AT SWORD-POINT!
Uhhh… I mean… Turn the other cheek.
Sorry. Just having a Crusader/Inquisition moment there…
Disclaimer: This post is a joke. Before you pop a vessel, please remember that. I’m RobM1981, and I approve this message…
So much for “compassion”, “diversity”, and “open-mindedness….”

It’s nice to see that San Francisco and the unhinged leftists circa 2008 is actually Missouri, circa 1844.
Do you think they’ll break into the Church Office Building in Salt Lake City and tar and feather Thomas S. Monson?
Just out of curiosity, HuffPoo, will you also be leading the charge to have the Catholic, Baptist and other churches that were a part of the coalition to be stripped of their status as a religious organizations?
How about we strip HuffPoo of its status as a
reputableblog? This action has already done it.Ah yes… these are the people who are supposed to teach the rest of us about tolerance.
Quick… someone call the Village People. Maybe a concert will distract them long enough to make them forget about this violent nonsense.
These zealots almost make me embarrassed to be gay.
And some of the comments here almost make me embarrassed to be conservative.
Define irony. Since blacks and Latinos voted overwhelmingly for both Prop. 8 and Barack Obama, that means that all of the white, liberal gays and lesbians who worked so hard to increase minority voter registration on behalf of our new fearless leader were, unwittingly, also helping to pass the proposition banning gay marriage. That just warms the cockles of my cold little heart.
denver republican said:
The gay activists threaten violence against a peaceful, democratic result.
On the other hand, people here are reacting towards violence and insults towards them and people like them.
And you are trying to somehow equate the two?
I am almost embarrassed for you.
all i have to say is I vote yes on 8 so anytime your sissies want to come hunt me down ill be waiting and ill be locked and loaded.
HuffPoo stands zero chance of doing anything against the Mormon Church or any other. Polls showed that 70 percent of African-American voters in California voted for Prop 8, even though they voted for Barack Obama and other Dem candidates. This is a non-partisan issue, its a moral issue, just as the Catholics and Mormons have been saying. Neither of these religious organizations as advocated removing constitutional rights for gays and lesbians; quite the contrary. But the gay and lesbian hordes (maybe an overstatement) are perfectly willing to deprive their opponents of not only their rights, but their lives as well (if you believe these trolls.) Very instructive.
Whhhhaaaaat?!?! They want to burn down churches? I thought that they’re protests would mostly consist of scented candlelight vigils…
Fo’ shizzle, the swizzle twizzlers are in a dizzle, yo.
Not at all. But comments here calling all gays hateful and trotting out all the tired old crap questioning our manliness is irritating. Threatening violence is absurd and calling out those who make the threats is always appropriate. It’s the extraneous nonsense that I’m speaking to.
If you are truly gay and conservative, you are definitely a rugged individualist. Finding conservatives in the gay community is like finding Cognac at a Baptist picnic.
To be accurate, that would be Carthage, Illinois, 1844, although Missouri was a few years earlier, circa 1838.
denver republican said:
So there are lots of posts here claiming that all gays are hateful? Even if that were the case, it wouldn’t be that far from the truth. There are a lot of gays that are hateful. Would you have seen this kind of result from the other side if the vote went another way? Not even close. The truth hurts.
denver republican said:
Threatening violence in response to nonviolence is something completely different than people responding to violence with some disparaging remarks. Which your post, at least implicitly, treated the same. I think that speaks volumes about you.
THIS IS INSANE!
I am a gay man, 57 years old, living with my partner of 20 years here in California. We have a Domestic Partner law here in CA, and have for years. Domestic Partners have all “spousal rights” that the state of California can give, such as joint tax filing, community property, etc.
“Marriage” would have changed none of this. We would have no more rights being “married” than being “DP’d”, as we say.
But no, the “activist” crowd just HAD TO PUSH THIS in peoples’ faces. And they lost.
And now this mob action. It’s going to backfire, and badly.
Leftists are leftists are leftists. The playbook is always the same.
Good call, sdillard.
Political bigotry,
unleashed hate,
Ain’t it great,
how Obama wins in 08,
Frankly, if teh gheys and the Idiot HuffPosters want to declare war on religion, I’d love to see them alienate the other 80% of America.
