Homophobic Comment Traced to Republican Senator's Office

Post by UNHWildCats »

Someone left a nasty comment on gay rights blogger Joe.My.God's popular site. It read: "All Faggots Must Die." Joe posted the ip address and traced it. Turns out It came from a Georgia Republican Senator's office! This should be interesting.

Joe posted the ip address along with the fact that the ISP was "United States Senate," and it appeared to come from the Atlanta office of Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Georgia). Now the Atlanta Journal Constitution has confirmed that Sen. Chambliss is investigating whether a staffer left the comment using the name "Jimmy" on a post about the Don't Ask Don't Tell cloture vote.

I don't think he is defending him. He is pointing out the partisanship that has ruined this country.

Better wash you window off on your stomach, you got your head up your partisian ass, and can't read that I said neither way was good.

:roll: BFD. Everybody must die.



What would you expect from the office of a guy whose parents hated their son so much they named him "Saxby"?
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.
