Michigan GOP committeeman under fire over antigay Facebook post

Source: Detroit Free Press

A group of state Republicans is calling for the resignation of Republican National Committeeman Dave Agema over an antigay posting on his Facebook page.

Agema’s posting Wednesday, during U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments regarding the legality of same-sex marriage, was based on an online article titled, “Everyone Should Know These Statistics on Homosexuals,” which appeared under the byline Frank Joseph, M.D.

The post depicts gays as sexually promiscuous, rife with sexually transmitted diseases and responsible for “half the murders in large cities.”

Dennis Lennox, a Grand Traverse County Republican precinct delegate and former county drain commissioner, issued a statement Wednesday signed by 20 other Republicans condemning Agema’s “deplorable actions” and calling for his resignation.

I couldn't agree more with Agema, just yesterday I had to take cover from the roving gangs of gays on the streets of Detroit.

from the SPLC:

One such statistic – attributed to a Frank Joseph, M.D. – says that “the average yearly income of a homosexual is $55,430 while the average income of a heterosexual in the general population is $32,144.”

Frank Joseph, M.D. did indeed write this, citing as his source the 1990 Statistical Abstract of the United States – a project of the U.S. Census Bureau that does not include any information whatsoever on sexual orientation. Hatewatch found Joseph’s article, titled “Everyone Should Know These Statistics on Homosexuals,” on the website of Tradition in Action, a radical traditionalist Catholic hate group which says that Hindus worship devils and approvingly quotes the Spanish monarchy’s infamous 1492 royal edict expelling all Jews who declined to convert.

More hate from a hate group, dutifully polly-parroted throughout the hate-filled nutbag world by the likes of WorldNutDaily and nutbag politicos.