Speaking of HuffenPuff, they labeled my blog a right-wing hate site. I was so happy, I designed a logo just for the occasion. I call him, Hatey.
How has America come so unhinged that the Klan has taken root in the gay community?
Bad Link in the last comment. This should work: My “right wing hate blog,” featuring Hatey McHate.
?
Denver Republican, Sdillard, I’m adding you two to my prayer list.
I’m sorry to disagree with you but I believe this a legal issue. If we take a basic natural law structure and we break down the absolutes of a man and woman only, then we create a “slippery slope”. Legal precedent will be achieved, redefining marriage and because of civil rights laws, other forms of marriage can not be denied. This needs to be looked at as in the same perspective as abortion. There can not be arbitrary lines defining life and death and there can not be arbitrary line in defining marriage.
THE OPERATIVE WORD IS ARBITRARY.
kudos to you sdillard (#119).
That goes without saying. They’re just looking for a reason.
Ironically, these are the same people who drive cars with bumper stickers that say, “Hate is not a family value.”
Harry Reid (Mormon) needs to speak to this right now!
Change churches to synogogues and where are we?
Good lord, Trollman, you know four things about me: I live in Denver, I call myself a Republican, I’m gay, and I’m conservative. The fact that you can’t comprehend my point – that the violence threatened by the gay zealots ought to be condemned, but can be so without resorting to name-calling and anti-gay rhetoric (not all gays, believe it or not, agree with the protesters) – doesn’t say a thing about me, just about your ability to read.
Liberals, threatening violence on those who disagree.
I’d feign shock, but…i just cant lol.
People voted. One side lost. One side won. Why cant that just be the end of it?
Harry Reid, (My Senator),
cannot say anything against his party (Liberals)
for fear of being (internet Bombarded) taken to the wood shed,
by his party (Liberals)
He is and has been a coward for a long time.
He is the puppet of the left.
From where I sit in Las Vegas, I think I can see the strings.
It is clear, and statistics prove, that the ideal environment for children to raised in, is with their natural mother and father. This relationship, not only raises happier, better adjusted and more productive children, but the parents also are far better off than those in any other type of family relationship that does not include an intact family unit. “Intact nuclear families” are the “bricks” that all healthy societies are built with. To celebrate and encourage blended (step) families, single moms, Mr. moms, un-wed parents and homosexual families, is to discourage that which strengthens individuals, families, communities and our nation. Of course the “ideal family” is not always possible, but it should be encouraged wherever possible, and less healthy alternatives should be tolerated only as a last resort.
To present homosexuality as a normal human behavior, and something to be proud of, is to turn reason and common sense on its head. I believe that homosexuality is obviously an abnormal behavior. Today’s popular culture has lost the ability to distinguish between normal and abnormal, right and wrong, healthy and unhealthy, considerate and inconsiderate, masculine and feminine, positive and negative, fact and fiction, noble and shameful and good and bad.
Propoasition 8 Passes, Homosexuals Raise a Ruckus
Aren’t the names “Utopia” and Shangri-la” already taken? What could we name such a place? Spike Lee would say “Mayberry.”
I voted “Yes on 8.” To see these fascist haters in the streets, making threats and blocking traffic, is not a surprise. They will accept nothing less than the total validation and promotion of their chosen lifestyle. Funny how the “tolerant” are so intolerant of anyone who disagrees with them, isn’t it?
Because totalitarians never give up. they will pull strings in the courts, bully elderly opposing voters, and slander dissenters.
Tolerance is demanded, never given by this group
- And I mean leftist totalitarians, like Nazis, and Communists, not homosexuals.
We once had a governor declare us to be “enemies of the state” and order our extermination if we didn’t leave Missouri. And we’re supposed to fear a bunch of deranged homosexuals* and the Huffington Post? Give me a break!
* I’m not saying all homosexuals are deranged, just these.
I will not go after them. But if they come after me?
Bring it. And bring body bags, because if you *threaten* my life or liberty, I will *take* yours.
Excellent post.
