Comments on: Another Hoax From Rep. Foxx? http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/04/30/11061 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:03:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Bruno http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/04/30/11061/comment-page-1#comment-39689 Bruno Fri, 01 May 2009 17:31:15 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=11061#comment-39689 This leads me to again bring up a favorite point of mine: even if each and every one of us "behaves" (and that's hard to do in a community as large as the LGBT), the other side can and often will invent the misbehavior. That said, I wouldn't be totally shocked if she'd received a death threat or two. In this day and age, craziness abounds (and irony...hate crimes anyone?).

They turned out to be “I wish you would just go kill yourself”.

Her choice of wording was well chosen, no doubt, but she did not understand what she was saying. Which is to say that she could not understand what she was doing was perpetrating a lie. No doubt she'll be coming up with all sorts of things to pass off her misguided thinking. It was Perez Hilton! Perez Hilton!!!

You see, as a Christian Foxx believes both that lying is a sin and that the wages of sin is death. However I somehow doubt that the DC police are going to take any <i>divine</i> death-threats seriously. For starters, how could they prevent God from killing Foxx if she wanted her dead? And in any case, how could they possibly bring a prosecution? "Yahweh, you have been charged with the premeditated murder of Representative Virginia Foxx with a thunderbolt. How do you plead?"

Want to make any bets on the validity of the case this time around??......
