Tom Cotton Suggests Critics Of Indiana Law Should Be Grateful State Doesn’t Execute Gays (VIDEO)
[/font size - 5]

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) recently appeared on CNN and urged critics of Indiana’s religious “freedom” law to get a “perspective” and then he did what every Republican does to deflect the issue – he suggested that we compare the United States to Iran and then we’ll all see just how great we have it in America! Because gays aren’t executed here. Yay!

Cotton said, “I think it’s important we have a sense of perspective. In Iran they hang you for the crime of being gay.”

See that, you gay people?? You need to just shut up and be thankful that you’re *only* discriminated against. Quit yer whinin’ and be happy you’re allowed to breathe!

1. He's always been full-blown psycho.

6. Yeah, I know, but

its a meme

[BlueJazz]

2. Nobody is sending Senator Tom Cotton to the Nuthouse here but that doesn't make it fair or correct.

3. He has this fascination with hardline Iranian policies.

He should begin every speech with "Death to America!"

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Okay,this twit did

get his sound bite,and his optics for Fake Noise,who will run this on their scroller for twenty four hours.Enough said.

5. "Crime of being gay"????? He really believes it is a crime? Unbelievable!

8. He does because

in his mind christian sharia law is all there is. Too bad he lied so vigorously to gain a seat in our Senate. He's a big time cheerleader for the US as a theocracy and will stop at nothing to make sure it happens... which is why he's so dangerous. Well, one of the big reasons.

10. If you think that's bad,

the Arkansas Republican Party thinks he's prime presidential material and wants to pass a law specifically to let him run for Senate and the presidency in the same election

12. Yikes.

I am certain that we have a major problem on our hands and making it well known that this was NEVER a nation built on religious dogma. The challenge is that, as I have stated in my sig line, you can lead a mind to knowledge but you can't make it think.

14. I like that

"You can lead a mind to knowledge but you can't make it think."

[2naSalit]

15. Thanks... made it up myself

right here in my warped little mind. But you can use it if you like, it certainly gets attention whether it makes anyone think or not.

9. I noticed that too...

He must have legislation of his own waiting in the wings.

7. Norman Bates Jr. In addition to his views on gays & war, he thinks women should be 'allowed' to

divorce only if there's violence. Unbelievable, Ayatollah Cotton. I don't think men should be 'allowed' to behave this way-

[LeftishBrit]

11. Who VOTED for him?

I'd always associated Arkansas with Bill Clinton, and thought they were fairly moderate. This person sounds like the reincarnation of Jesse Helms, with a dash of Ahmadinejad thrown in!

13. in iran they also hang you for opposing the sitting gubmint, tommy

[bluesbassman]

17. I'd bet the rent he never thought of that.

Of course in his warped view he and his ilk are the government.

[malaise]

16. Cotton Mouth is lucky they don't execute traitors for

treason

[jmowreader]

18. Uhh...Tom? In Iran they also hang you for the crime of Christianity

The truth is, Iran hasn't stretched anyone's neck for either apostasy or consensual sodomy for quite a few years, but either one is punishable by death there.
