    It's funny how all these religious fundamentalists agree with each other. Islam doesn't have a monopoly on religiously-motivated hate.

    He should be impeached.

    I once again fail to be surprised.

    For whatever reason, the US tends to put small-brained individuals in charge.

    I can't take him seriously. I always think people are referring to Dan Patrick from the sports show :lol: (who's 100x better than this buffoon).

    All I can say is I didn't vote for him and voted for the more establishment Republican David Dewhurst in the primaries. It was also when I had to vote against the other guy who shares his brain, Ted Cruz. Although, I'm not implying either of them actually has an evolved brain, but rather a nervous system that merely controls breathing and the exhalation of hot air.

    What an idiot. No, it doesn't sound like it was intended to be a response to the shooting; the article indicates that it was a schedule tweet, but surely someone could have thought better than to release it at this time.

    And I have already seen from extreme conservatives on other sites some degree of joy that this happened--after all, it was only gay people that were killed.

    Do Texas officials realize what they're doing to us?

    At the very least it should give pause to people who actually "schedule" tweets and other social media posts. Timing can make things awkward (and also show how disingenuous posts can be).

    Fuck this clown. I'm sure he's that special kind of Christian who beats off to news reports about abortion clinics being bombed too.

    Again, another reason I would never, ever vote for a Republican, or even allow one into my house.

    That they can tolerate such people within their party (not to mention actually nominating Donald Trump) tells me its nothing I want to be any part of.

    I'm gonna get a welcome mat that says, "Welcome! Except Republicans."

    Call me mean, but I just have no use for them; again and again they've demonstrated a proclivity towards racism, sexism, greed, a hatred of the poor, a lack of respect for science and the environment, and a list that goes on forever and reads like the 7 deadly sins, times a million.

    Not even attempting to be respectful. Then again what would you expect someone like him.

    I don't know, honestly. Though... I'd imagine a fair chunk do.

    How tasteless... such ridiculous disrespect.
    If I ever met this man in real life, I don't know if I could hold myself back from punching him. It's the least he deserves.

    The fact that people are celebrating this is absolutely sickening...

    THe report I read (which I'm inclined to believe) is that this was a case of extremely unfortunate coincidental timing.

    The tweet was apparently preloaded and went out in the early hours of the morning (making it unlikely a human governmental officer would have done it), and it was a lovely graphic with the Bible verse overprinted on top. This wasn't a quick spur-of-the-moment thing that someone typed, so it makes sense that the tweet was intended to be a generic statement that just happened to unfortunately coincide with a terrible event.

    I hate bigots as much as anyone else, but let's consider that most bigots, particularly elected ones, have enough common sense not to say something that egregious, and particularly not with lovely graphics to go along with it.

    I didn't have time to research it before I posted it earlier today. I had something to go to, and assumed that it wouldn't have been upvoted to the front page of Reddit if it were a mistake. But it appears this really was a coincident.
