Saxby Chambliss says gay slur originated with his office
My AJC colleague Bob Keefe in Washington has this:
U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss’ office has determined it was indeed the source of a highly publicized homosexual-bashing slur on an Internet site.
But in a statement, Chambliss’ office said it has not discovered exactly who was behind the slur, and has turned the matter over to the Senate Sergeant At Arms.
“The (Sergeant at Arms) has worked side by side with our personnel to determine whether the comment in question emanated from our office. That appears to be the case,” an unsigned statement from Chambliss’ press office read.
“There has not been a determination as to who posted the comment,” the statement read. “That part of the review is ongoing, and is now in the hands of the Senate Sergeant at Arms.”
Spokeswomen for Chambliss did not return a reporters phone calls or emails seeking more details.
Tuesday, a poster identifying himself as “Jimmy” wrote “All (gays) must die” on Joe.My.God., a blog dedicated to gay and lesbian issues – just as Republican Chambliss and other senators were debating a Democratic proposal to repeal the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. The proposal failed.
The posting was traced back to an Internet Protcol address matching Chambliss’ office, but it’s unclear whether it was one of his offices in Georgia or in Washington.

Fine. Fire the employee. But it surely gives an indication of what Chambliss’ office looks for in a candidate.

A perhaps flawed analogy to Nathan Deal’s problems: Nathan says all he did is help his kids (though I’d disagree). All the Senator did was hire whomever is a bigot (or hire the person who hired the bigot).
An aside, the really dumb thing about the comment left on the gay site is that who was the person hoping to convince of what? Gratuitous hate for its own sake by someone that draws a government salary.

And how did said staff member even know about joe.my.god, a gay blog? Apparently, he/she visited it before…
Out state ought to be a much better example nationally. Right now we’re a laughingstock. Barnes’s ad from, a month or two ago, is spot on. Why would any buisness want to relocate when we’re in the news because of:
-A staffer from our senator wanting to kill all the [gays]?
-A national laughingstock candidate in Nathan Deal for Governor?
-Corruption investigations involving a major party Gubernatorial candidate and the current Lt. Governor?
-A state assembly more concerned with microchips in brains than creating jobs?
Unreal.

After the Republicans voted unanimously against the cloture vote to end debate on the National Defense bill and move it to the floor for a vote, effectively killing the repeal of DADT and the DREAM Act, there’s no way I’d believe that one lone employee working in a Republican senator’s office never heard anything derogatory about our gay men and women serving valiantly in the military. They were probably the ones who got him riled up enough to wrote what he did. Either that or he’s a closet gay full of self-loathing in a Republican’s suit.

I am not particularly a Chambliss fan though I have voted for him. I do think it unfair to blame him for this act of stupidity. My best guess is that the perpetrator of this post will be summarily fired. Whoever posted that is entitled to his opinion – if he does not let that opinion interfere with his service in whatever position he holds. In this case, he should be fired not only for his inappropriate action, but because he is too stupid to be employed there.
Now, those of you who merely want this as a reason to fire salvos at Chambliss, knock yourselves out.

Did someone tell Chambliss this was wrong? I’m sure he’s a gay basher also.
Republicans seem to be allergic to gays.
(I’m straight but believe in letting people live their lives as they please,, as long as they don’t harm other living things, even republicans.)
So Chambliss should fire up the polygraph machine and get the person who did this out of there. Oh wait, wait, he’d have to fire everyone for agreeing with it, including himself.

Accountability should be the polygraph test and the immediately firing of the guilty party. If Jimmy is saying all people will die, that is a fact and if he means all gays are bound for hell then that is a religious view. Jimmy has a right to his religious view but he should not endanger any other person while demostrating his constitutional right.

Saxby appears to be taking the situation seriously and intends to fire the person writing the post.
IMO, the person did more than just write a bigoted post. If he wanted to just be a bigot he could have just called them all f*gs but instead he had to say that all f*gg*ts must die. His post was bigoted and threatening and should not be excused by saying so and so hired a bad person too..

Have indeed been fooled and will be again if I live long enough; and, that has led me to be very careful.

Brand new, the Senator gets a pass, otherwise my original point stands.

Studies indicate the Southerner in particular is very fearful that ‘his’ white women will be so attracted to the “Cult of the Giant Black Snake” they will abandon his ‘tiny’ self. Something similar is at work with the unnatural obsession with gay sex that pervades Dixie in particular. Secretly the gaybashers are gay themselves and dream of domination/penetration by a powerful male, while the women fear losing their males to the gay lifestyle that said males secretly long for.

