This is beyond belief -- Virginia Foxx, spitting on Matthew Shepard's grave during today's hate crimes bill debate, from Media Matters:

Summary: On April 29, 2009, in a speech on the House floor, Rep. Virginia Foxx claimed that Matthew Shepard's death was merely the result of a robbery gone bad. While his killers Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson did rob him, they also admitted that they were well aware of his sexual orientation and pretended they were gay to lure him away from the bar he was in at the time. The most striking feature of the case, of course, is that during the course of a normal, simple robbery, the victim is not generally beaten, tied to a post, and left for dead.

Rep. Foxx: "The bill was named after a very unfortunate incident that happened, where a young man was killed, but we know that that young man was killed in the commitment of robbery. It wasn't because he was gay. The bill was named for him, the hate crimes bill was named for him, but it's, it's really a hoax, that that continues to be used as an excuse for passing these bills."

3. What a horrible excuse for a human being. I wonder how she'd feel

about locked up with those two swine to see how they'd treat her. Not nicely, I'm sure. Her words bring pain to Matthew's family and friends and all of us who mourn the demise of tolerance for our differences.

4. Great jumpin Jebus

What is NC doing, trying to find the next Jesse Helms?

[Kookaburra]

7. Hmmph -- she's not from my district

I've never even heard of her -- jebus, what is wrong with that horrible woman?

[Warpy]

Apparently the election was close and very nasty

My fervent hope is that she won't last long.

6. This stupid excuse for a human being should just STFU

WTF is wrong with the district that elected this pathetic excuse for a carbon-based life form?

[closeupready]

8. She's just doing her bit in sinking the Hate Party further into the ditch.

Keep pushing right, you beasts.

9. Apparently ABC's 20/20 is behind this claim

According to a piece from 2004 they report that the perpetrators, some cop who I guess was the investigating officer and the girlfriend.

So should we be protesting Ms Foxx for parroting it? Or ABC?

[closeupready]

10. That was Elizabeth Vargas' piece. Talk about digging for dirt.

It's probably on Youtube. Will never forgive her for that. I literally change the channel every time her face comes on.

12. Me too, the hate she sowed is still going around

what a dreadful asshole. both her and Stossel

[closeupready]

13. Both major reichtards. Can't stand either one.

:puke:

[Duncan Grant]

11. Merely the result of a robbery gone bad? That's like calling Jasper, TX a traffic fatality.

I wonder what church Virgina Foxx goes to?

[Stevenmarc]

14. Any time I see Virginia Foxx pop up on Cspan I know I'll be treated to a huge dose of stupid.

She never disappoints.

15. What we should all do is call our Congress Critters

And ask them to censure Ms. Foxx for her hate speech. She brought disrepute upon the House through her words.

[bluedawg12]

16. I saw the news clip, she said that in front of Matt's mom!

What a beast and a liar.

[WillParkinson]

17. Oh, please, be fair...

I'm certain we (what's the excuse they always give....oh, yes...) took it out of context.

Spiteful.
Hateful.
Rotten.
Evil.
Woman.

(And, yes, it spells a word!)

[Lithos]

18. The "Banality of Evil"

Unthinking adherence to the hate and intolerance as spewed forth by the RW noise machine. In her mind she's not hateful or bigoted, she's just repeating what came off of a "news" site on the Internet.

I agree with K.O. She needs to resign immediately. A really disgusting individual.
