Given how savagely anti-gay the mainstream Oklahoma Republican party is, its no surprise that the states Tea Partiers are so rabidly hateful that they come across more as dark satire than as serious bigots. To wit: This week, an Oklahoma magazine discovered that last summer, Tea Party state House candidate Scott Esk endorsed stoning gay people to death: I think we would be totally in the right to do it, he said in a Facebook post. Esk went on to add nuance to his position:
That [stoning gay people to death] goes against some parts of libertarianism, I realize, and Im largely libertarian, but ignoring as a nation things that are worthy of death is very remiss.
When a Facebook user messaged Esk to clarify further, he responded:
I never said I would author legislation to put homosexuals to death, but I didnt have a problem with it.

Well, they’ve stopped the bullying.
And the number of queers grows.
So if we stone ‘em...
Sure sounds like it.
He is not a dem plant. He plainly states that he is a libertarian.
Like the Dylan song?
Or the bumper sticker: `Get Stoned. Drink Wet Cement.’?
Hoemoesectshoealists have gotta grow a sense of humor.
Absolutely humorless, the cock-knockers.
I don’t think he understands what he is saying when he claims allegiance to Libertarians.
I think Thomas Jefferson would not be on board with this. Except maybe on a Navy Vessel. Jefferson was a man of his time after all and buggery would get you hanged on-board a Navy Vessel.
Even if somebody was for that, they wouldn’t state it on a campaign trail.
Also, the Democrats have NEVER used libertarian plants? umm... Sarvis?!
Can you supply some evidence that he is a dem plant?
I really hope you are right on this but I need some evidence.
Now that Cantor got beat look for more and more “stories” like this from the public relations wing of the Democrat Party (lamestream media)
Kind of like the Clown supporting the murder of newborns meant to be aborted, or the snipping of the brain stem of a child whose head is still in the birth canal? That kind of sick, right?
I will say right now that I vehemently oppose the above actions AND I likewise oppose the stoning of homosexuals.
And most Tea Party folk do, too.
You liberals are REALLLLLY stretching, aren’t ya?
I don’t know why, but your comment made me think of Bishop Fulton Sheen’s comments about listening to nuns’ confessions.
it was like being stoned to death with popcorn.
Not a plant...he’s a libertarian. I know many self described libertarians and I can’t repeat some of the things I’ve heard them say here.
we should post as many anecdotes as possible about kook democrats in office.
I guess he did. If you say so.
And if you want to post anti-Tea party crapola from Slate as if it were (hopefully) true, then....
IBTZ
The evidence is incidental. NO candidate, even a dominionist, if they were for such a thing would state it on the campaign trail for such a race. I speak as someone who has seen a lot of dominion theology media and interviews and such. They’re ideologically committed, but realistic about their desire to use stealth to advance their agenda.
This is not their MO. This is the MO of a libertarian plant being used by the rats just like they did in Virginia
Get lost
The only reason this would be posted is to paint conservatives as dominionists.
I really hope you are right on this but I need some evidence.

I don’t think you need evidence. You WANT to believe this, dontcha?
This guy is”Tea Party”like I’m from The Moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t have a problem with libertarians as a whole. We’re simply not going to win without them and that’s all there is to it so we better find the ones we can deal with.
Well I find it preposterous too, that’s why I asked for evidence.
Somebody is supporting this guy. Anyone know who?
