Tea Party darling, talk-radio host, former Oregon lawmaker, and current Americans for Prosperity commercial star Jeff Kropf took to Facebook this morning to share his thoughts about the latest twist in a story about a Gladstone hairdresser slain in her salon.

I won’t say much more than this: And look at that smile!

One commenter gets in on the action to call Kropf out for, at best, making what could be a legitimate point in the most inflammatory and insensitive way possible. But, of course, she’s quickly shouted down in a neener-neener, ad hominem pile-on. Hit the jump to see it.

Also, Obama is terrible. O my precious libtards, when will you ever learn?

  1. “But, of course, she’s quickly shouted down in a neener-neener, ad hominem pile-on. “

    Good thing Blogtown doesn’t have any of that!

  2. If you have an American flag in your Facebook picture, you are automatically a better American than everyone else.

  3. @CC: If you get them while they’re wearing the stars-and-stripes T-shirts they undoubtedly own, it’s probably constitutionally-protected political speech. They’d support that, right?

  4. @ CC: Murder is too good for those people. Do the worst thing possible and gay marry them or falsify one of their documents.

  5. That comment thread is a pretty fucking solid counterpoint to the proposal that removing anonymity from internet comments will somehow elevate the discourse. At least you guys are funny.

  6. So now we are advocating violence (setting people afire, heterosexual murder) in the face of disagreement? This post was pointing out that a law, beyond the murder, was broken, albeit in a rather poor manner. That these women were unlawfully married certainly doesn’t overshadow the murder, but the point is still valid.

    Comments like this which are sadly common show that there is hatred and intolerance on all sides of every issue. It makes you look as foolish and hateful as those who advocate violence against gay people. Sad.
