This ignorant person said that Matthew Shepard died during a robbery. How many robbery victims are beaten to within an inch of their life, strung up onto a barbed wire fence for display, and left to die, Representative Foxx?

The outrage I am feeling is beyond words.

1. what an ugly, hateful, bitch.

And I know some here frown on the term "bitch" but it's the only term that accurately describes Virginia Foxx.

[ronnykmarshall]

6. Give the bitch a call ...

2. I can't express how much I detest that wretch

I'm in Mel Watt's district, thankfully, so I don't have to suffer her on this side of town.

Foxx makes me want to scream bloody murder every time I see her putrid, cross-eyed, worthless carcass on the teevee.

[DWilliamsamh]

3. Wow, just wow.

I thought I had heard most of the lunatic right wing lead, "gay agenda conspiracy" theories. This is the craziest shit I have ever heard. This a-hole has GOT to be on the next "Top 10 Conservative idiots" list.

[yardwork]

4. She's horrible. Here's the worst part - the guy she ran against is worse.

Vernon Robinson ran a campaign focused on the need to get back to "1950s values" in North Carolina. Wait for it - he's African American. And yes, he really believes what he says, I think.

[libnnc]

17. This past election, she ran against Roy Carter (D)

who was terrific -- ex-football coach

she STILL beat him. She's got access to a ton of money and has always managed to hang on to her seat.

I'm hopeful she will talk herself OUT of it real soon.

...the cross-eyed wicked witch of Watauga County

[MasonJar]

23. This should be a Democratic Party target race for 2010. This woman is a

disgrace to her state and her country. This stupid and hurtful debacle in the House could be used to great advantage to unseat her in 2010. Go for it, North Carolina dems and DUers!!!!!!!

[Dinger]

27. Absolutely

:thumbsup:

[demo dutch]

37. She didn't carry Watauga county!

[AlbertCat]

5. Y'see, straight guys going to a gay bar to "roll a queer" has nothing to do with sexual identity

It's ALL about the robbery.

Leaving him to die, tied to a fence on display, shows no special animosity toward the victim. Most robbers do this type of thing to random victims.


What I just wrote is complete and utter bull shit and she knows it. Just another NC-ian making our beautiful and friendly state look like a RW circus of dumbfucks.
Thanks Foxx! Thanks Burr! Good riddance Dole. Do not rest in peace Helms.

[demo dutch]

7. When is Western NC going to get of that woman!

[BonnieJW]

20. How about this?

[Doc Martin]

9. [phone] Foxx D C Office

[Joe Bacon]

15. Well, I called her DC phone and what a response!

"God Loves You And So Do I" and I was hung up on.

My jaw just dropped and I'm still looking for it.

[Bolo Boffin]

18. Sounds like a new version of "Bless your heart"

In the South, you can do and say the most amazingly rude things as long as you precede it or follow it up with "Bless your heart."

[suede1]

21. I'll see if I get the same response today.

[sakabatou]

11. A clue-by-four is needed.

[Swede Atlanta]

12. Another RW Ignoramus

What an uneducated hick. It came out during the trial that the reason they beat him up was because he was gay. I guess she doesn't want to acknowledge that.

[Joe Bacon]

13. Does anyone still wonder why the GOP is fizzing like an Alka Seltzer?

Plop Plop and Fizz Fizz and soon the Libertarians will take away the GOP bizz...

[Hassin Bin Sober]

14. .

"They just wanted to beat him bad enough to teach him a lesson, not to come on to straight people, and don’t be aggressive about it anymore."

Said Kristen Price (McKinney's girlfriend)in Price's first interview with 20/20 in 1998.

[sasquatch]

16. Watch it later

[pacalo]

19. Unbelievable. I understand that Matthew Shepard's mother was present.

[jeff30997]

22. What a wicked ignorant slimy creature !

"During the trial, Chastity Pasley and Kristen Price (the pair's then-girlfriends) testified under oath that Henderson and McKinney both plotted beforehand to rob a gay man. McKinney and Henderson then went to the Fireside Lounge and selected Shepard as their target. McKinney alleged that Shepard asked them for a ride home. After befriending him, they took him to a remote area of Laramie where they robbed him, beat him severely (media reports often contained the graphic account of the pistol whipping and his smashed skull), and tied him to a fence with a rope from McKinney's truck. Shepard begged for his life. Both girlfriends also testified that neither McKinney nor Henderson was under the influence of drugs at the time. The beating was so severe that the only areas on Shepard's face that were not covered in blood were those where his tears had washed the blood stains away."

[ThatsMyBarack]

24. I'd watch this video myself....

But Perry Mason is on! ;)

[Maineman]

25. This despicable liar is the same one who attacked and

repeatedly interrupted a freshman Democrat who was trying to make a presentation on the floor of the House a few weeks ago. I believe it was Keith Olbermann who had the video.

[EnviroBat]

26. How the hell do people like this fucking retarded shit-rocket

become our elected leaders? No wonder this country is in the shitter with morons like this stupid fucker as a representative. Sad thing is, it's even stupider people that vote for these assholes. There are more of them. They breed like roaches.

