Jay Townsend, GOP Spokesman: 'Let's Hurl Some Acid At Those Female Democratic Senators'

[MrScorpio]

A spokesman for Rep. Nan Hayworth (R-N.Y.) is facing criticism after advocating violence against female Democratic senators in a Facebook post.

Jay Townsend, the official campaign spokesman for the freshman representative, went on a vicious online rant on Saturday, which he began by taunting a constituent who voiced criticism about an earlier post on gas prices. "Listen to Tom. What a little bee he has in his bonnet. Buzz Buzz," Townsend wrote.

"My question today... when is Tommy boy going to weigh in on all the Lilly Ledbetter hypocrites who claim to be fighting the War on Women? Let’s hurl some acid at those female democratic Senators who won’t abide the mandates they want to impose on the private sector."

He attached a link to a Free Beacon article that claims female senators pay their male staffers more than their female staffers.

A moderator of the NY19 U.S. House of Representatives Civil Discussion Center page responded to Townsend, asking him to "please refrain from calling our members names." The unnamed moderator also asked if Hayworth knew about his comments or whether he had "gone rogue."

1. Geez...

that is scary shit, imo.

2. Not the entire country

Just the Republicans...a political party now allying itself with mysogists, racists, bigots, and members of various Neo-Nazi organizations!

It's about time the real Republicans finally stepped forward...

[Tippy]

4. I just wonder how many real republicans are left?

[atreides1]

5. Not many

...at least not many with the courage to step forward and denounce the party and the road it's taking!

3. The war on women is not a war on women to some of these jerks.

They think it is okay to threaten, oppress, belittle, shame and dismiss women. That isn't a war to them, it is perfectly normal.
Their hatred is their reality.

6. One would like to think he was Tweeting figuratively.

One would also like to believe in the Easter Bunny.

8. He should be fired

If he is not it shows the mind set of Hayworth

9. Maybe we should waterboard Townsend or Hayworth.

After all, they don't think it's torture ...
