The Racist and Homophobic Yard Sale Posting You Won’t Believe
GAWKER ^ | July 18, 2011 | Brian Moylan

Posted on 07/18/2011 9:08:18 PM PDT by Beaten Valve

Imagine a bargain hunter's shock and dismay when responding to an ad on Craigslist listing a bunch of possessions for sale and then receiving an email announcing that gay people, Muslims, and illegal immigrants aren't allowed to purchase the wares. Read it for yourself.

Our tipster, who lives in the D.C. area, responded to an ad on Craigslist, which has been taken down, expressing interest in one of the items for sale. He received this mass email response peppered with casual racism and homophobia. I've highlighted the worst parts, but the whole thing is really amazingly awful.

"i have been a bit overwhelmed by the response, so have devised an easier way to disseminate information and pix of the items for sale for all of you who have contacted me. i've set up a publicly accessible facebook photo album for items for sale. please post any questions you have on the facebook page, this way you will also know if someone else has already expressed interest in an item and at what price or if the item is sold, as i will mark it so.

additionally, there will be a garage sale this sunday, 17 july 2011 from 11am - 7pm, for the items already pictured in the album and more. photos will continue to be added via the mobile pix facebook album, so please also check there as internet access has already been disconnected in the home and it's the only way to upload quickly and easily. all are welcome to the moving sale / garage sale except for LGBT people, illegal immigrants, and muslims, anyone else is warmly welcomed! no drama, terrorism, or illegal transactions with non-US citizens / illegal immigrants / people taking jobs away from people who belong and are legal in this country is desired.

He just doesn’t have a strong command of the English language. Lots of people don’t. What he needed to say was “no fags, ragheads or wetbacks.”

Wow! That’s exactly who I thought of when I read the story. “Nigger lover”? That’s so 1950. Nobody says that anymore, not even in the deep South.

Classic Saul Alinsky/Cloward & Piven, Rules for Radicals tactics. Look for this stuff to escalate. If there isn’t a crisis, they’ll create it, hoping to start either a racial war or class war. And the ringleader sits in the White House, using his union thugs as operatives to do things like infiltrate Tea Party rallies, impersonate members and display racism for the cameras.

Apparently Brian Moylan is a Leftist hysteric given to flights of rhetorical excess.

So don’t go, don’t answer the ad.

Bunch of drama queens.

This is horrible. Do people like this still exist? After two generations of enforced political correctness, have we not conformed everyone’s thoughts to the acceptable standard?

There’s only one response to this. We must severely punish this intolerant person. Perhaps even capital punishment. We want everyone to be tolerant, right? So, we must not tolerate this behavior.

Well then, let's do a little creative un-PC editing:

all are welcome...except for LGBT people munchers, packers and other disease ridden whack jobs...illegal immigrants wetbacks and all other criminal invaders and muslims maniacal murdering moslems.

That’s what I was thinking as well.

“Sexually confused” would be the most “PC” that I would get.

I refuse to have garage sales anymore.
We just bag the stuff up and give it to charity and let them sort it out.

What happens with garage sales is that a whole bunch of illegals show up all at once, overwhelm the sale, distract the people giving it, and when they leave, all items of value have been stolen.

And why not?

A "hospitality" (service) businesses is a horse of a different color than a yard sale. It's comparing apples and oranges.

1) There’s really no such thing as “homophobic”. “Homomysic” might be the more correct term.
2) Being an illegal immigrant does not constitute a “race”.
3) Being a Muslim does not constitute a “race”.

You’re right. I see nothing “homophobic” or “racist” in this sale posting.
