Republican Todd Kincannon beating his chest re: Elliot Rodger: "my son won't cower like a bitch"

Claims HIS son would have a gun. THIS attitude is EXACTLY what is behind this situation. Sexist, neanderthal, ignorant, violent - VILE.



"cower like a bitch"...

EDIT:

THIS was Kincannon's comment for the Chris Martinez's father, who is grieving the murder of his son - real nice eh?

It was these bits, aimed at a parent whose child had just been murdered by a gun-wielding maniac:

"No idea how my son will die, but I know it won't be cowering like a bitch at UC Santa Barbara. Any son of mine would have been shooting back."

and

"Fuck him. He is a piece of shit. His tragedy sucks, but he blamed me for it and wants to take away my rights."

Sickening.

16. We all know what he meant by the B word BUT....
Sun May 25, 2014, 11:28 PM
May 2014

He dug an illogical hole and fell into it in a way that removes all doubt that he was referring to women using that word and meant it as the ugliest misogynist slur he could possibly regurgitate... because... a bitch is a female dog and the bitch never cowers... the bitches are the leaders of the pack and the alpha bitch will defend the pack with her life and against all male dogs within that pack.

SO... he has no idea what his words meant. At that point only the context he was trying to impress is important and THAT was truly damnable. His analogy is a logical fallacy. His point was a prejudiced, self-aggrandizing slur that puts him directly in the same class with E. Rodger.

Welcome to hell Mr. Kincannon.

May 2014

Chairman of the Simpsonville, South Carolina Election Commission of Simpsonville.

Someone might want to ask Erskine College about his activities. He has a scholarship awarded in his name to that college.

He has called an Eastern Orthodox lawmaker a papist, and said infant baptism is water torture. He apparently likes to pretty much piss everyone off.

Mon May 26, 2014, 12:27 AM
May 2014

He is a small time official in a tiny town in South Carolina and apparently his initial twitter account was shut down for other similar garbage.

A number of media outlets detailed a range of inflammatory messages he posted to his Twitter account[14][15] in 2013, which include saying that transgendered people should be placed in a concentration-style camp.[2][16][17] His Twitter account was suspended in late 2013.[14][18] In early 2014, he created a new Twitter account named "Todd__Kincannon", on which he has made sexist and homophobic statements, many referencing Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis in sexist and defamatory ways.[19][20][21] The traditionalist conservative author Rod Dreher highlighted tweets made by Kincannon in which he labeled Dreher (who is Eastern Orthodox) a "papist" and compared infant baptism to Chinese water torture.

He acts the way he does for shock value, for attention. That's not to say he isn't a piece of shit--he most assuredly is. But yes, this tweet is entirely in line with his other tweets. It's Todd Kincannon through and through.
