Bob Owens is known on the internetz as the “Confederate Yankee.” That’s him, in the picture on the right. It’s either from his church directory, or maybe the guys at Sadly, No! made it. Regardless, that is what he looks like. He is double-plus unsmart, as the Sadly, No! archive of Bob Owens’s work demonstrates, thoroughly.
Anyway, here is what Bob Owens decided to say on Twitter, after Tyler Clementi killed himself:
Really sorry that kid committed suicide at Rutgers, but he took his own life. How much sympathy does he deserve for a stupid decision?
Yeah, y’all, this is what passes for “thought” on the wingnut side of the aisle.
Notice I didn’t say it passes for “humanity,” because that’s not one of their goals.

Too bad Tyler wasn’t a fetus. He would have had a million conservatives lined up mourning for him.
As someone who’s lost people I know to suicide, AND as somebody who, in high school, attempted suicide once, I’ll answer his question:
AS MUCH SYMPATHY AS ANYONE WITH ANY OTHER ILLNESS DESERVES-DEPRESSION IS CRIPPLING FOR PEOPLE, AND CAN SOMETIMES IMPAIR THEIR BETTER JUDGEMENT.
Which, y’know, I would think would be obvious to anyone who is not an a*****e.
Oh, Buffy, they wouldn’t REALLY be mourning for the fetus. They’d say they were, but really, they’d just be mourning over the fact that somebody somewhere might have had fun conceiving that fetus.
Sex for procreation is fine….so long as you think of Jesus while you’re doing it.
The RRRW outdoes The Party when it comes to killing sex.
Is he holding that gun in case someone tries to steal his turd?
If the fetus was that of a gay person they’d be rejoicing
