Harry Lyon's anti-gay Facebook rant Part 2

So, if you haven't read the Part 1 to this southern political saga... you're missing quite a bit. Including the screenshots of this Chief Justice candidate spewing his bigotry all over his Facebook.

We spent the weekend trying to decide whether Harry Lyon was drunk or if he's just sincerely backfuck insane. We've concluded the latter.

This evening a local newspaper reported on this batshittery.

Lyon in trouble over Facebook comments
MONTGOMERY — An Alabama Democratic Party official on Monday said chief justice nominee Harry Lyon has complied with finance disclosure reporting requirements, but still can be removed as a candidate for remarks about gays and gay marriage he posted on Facebook, among other statements.

Luckily, our Party Chairman Mark Kennedy, isn't a bigot and has scheduled a Friday hearing before the State Democratic Executive Committee to consider his candidacy.

Lyon's response to this news,

“This is the excuse they’re going to use to remove me,” he said. “I’m going to tell them I agree with every one of these principles and they can come and cross-examine me (on) what I put on my Facebook page.”

No backtracking for this man! He stands firm by his hate! In fact, runs his campaign on it. He did attempt to delete some of the more venomous posts, but apparently he doesn't realize that damage control in this century is a full-time job now that the Internet exists. We've got all the screenshots. Lolz.
