Those College Republicans are at it again

[Rocknrule]

A friend showed me this today. I'm guessing he saw it on a Myspace profile. My faith in humanity has really been shaken now...

"Me and like-minded Christian students are trying to organize a mock stoning of openly gay students at our campus. We will be using crumpled up gray/brown construction paper to represent rocks, and will recite bible verses in opposition to their sinful nature. We will throw a volley or two of these "rocks" at every Gay person we happen to encounter that day."

How much do you want to bet after these guys get their asses kicked they scream "Christian persecution!"?

2. There is not a less-evolved collection of tree dwellers.....

than College Republicans. :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

3. I would have...

...them up on assult charges so fast they would be laughing out the other side of their faces.

[AspenRose]

16. Hate crime, big time.

I swear, these people don't read the Bible.

[MikeNearMcChord]

4. I would like to ask them, if they are also going to throw stones

at any student that practices adultery, works on the Sabbath, curses his father or mother, takes the name of the Lord in vain? Then again I truly wonder if this is guerrilla theater from The Onion?

6. What ever happened to

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"?

I suppose those college Republicans believe they are without sin. :eyes:

[Rocknrule]

13. They interpret it as "Let me who is without sin cast the 1st stone"

[rockymountaindem]

7. That can't be for real

I mean, unless they're going to Oral Roberts, where there probably aren't any gay students anyway, a stunt like this would mean a one-way ticket out of school.

8. Okay, here's what the opposition does

Get someone to dress up as Jesus, get a group to dress up like that time period, choose one of the women to be the "whore," and drag her to Jesus to ask if it's okay to stone her.

Of course, the whole point of this is Jesus said let those without sin cast the first stone so if on the off-chance one of the college repubs makes that connection, they can turn it around on you and say, "So you're at least agreeing that homosexuality is a sin then."

So maybe not do that, but just have Jesus there weeping or telling the stoners that he'll pray for them to see the light.

9. How about we claim the college pubs are witches and warlocks

and burn them at the stake. Who made them judge and jury?

[Selatius]

10. Religious fundamentalism is a problem where I attend university in Mississippi.

These kinds of acts generate an atmosphere, intentionally or unintentionally, that may make individuals feel it is okay to make them feel less than human or physically assault or even kill people simply because of sexual orientation.

[muntrv]

11. Let's throw enlistment papers at the college republiks after the gay people

throw felony assault charges at them.

[eppur_se_muova]

12. This sounds like an effective protest AGAINST fundies ...

that's sure how I would interpret it if I saw it without explanation. It seems so much like a mockery I don't see how anyone could take it as anything BUT a parody.

[eagler]

14. This has to be a joke. No one can be that dimwitted

[proud patriot]

15. I swear if I ever see that in person I will yell at the stoners

"and God shall judge you based on your judgement of others"

"Jesus lived to tell us the good news , that he who is without
sin is to cast stones . We are all sinners there has been only
one and he never stoned anyone he had love for all of us ."

On my honor

Thank goodness I'm not a Republican Christian because they give Jesus a bad name .

17. As non-violent as I try to be

...sometimes a good old fashioned ass whoopin' is needed in situations such as this.

[Vilis Veritas]

18. The thread on that site appears to be a troll...

Not one poster has responded in kind. Several have called the poster out as a troll.

The poster even calls himself out further down-thread...not sure why you posted this...it serves nothing but the lower purpose of spreading hatred and fear.

Peace.

[L. Coyote]

19. How about mock crucifixions for bigots? KIDDING

How about informing the Dean of Students and getting then sent to a nice, third-rate community college for basket-weaving classes and sensitivity training.

[Vilis Veritas]

20. This was posted on that website as a mockery.

The poster calls himself out after getting rebuked at every turn and reveals it was a sham.

There are motives in posting this here that are less than worthy of DU. IMO.

Peace.

[OzarkDem]

21. They need to visit their local Army recruiter

Sounds like they have too much time on their hands and could benefit from a year in Iraq.

[BlooInBloo]

22. (shrug) It's the true expression of christianity.

[Vilis Veritas]

23. No it is not.

This was a mock post on that site. The poster got rebuffed at every turn and finally admitted his scam.

Fear-mongering and dis-information are being spread now more than ever...I am not so sure of the motives for posting here at DU.

We are being played to widen the divide. IMO.

Peace.

[BlooInBloo]

24. Yah it is - hoax or not. Reality != marketing.

[TankLV]

30. It was a trial baloon - to see how it would play...

they are getting bolder and bolder...

glad they were stopped before they started...

the brownshirts aren't getting the traction that they continually hope for...

[trumad]

26. The divide is wide---get use to it.

[Vilis Veritas]

27. No.

Peace.

[Initech]

25. Unbelievable.

I hope these scum-sucking pieces of shit get double secret probation or somethin. :grr:

[Ilsa]

28. How about a mock stoning for people who think they are God and pass judgment on others?

I swear, I can't stand these judgmental repubmorons.

[alfredo]

29. I wonder if their club can get kicked off campus if they do go around

hitting people they think are gay.

[Prince Paul]

31. LOL

[beltanefauve]

32. Whaaa???

"Me and like-minded Christian students..."

How did this Cro-Magnon even get accepted into college at all?
