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.

Okay, I can understand illegal immigrants and muslims... but what has he got against garden railroading fans?!
There really isn’t a word for what ‘homophobic’ is supposed to be used for.
There is a root word, ‘miso’ , meaning ‘hatred’, as in misogynist, meaning ‘hatred of women’.
I came across a apparently recently coined word ‘misohomy’ which they use to mean ‘hatred of homosexuals’. So, one prcaticing it would be a ‘misohomist’. It may catch on.
"No Fags, Hags, or Rags".
An Austin talk show host lost his job for using that term on the air several years ago too.
My guess would be it is an article planted to get a desired reaction, disguised, though, as having a different intent. It looks like media manipulation.
That makes the LGBTs misoheteroists.
Take it easy. My point was that is how liberals perceive so-called old school rednecks and what they would supposedly say in the 2000’s. Not to say anything negative about Southerners in general. That lib hoaxer couldn’t even be a good anti-Southerner bigot. And BTW, IMHO, southern whites were less “racist” than northern whites both in 1950 and today. They got a bad rap in the media, because all that was shown were the vocal racists yelling at black people and treating them shamefully. The media never showed the vast majority of Southerners who weren’t and aren’t racist. The whites in that region had a lot more interaction with black people than northerners, and valued them as friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc. In the north, blacks were more likely to live in urban neighborhoods that had less interaction with whites, thus less chance to get to know them that way. I can’t speak for NYC, but I knew a heck of a lot more racists in the Midwest than I ever did in the South.
You are right.
I apologize
I had seen freepers on another thread blaming southern bigotry for why blacks vote 95 percent for Bro
Got a mite steamed but ignored them and then lashed out at you for a less offensive post..like I got a right to not be offended..lol
I’m nothing if not a defensive southerner but was wrong to fire at you
Gee, another member of the lavender mafia. 10-1 in the media and everybody thinks 25% of America is somewhat bi.
If don’t ask don’t tell is such bad policy, why do all of the gay anchors and editors remain closeted?
GBLTs offend mulsims. Gay bacon samiches.
The Left has been trying to align the Sharia law muslims with the gay community. Seems the gay community just doesn’t understand what Sharia law prohibits.
If you can’t sell lemonade on a street corner without 3 permits, you can’t go selling used merchandise without proper paperwork...
The newspaper editor didn't have that font.
DUH. That defines the homosexual existence.
Muslims see their identity as a race. If you are not BORN muslim, you are subhuman in their eyes.
You may even be considered the offspring of pigs and monkeys. Even a convert to Islam is unfit to marry their daughters. But if they seize YOUR daughters in jihad, well they are “good enough”.
Islamic supremacist is an ideology and they do believe it is birthright.
“Seems the gay community just doesnt understand what Sharia law prohibits.”
True. Nor do feminists, or Libs in general. They just don’t get it, that they’ll be the first to go in the mass beheadings of all us Infidels.
A year or two ago, in one of his fanatical speeches at our liberal colleges (Columbia U, I believe) Ahmedinejad proudly stated that there are no gays in Iran.
True - because he has all of them killed.
But recently, the Lavender Mafia was up in arms because Michelle Bachmann signed a pledge against same sex marriage and Sharia law. They didn’t line item veto the Sharia law bit, they were against her being against theocratic rule by a foreign power.
Dumb a s*** but then they pack enough, must be up to their eyeballs. Can’t see the stupidity of their rhetorical politics.
