Whoa - AZ legislator calls constituent a baby killer??

Yes, yes, it's from the Daily Kos, but there are links to the entire email exchange.

Re: Whoa - AZ legislator calls constituent a baby killer??

  • This is nuts. And the legislator also implied that if you're in favor of reproductive freedom, you must be a communist. I'm also not buying that he didn't look up this constituent's history. The "move back to China" thing is terrible. 
  • Welcome to AZ- we have replaced Louisianna as the state who's legislator just kind of went off the deep end- they call it patriotism!
  • Oh, that's classy.  I'm so glad our elected officials are above name calling and can have a civilized and respectful discourse with the people.

    Yup.  I live in AZ and, sadly, didn't even bat an eye at this.  I just wondered which one of the many, many possible candidates it was this time.

    It seems to me there is a direct correlation between nutters and warm weather.

    Shiit like this would never happen in New England.
