Homophobic Texas candidate calls reporter ‘c*nt, b*tch, coward’ in voicemail tirade

Source: Raw Story

D Magazine on Tuesday published a shockingly not safe for work voicemail from Dallas City Council candidate Richard P. Sheridan who said that the publication had not done enough to inform voters that his opponent was gay.

In the voicemail left over the weekend, Sheridan tells reporter Dan Koller that he’s “extremely happy” that “Sodomite” Leland Burk lost to Jennifer Staubach Gates.

“You know, you didn’t post the fact, communicate to voters that he’s gay, and I think I did a pretty good job of communicating to voters,” Sheridan, who only received 28 votes, opines. “You, sir, are cunt, bitch, coward, Mr. Koller. Dan Koller is a cunt, bitch, coward. And I don’t think you have one testicle, sir. You’re a sorry-ass, you’re a disgrace to our city, you’re a propagandist to the Sodomites.

“And when I see you, I’m not sure what I’m going to do, but minimally your eardrums will hurt, you motherfucker. Because the word fuck means abuse and if you’re in the gay lifestyle, the mothers that bring their children up in the world, wanting to do good, want to live a good life, and you go with the Sodomites? You motherfucker, cunt, coward Dan Koller.”

If I were Mr Koller I'd take out a restraining order on him because he threatened him.

Get that yet? This shitstain is a shining example of that fact.

The worst thing he can think to call another man is a combination of female body part and female dog and deny he has a male body part. Then he has to 'splain "motherfucker" so that actual fucking isn't part of it. Females don't fuck in his world, their body parts get fucked.

Now do you get it?

I have never found a homophobe who actually likes women, even though he might claim to enjoy using them.

Wow. I knew parts of Texas had a pretty high number of devolved semi-humans, but that 28 of them live in the same Dallas City Council district and managed to find and embrace this pond scum is sorta creepy. If I lived there I'd be lookin' sideways at the Qwikstop...

Richard P. Sheridan, the nutjob who finished fourth in Saturday’s election for the District 13 seat .., is mad at me. To hear him tell it, it’s because I didn’t .. inform .. voters that Leland Burk, who finished second .., is gay. But I think it .. has .. to do with the fact that .. I said .. Sheridan .. is best known for being physically removed from public meetings after exceeding the time limits ... Or maybe Sheridan is .. mad .. because he received only 28 votes ... Heck .. 18-year-old Jacob King garnered 77 votes, and Sheridan vowed to stop running for office if King’s total exceeded his ...

Mr. Sheridan is confused by gay people. He probably wonders, if there is a penis in your anus, How are you going to get your head in there?
We should all feel bad for Mr. Sheridan; after all there are only 28 people in the Dallas Metropolitan Area who are dumber than him.

Shouldnt this voice mail message be sufficient evidence that Sheridan would not be a responsible gun owner? Does he legally own guns? Shouldn't LEO have the right to remove any guns that are in his possession, for the safety of the community?
When these sort of right wing misanthropes own and use guns we are all less safe.

Brahs, Rednecks, 40 year old adolescents, bikers, abusers, power drinkers, wannabe hooligans, ferals, early peakers, guys who think they're Stone Cold Steve Austin and unchecked snapcases make America suck.

I don't go to bars. I avoid state fairs. Forget about football games. I hide on Saint Patrick's day. I see one too many of these feral goateed motherfuckers in one place, I just leave. America has an inhuman and ubiquitous love affair with violence and hatred.

I think it's an hour past a "problem" and going into epidemic stage.

Too many short fuses badly in need of repairs.