[NorthCarolina]

28. Democrats who voted against HR 1913

Bobby Bright (Blue Dog-AL)
Dan Boren (Blue Dog-OK)
Chris Carney (Blue Dog-PA) who still hasn't learned his lesson
Travis Childers (Blue Dog-MS)

[valerief]

29. Foxx. The name suits her. nt

[mwb970]

30. Good God, not *another* crazy, ignorant right-wing hag! Please!

How many more of these harpies are there in the Congress? I think the media should do a real expose on crazy Congresswomen!

[L0oniX]

31. Can't wait until her kind are dead and gone. WTF would vote for her?

Says a lot about that state.

[demo dutch]

38. Western NC

[VaYallaDawg]

43. Please don't paint all of NC with the same brush as her.

That's just about as bad as Sarah Palin going to some small town in Ohio and saying "this is the real America."

There are lots of very wonderful people who want the best for our country who live in NC.

A few of them are even members of my family.

[L0oniX]

46. For fucks sake ...you're a bit overly sensitive. Try living in Florida ...we get more of it...

than most other states ...and well we deserve it being as how there are a ton of backward st00pid repuke morans here. I could care less if someone wants to call all Floridians whatever they want. Doesn't bother me and it shouldn't bother anyone else. I didn't move here because everyone in Florida is enlightened.

[Javaman]

32. ahh the racist bigot squawks again. nt

[demo dutch]

33. She just got re-elected, unbelievable!! What are they thinking in Wester NC!

[HillWilliam]

42. I'll tell you what went on

There was a good candidate and the last election was fairly close

**BUT**

the democrat, Roy Carter, got NO help from the DCCC, NO help from the DNC, NO help from HRC despite repeated pleas. We almost got rid of that idiot, but nobody at the national level seemed inclined to give a damn then. The woman was JUST as outrageous then as she is now -- she hasn't changed a bit.

Where was the outrage then?

In the 2004 campaign, her campaign against Vermin, er Vernon Robinson won notoriety as the nastiest campaign anywhere in the US and rightly so. Each one tried to out-nutbar and out-Jesus the other with consistently viler and more outrageous ads. Jesus Himself would personally have slapped the cat-shit out of either one, but that didn't stop them from invoking His name along with some anti-gay or anti-librul or anti-ethnic or anti-some-goddam-thing SCREED every 3.2 seconds.

The stench would have knocked a buzzard clean off a hockey-sucker truck.

We do everything we can at the local level. But if the national party doesn't give a damn, there's not a lot we can do when the pugs are throwing trucks of cash at their candidate.

[demo dutch]

45. Hopefully that will change, if she continues to show up on Keith Olberman. Maybe DNC

thinks it's a lost cause. I had not heard of her until we inherited some property of West Jefferson in Ashe County, which we visit regularly and we love it! We're not registered to vote there, but supported the local Dem party during the 08 election and I tell you what I'm outraged that some of our tax dollars go to this ignorant swine and everyting she stands for

[gimmeafrigginbreak]

34. Um... Virginia. Let Me Help You With This

There's been alot of hopelessly ignorant and shamefully twisted buffoons get elected to Congress over the years...especially in the GOP.

But, you deserve a place in the Ignorance Hall Of Fame.

It's sad and shocking, that even in North Carolina, there are enough backwards and bigoted retards like yourself to cast the votes necessary for our country to have an embarrassment like you in Congress.

If you have a spark or scintilla (look it up) of any class whatever in that soulless and mindless shell of carbon and oxygen you walk around in, you will apologize to Matthew Shephard's family and then resign the seat you've been disgracing for too long in our Congress.

I won't hold my breath, unless, of course, I find myself in the same room with you someday.

[VaYallaDawg]

44. Amen, and welcome to DU!

[demo dutch]

35. In front of the victim's mother thats downright malicious! I'm sure she calls herself a "christian"!

[houston mark]

36. I can almost see the tobacco juice running down her chin.

What an ignorant hayseed she is. Just another hateful bigoted "tool" of the "republican't" party.

[colsohlibgal]

39. One Poor Excuse For a Human Being

I saw that last night and couldn't believe what I was seeing. This women has hit the daily double, evil and dumber than a box of rocks. Somewhere in North Carolina there is a district that voted to put this abomination in Washington. Of course there is a district in Minnesota that buys into Michelle Bachman's vile insanity too. Sad and more than a little scary that these people have any role in running our country.

[BrklynLiberal]

40. Evil...pure evil...dressed as a little old grey haired woman.

[HillWilliam]

41. Sweet Jeebus on a bike I despise that awful woman,

seeing little difference between her and her erstwhile opponent, Vermin Robinson, NC's even nuttier answer to Alan Keyes. She is a consistent affront. It hasn't been, what? two weeks since she make KO's worst person list with her heckling of a freshman representative on the floor of the House (a violation of long-standing tradition and decorum). Her voting record is one long rubber-stamp of whackjobbery and neoKKKon agenda. There is not one single, solitary, lone positive thing to say for it. But buddy, she's been right at the right-wing trough of money, betcherass.

Now this.

If anyone needed living proof that coyotes schtupp buffalo, there it is.
