Not too long ago on the conservative talk radio show Davis & Emmer, co-host Bob Davis had a few things he wanted to get off his chest at the expense of the Newtown victims. On the show, he said this:
"And here's the other thing that drives me crazy. They trot out the victims. And I have something I want to say to the victims of Newtown, or any other shooting. I don't care if it's here in Minneapolis or anyplace else. Just because a bad thing happened to you doesn't mean that you get to put a king in charge of my life. I'm sorry that you suffered a tragedy, but you know what? Deal with it, and don't force me to lose my liberty, which is a greater tragedy than your loss. I'm sick and tired of seeing these victims trotted out, given rides on Air Force One, hauled into the Senate well, and everyone is just afraid -- they're terrified of these victims."
He added, "I would stand in front of them (the victims) and tell them, 'go to hell.'"
Yes, Bob Davis would tell the Newtown victims and their families to "go to hell" because they're supporting legislation which would force some gun owners to fill out more paperwork in light of someone in their families being shot and killed at an elementary school. Simply put, Bob Davis is a disgrace to the human race.
In light of these awful comments, there are a pair of petitions going around to get Bob Davis fired. If you're at all interested, please visit these following two links and spread word to friends and family about the story:

It's one thing to disagree with someone's political position, but it's another altogether to say something this hateful. I'd like to tell Bob Davis to 'go to hell.' And that's coming from me, someone who doesn't even believe in hell.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. I was actually going to end the piece by saying, "Bob Davis, as far as I'm concerned, you can go to hell," but changed my mind, largely due to the fact I don't actually believe in hell.
DeleteI hope the guy gets into trouble for these hateful words. I can't believe a person could be so vile and insensitive. It just amazes me that a person's paranoia could take such control over their thoughts and emotions that they'd resort to such abhorrent commentary.