*********************
Ex-gay, I hope you’re not working on Sunday’s. We’d have to put you to death. (Exodus 35:2) (To be fair, I’m not a biblical expert, so I don’t know if “work” includes doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, running errands, studying for school, or paying bills. Perhaps you can consult Bishop Eddie Long on that issue.) Also, eating shrimp is bad for you. God apparently feels one of his tastiest creations is an abomination, which is kind of an odd thing to do, if you ask me. Someone should notify Red Lobster so they can respect the word of the Lord and go out of business. (Leviticus 11:10)
While we’re on the subject of Leviticus and abominations, do your immortal soul a favor and check the clothes you’re wearing. If they are cotton/poly blend or (heaven forbid) cotton/spandex (check your undies in particular), you’ll want to repent, or make a reservation in the fires of hell. (Leviticus 19:19)
Oh, and the next time you swear at the Braves for making some bone-headed plays, please turn yourself in at the next condo board meeting so everyone can get together to stone you to death. (Leviticus 24:10-16)
Then again, maybe we could just agree that rational, modern humans don’t make rules based on a book that was pieced together from stories told by men who didn’t know what gravity was, and were fearful of an eclipse.

“Threats?” It seems to me that the blogger simply stated what God has already promised. On the same token, if Christian America doesn’t carry out that order, we will pay the price. Yet “we” allow them to continue walking hand in hand and grabbing each other’s butts in public. Oh… never mind… we are already paying the price! God’s wrath is upon us, and we still continue to ignore Him! Sooner than later America will wake up. God promises that too!

While 13,000 gay military personnel have been kicked out of the military since DADT was enacted, darn near that many military women are violated by hetro-pervert males annually.

Jane Kidd: Petty Democrat
September 23rd, 2010
7:58 am
A separate AJC story said, in part: Democrats seized on the situation.
“No American should be subjected to the threats of violence from the staff of a United States senator,” Democratic Party of Georgia Chair Jane Kidd said in a statement.
She criticized Chambliss’ office for not moving more quickly on identifying and disciplining whoever wrote the slur.
——–
But Chambliss admitted the slur came from his office and said steps were being taken to identify the individual. Ms. Kidd’s words reflect poorly on her since Chambliss appears to being doing all possible: admitting the slur’s origination and identifying the culprit.
Are Republicans now supposed to issue a press release criticizing Roy Barnes for holding fundraisers with alleged sexual predators? I hope not since neither one of these actions would solve any problem facing Georgians.
I expect the individual responsible for the slur will be identified and fired in a short period of time. And that should be the end of it.
Petty Democrats issuing petty press releases shows how small these people are.

The insanity of politically correct speech is proven. We’re concerned with a slur while Comedy Central is airing Chappelle reruns with frequent un-bleeped uses of the worst slurs (including the one that got Dr. Laura censured). A large segment of society apparently wants racial, gender, etc. division to continue. Ad nauseum over-analysis of these non-news stories leaves no other reasonable conclusion.
Do people in general not have enough real problems without creating more discord? Or, is it that we really like to fight and will come up with a reason when none exists? Or is there such a financial bonus to faux victim mentality under our warped politics of entitlement that it cannot die? Whatever happened to a “sticks and stone”…”but names will never hurt me” attitude? Police crimes of physical harm and punish the doers. Banish the thought police and let’s get on with important things in our lives.

I’m sort of hoping it came directly from Senator Chambliss himself so that we can ask him to explain why he is calling for genocide of a group of people.

Anything that isn’t White, heterosexist, Anglo-Saxon Protestant and male is to be destroyed and buried in the ground where it will never see the light of day again.

If some one like Chambliss would trash and question the patriotism of Max Cleland, a veteran who lost two legs and a right arm, defending this country, inorder to win a Senate seat, then you shouldn’t be surprised him saying something hateful like that. Oh, by the way, Chambliss got four to five deferments to keep from serving in Vietnam, to keep his arms and legs intact, but had the gall to attack my fellow vet Max Cleland. But Chambliss isn’t the worst, it’s the low-lifes of Georgia, who voted for him knowing what he did to a wounded vet.

Ironic that Saxby Chambliss acknowledged his office was the source of the comment, but didn’t apologize.

The email read “All fags must die.” Not “All [gays] must die.” See, that wasn’t so hard was it?

Anyone concerned about how “big brother” the ID’ing of the blogger is?? And these are the same folks that are so concerned with ‘what I do in my bedroom is private & no one’s business’. What hypocites!

@Astechie, What I do in my bedroom is just, in my bedroom. What a federal employee does, and says, while on taxpayer time and equipment is an entirely different thing. If you are incapable of distinguishing that fact for yourself, you really have nothing to offer this discussion.

Republicans have nothing to offer but hate, racism, homophobia, crystal meth and inbreeding.
That’s their contribution to society. When they’re not beating their wives.

I am pretty sure that it would be easy to tell which desk this came from and who was on at the time. If memory serves me the IP addresses are static i.e. set for each computer. And in the offices that I have worked in, only one person used a computer.
If there is not an announcement of a firing then Chambless is protecting his staffer.
