Yet another ignorant, poorly educated, insensitive arrogant GOPer. During an appearance on the radio earlier this year, Republican Senator Stacey Campfield, commented on many issues, including the rise in bullying and suicides among gay teens.

Also, another reminder that we have to get out and vote in November.

Tennessee...I wonder if he can spell it. A dangerous, narrow minded man who should not hold political office.

Thanks Sylvia for the link to the Examiner article by Robert Sobel. Tennessee State Senator Campfield is just another piece of rotten produce from the GOP/Teabagger's funny farm garden.The man is a complete fool and should have never been elected to office. Read and noted.

What a bigoted and ignorant individual. Attitudes as stupid and I'll informed as his are indefensible.

Unreal, do people vote people in because they like the way the person looks or they like their name? I hope this POS is ousted in his race.

Will someone tell me how these people get elected...?

There seems to be an endless supply of these Repugs and of their equally repugnant followers.

Ice Age Man found,thawed out, and residing in Tennessee. I guess he hates gays because his parents gave him a girl's name.

"I think a lot of times these young teens and young children, they find it very hard on themselves and unfortunately some of them commit suicide."

"Unforfunately" Senator Campfield? You are one cold-hearted piece of work.

Not just vote in November but vote wisely at ALL levels of Govt. I agree Jim, how do they get elected, but the do as people don't pay enough attention to who they are voting in, and then some vote for them for they truly believe the same crap.

I just read another news story how a Judge in Texas justified his want of raising taxes in the County because they had to prepare for the UN forces that were going to invade under Obama's command. Yup, I'm sure they are Judge, right to YOUR County; UN forces. This is a Judge, and people stand before him in his court....omg.

This lack of information on these elected officials like AIDS can't be obtained by heterosexual sex is dangerous. It gets into the mainstream and young people and others who don't know the real truth to the science can die by his stupidity. These people need to be removed from these high places of control. And yet I know some wonderful and smart people that continue to struggle finding employment yet the seats of power are filled with the jerks. And we wonder why we are in these messes? I don't. Shame on this man.

You know I find it a complete toss up as to who is actually more dangerous, the Sylvias or the Camp fields.Any one who labels the Campfields as ignorant, uneducated, stupid, crazy are not only providing an excuse for their abhorrent rhetoric and action but making it easy to just dismiss them as fringe lone wolves with no organizational affiliation/back up helping them find targets and paying for their defense. You know the same exact treatment that the media and the public give to the reich-wing and Christian Taliban of America terrorists when they assassinate Doctors, bomb clinics, public buildings, publish "Wanted Dead" posters, fatwa if they were Muslim or commit other acts of terrorism or call for acts of terrorism or justify acts of terrorism.
Campfield or Bachmann or Issa or King or Roeder... are NOT crazy, stupid, uneducated, fringe, or lone wolves acting on their own. They are vile disgusting evil people who are sane, educated, intelligent, organized and a growing part of the Repug-Tea Bagged-Corporate-Christian Taliban of America Alliance all working to futher their goal of a Theo-Fascist Plutocracy in control of America. Stop and think about the number of states that have proposed or enacted religious exemptions for bullying in schools, the US House opposition to the VAWA because it might protect LGBT persons, the assault on women, the poor, minorities through voter suppression, ACA, Medicaid, Title X, Planned Parenthood, Personhood Amendments and the list goes on and on and on. Crazy ignorant unorganized lone wolves do not take control of multiple State governments and enact nearly identical laws.

" My understanding is that it is virtually, not completely, but virtually impossible to contract AIDS through heterosexual sex."

+++++++++++++ Well...isn't HE just the dumbest little brick in the privvy?

When the fringe elements become the leaders, that group is in the throws of self-destructive collapse.

The GOP has gone from political party to dominionist cult, no better that the Followers of Jim Jones, David Karesh or Charles Manson.
