Even those lacking the mental capacity most are given know the comments on a radio show are sensationalized for ratings and such and that the host was KIDDING. The host is not calling for nuns to be actually pistol whipped. Show some sincerity for your own words by having a brain in your head and arguing against the arguments, not the twisted words of a jokester... All of you should get a sense of humor.

That's an insult to all alligator hunters and all southerners. Believe it or not, there are lots of alligator hunters AND southerners who have more sense than these two. Also, to the bishops who said, "” These would not be the words we would have used," your misogyny speaks for itself in both your words and actions over the past 1500 years or so. Don't act like you are superior. You are worse.

He is their representative, standing for their values. His remark only reflects the general polity of the country and its people. There are many who share his feelings, and soon those feelings will be demonstrated in their behavior. Meanwhile liberals sleep, believing that everyone deserves a seat at the table. They are telling you what they stand for, and you do nothing. The real question is why people elect this kind of a man to office. He is their representative, standing for their values.
