West Virginia commenter shows his true colors...

Lily-white.

A newspaper in West Virginia is defending its decision to publish a reader's racist and homophobic comments, which called for "queers" to be put to death along with "n*ggers, spics, kikes and wops."

WCHS-TV reported on Wednesday that the Lincoln Journal had come under fire for printing a transcript of a reader's voice mail comments in the "Gripe and Gratitudes" section of the paper.

The reader referenced a recent report about how the Lincoln County Board of Education had terminated lesbian teacher Kelli Burns from her job at Guyan Valley Middle School teacher after she accused board officials of forcing students to write complaints that she had tried to "turn them gay."

"We were really glad to hear that School Board is getting rid of them queers," the voice mail said. "The next thing is we need to get rid of all the n****rs, the spics, the kikes and the wops."

"You know even them Catholics, they are wrong as baby eaters," the reader continued. "We need to clear them people out and have good, white, God fearing Christians and everybody else needs to be put to death for their abominations."

"We'll keep Lincoln County white and right. Thank you."

Looks more to me like he was comparing Catholics to "baby eaters" (most likely his term for Jews.) Archae Mar 2013 #5

Although I have never seen baby served at an atheist group meeting. Only toddlers.

I'd heard ignorant bigots say that Jews baked their Passover matzo with the blood of Christian babies (the "blood libel&quot , but Catholics? Jeepers.

He probably meant to say "...are as wrong as baby eaters."

And here I was expecting this mouth-breathing knuckle-dragger to speak perfect English. Silly me.

Non-Christians looking for an axe to grind would hear about transubstantiation and reach the 'obvious' conclusion.

It's occasionally come back to smaller extents since the Reformation, but I usually only hear it from extra-super-bonkers Protestants.
