NC Dems Petition to Get Virginia Foxx to Apologize for Remarks on Matthew Shepard
I mean REALLY apologize:

Petition Calling for Virginia Foxx to Apologize for her Remarks on the Murder of Matthew Shepard

Congresswoman Virginia Foxx's comments show a profound ignorance of the violence which is committed against gay individuals. Matthew Shepard was a student who, because he was gay, was tied to a wooden fence, beaten, and left to die. Virginia Foxx said that calling this attack a hate crime is a "hoax."

Show Virginia Foxx these distasteful remarks won't go without notice.

2. Done
Thanks for posting.

That's the very, very least that loathsome woman can do. It takes some real, to-the-bone, unmitigated, self-righteous, forthright, venomous gall to call a child's death by torture at the hands of hatred-filled thugs "a hoax" right in front of that child's mother -- especially when Foxx knew Mrs Shepard would be in the gallery.

Pure-dee venomous, spite and meanness. Foxx has since been stubbornly unapologetic about it.

I hope she blisters in hell along with the thugs she enables and abets.

3. Most Hated Woman in America
As a North Carolinian, I can honestly state that Virginia Foxx has staked her position of "most hated woman in America" for her grossly ignorant distortion of the facts of a case of national importance.

Truly a filthy liar--worthy of the Repugnant Party.

4. Unfortunately for me,
she's my House Rep. How embasrassing......I wish she would just slither away under a rock, or play tag on a I40 or I77 on a busy Friday afternoon in heavy traffic....