A famous former homosexual said something to the effect that homosexuality is really just lust wrapped in pornography.
These folks just added blind rage and hate to the mix.
Not pretty.
Because Liberals idealogy demands they never quit
They can never stop
There is no end to the list of demands from liberals
If they win this issue, it is not over
It never ends
Idealogy must be served, and the liberals serve that idealogy with rage
sdillard:
Thank you for your comments. Very, very, very eye-opening.
Why can’t Reublicans and Conservatives understand that?
Make that “IDEOLOGY”
Michelle!!!! Please give us an edit feature!!!!
#100 – We already had it on the ballot and 61% voted to make marriage between only one man, and one woman.
That’s when the courts threw it out. They overturned the will of the people.
That’s why this vote was to ammend the Calif constitution and it is now an ammendment instead of a law.
Haha! I appreciate the responses. I should have made it more clear the question was rhetorical, but..you guys are absolutely right.
Let’s see here – we have the “gays” threatening to assault decent people for not being down with the “gay” lifestyle.
Where have we seen that before?
Oh – I remember – Genesis, chapter 19 and town called “Sodom”.
The government shouldnt be either anti gay or pro gay.
Marrage should never be defined by the state its as simple as that
Ditto. He made an excllent point.
I am a render unto Caesar type. If the State, which is amoral, wants to afford rights to people like sdillard, that is within the State’s purview.
My Christian belief is that homosexuality is a sin. So is lying to your neighbor or cheating on my income tax. Sin to God is sin. Some of my fellow Christians do not share my views on homosexuality.
I am sure there things I am sure that do not think are sins that are that I will never ask forgiveness for. Will I go to Hell for that? No, because my Savior knows I am imperfect and I ask him to forgive all my sins.
I return to my premise from a previous post. The State has to recognize that the word “marriage” is tied to a religion based relationship that believers feel is insituted by God. If the State wants to have a secular equivalent for temoral purposes and do not call it marriage, that’s within Caesar’s authority. Caesar being the majority.
These gay zealots are not pro gay rights, they are anti-Christian. sdillard’s post proves that with crystal clarity.
We should be witnesses to our faith and in love express our concerns to those who do not share our beliefs. However, I WILL cross swords with gays or anyone else is when they use a public venue to “evangelize” to my children or attempt to force me to not “render unto God the things that are God’s.”
Sdillard and his partner sound like they would be good neighbors, no different than a liberal Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddist, agnostic who practices “Do unto others.” That kind of tolerance and respect for our neighbor’s rights, not the forced kind these gay rioters advocate is the way America is supposed to work.
Like that campaign sign we saw held up like the black man, “I am Joe the Plumber and yes we are related, We are American.”
My opinion.
Hey you guys out there threatening Catholics – I’m right here. Come get me.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Bring it on, you yellow-bellied weaklings.

Sigh.. that man is such an affront to me as a Mormon. He does not represent the beliefs of vast majority of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka Mormon). He’s an embarrassment.
Before all this, I would have agreed. But at this juncture in time, if marriage is not defined by the State as to one man, one woman, it will be defined as anything goes. And that is not acceptable.
Gay marriage should be a states right issue.
Damn papists!!!!

The Governor of Oklahoma, Brad Henry, is a Southern Baptist, and was a Deacon in his Church.
Yet, he thinks more gambling, and a lottery, will save our schools. Well, they didn’t.
And he supported Obama, when the state actually supported Hillary Clinton as the Democratic Nominee.
So, I understand what you mean when a prominent figure mis-represents your religion.
Really? Among other things, marriage is a type of contract between individuals. The state has a role in the marriage contract just as it does in other contracts. How else can it protect its citizens against fraud or make sure that parties in a contract are treated fairly under the law.
Do you really think the state has no interest in what happens to children after a divorce? A “separation of marriage and state” is not as simple as it may seem. The state has an interest in promoting healthy families, which compose the foundation of any viable society.
Michelle hit the nail on the head. The gay activists take a loss and immediately lash out at religious groups while not even one peep about the true reason Prop 8 passed, which was the overwheling support by blacks and Hispanics. You won’t find a single MSM article with any reference to this either.
The word “black” does not even appear in this article.
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081107/D94A2EA80.html
sdillard..
Your post says it all. Let’s hope this outrageous behavior doesn’t undo the current social tolerance of same gender relationships. The fringe zealots of all issues cause major harm.
The same gender community doesn’t need ostentatious and vulgar misrepresentation which could drive us back to the attitudes of the fifties and sixties. I don’t want to know if my neighbor, co-worker, or any acquaintance is queer and I shouldn’t be able to tell by their manner, dress or public actions.
Now THAT was funny. A three snorter.
LMAO!!! Oh, my God, that is the funniest thing I’ve read so far!!! I love it!
These loons have set back gay acceptance for years to come.
The No On 8 campaign was a negative, bullying one with the tone of “you’re a bigoted bastard if you vote for this.” One insulting ad even tried to compare prohibition on same sex marriage with Japanese internment camps and Jim Crow. I’ve seen signs that said “Say No to Hate, No to 8.” I’m surprised there wasn’t an ad that said, “Vote our way or else, you f-ing Christer breeders!” So I’m not surprised this is how they take defeat.
I triple dog dare them to take their hatefest to East L.A. or Compton.
When the State starts doing that, please let me know.
I’m gonna vidblog on this issue this weekend, but the blind loyalty that most gay/lesbian people give to the liberal cause and the Democratic party is absolutely mind-boggling to me. They’re so ready to lash out at churches and religions, but they are ignoring the blunt reality that it was the support of all those Obama voters that helped it pass. Without them, it likely wouldn’t have. Where’s the outrage over that, as Michelle pointed out?
Meanwhile, I can come here and get a spirit-lifter…you guys have me rolling on the floor, I love it. Why should I feel any compunction to show loyalty to a party that will smile at me, greet me with a great big hug, then stab me in the back while they’ve got me there?
I’ll stay conservative, ya’ll.
Which is the way I, as a woman, felt after their treatment of Sarah Palin.
The Democratic party looks out for one – #1. And that’s it.
They’ll step on anyone and everyone who gets in their way. So, in that regard, they’re pretty fair – equal opportunity backstabbers, if you will.
I really admire your political courage, I just read an article on Townhall[Jonah Goldberg], that underscored what you just said. Basically the premise being that the trouble with the progressives is that is it made up of various groups, each with their own agenda and they stick together for the sole aim of pushing forward their own agendas, no matter what the platform of the party. Which is why it is so ironic that prop 8 was overwhelmingly supported by the very same members of this progressive movement.

That’s it in a nutshell.
AniMEL,
A few years ago, a friend of the family stopped at the family business and was telling us about an adventure he had.
This guy was a rought and tumble “man’s man,” who looked like an old alley cat who had suurvived a hundred fights. He even wore an eye patch.
He recounted, “The other night I felt like a beer so I stopped in at the Acme Tap. I had never been there before. Did you know it was a gay bar? I have never been in a gay bar before. I said to the guy I ended up dancing with, ‘This is the strangest bar I have ever been in.‘”
Someone should remind the human refuse (the ones making threats to burn churches) that God NEVER makes threats. He makes promises.
My collie says:
When the time comes, I promise you that you’ll be the first to know.
BTW, I’ll never BE Mormon and I’ll never BE Catholic — but I promise to stand side-by-side with ANY Mormon, or ANY Catholic, armed to the teeth if necessary, in order to protect a temple or a parish from being burned down by these “specimens”.
My collie says:
Don’t forget the Fairfax District
to the gay radicals advocating the burning of Mormon churches and or businesses, you may want to rethink that…I grew up in Utah, the Mormons as a whole are very patient, tolerant people, trust me they will not be intimidated, harassed or abused by their houses of worship being destroyed. They will defend what’s theirs.
To clarify I left the church when i was 12, many years ago.
“long knives”?
Let’s review history…
From Wikipedia:
The Night of the Long Knives was a purge that took place in Nazi Germany between June 30 and July 2, 1934, when the Nazi regime carried out a series of political executions, most of those killed being members of the Sturmabteilung (SA), a Nazi paramilitary organization. Adolf Hitler moved against the SA and its leader, Ernst Röhm, because he saw the independence of the SA and the penchant of its members for street violence as a direct threat to his power.
“Be Prepared”
The Mormon church is no longer a religion. It is an organisation dedicated to destroying any semblance of dignity afforded to gay people. It should have it’s tax exemption revoked, without question.
All laws are arbitrary. What’s with this law saying that people older than a certain age can vote, but not people younger than it? Arbitrary.
LOL Flyoverman #171.
Didja ever hear the song Uneasy Rider ‘88 by the Charlie Daniels Band? Sounds kinda like your friends adventure!
Prove that it’s no longer a religion, Omu.
And prove how they – as opposed to the violent, bigoted rioters in the streets of CA – are destryoing the dignity of gay people.
And where, pray tell, is your condemnation of the minority groups that passed the measure by an overwhelming majority? Will you call for a revocation of any minority group’s tax-exempt status?
My dog is capable of more sophisticated reasoning than that. And you people call yourselves brainy.
Here’s a similar argument. The Democratic Party is an organization dedicated to destroying the United States. It should be outlawed immediately, without question.
I’m sorry, Omu, but the First Amendment guarantees that the Federal Government cannot establish a religion, nor can it tell the members of a religion what to believe or not. If you don’t like the doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, then don’t go there. If you don’t like the way Mormons vote, then round up more people who agree with you and outvote them.
Requiring people to agree/accept/acquiesce to “values” and behaviors that they find to be morally repugnant is the act of a Fascist. Are you a Fascist, Omu?
BTW, I’m not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
“By Grabthar’s hammer, by the sons of Worvan…”
ECS
Emu, poor misguided emu.
before you spew dignity and gays in the same sentence again go look at some Folsom Street Fairy pictures….
Dignity my eye.
It’s true that your statement is “simple”, at least.
I’m not a Catholic, but save me a place at the barricades. I won’t let freedom of religion fall by the wayside because one of these days I might want to go to one for something other than weddings and funerals. “This We’ll Defend.”
ECS
Reading a column at American Spectator, the author lamented that we don’t know who we’re dealing with, given Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and all that.
Oh, we know exactly who we’re dealing with.
And they underestimate us.
We won’t be cowed by thugs, bullies, activists.
We will fight. I’ll stand beside anyone here to defend the fundamental right of religious freedom.
They are going to be so sorry they ever, ever crossed that “bitter, gun-clinging, religious” portion of this nation.
The second American revolution is on it’s way, with the results being America – 1, facist thugs – 0.
One of my sons (the very youngest…) is in the SF mission.
He told me in his emails abt prop 8, but Mormons knock on doors all the time, so don’t automatically aquaint that w/the Prop8 stuff. More likely it was ward members, not missionaries going around telling people abt it.
He’s older than most missionaries, because he also left and returned. He had to wait until he returned from his stint in the Marines, (infantry). When he returned to the Church, he decided that he wanted to go on a mission, and as was planning on returning to the Corps after. I wonder if the election has changed his plans…
I’m sure he’ll have some really interesting stories to tell when he gets back. I hope nobody bothers him, he’s kindof a sensitive guy.
Kristalnacht. “Stirb Juden!” Nazis one and all.

It’s sad to see someone so blinded. You are so sadly mistaken. Mormon’s are taught to treat all people with dignity. But you equate dignity with forced acceptance by us of your lifestyle. You are free to live your lifestyle. You are not free to force acceptance of the same on others.
So you can’t get married? You can still enter into a civil union with all the same benefits.
And Mormon’s who follow their faith (most of which do) will still treat you as a brother.
The contrast is, you would strip us of our very lives…
You are a sad, strange little man.
Never Give Up! Never Surrender!
aj, you beat me to the Folsom Street Fair! Well not literally – whew. That’s a dignified celebration.
Indeed, AniMEL, there is irony in the fact that a large Obama turnout -especially the black Obama vote – did as much (actually much, much more) to pass Prop 8 than did Donnie and Marie. Strange bedfellows who don’t wanna share a bed, as it were.
