Colorado has their own demon hunter now

Meet 'Dr. Chaps' Gordon Klingenschmitt: Colorado's New Anti-Gay, Demon Hunting State Legislator

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Wednesday, 11/5/2014 11:44 am

Gordon "Dr. Chaps" Klingenschmitt, a radical anti-gay Religious Right activist who brags of having once tried to rid of woman of the "foul spirit of lesbianism" through an exorcism and who openly proclaims that "American law needs to reflect God's law" and that our foreign policy must be based on the Bible, won election to the Colorado House of Representatives last night.


Klingenschmitt, who wrote a book about how President Obama is possessed by demons and once performed an exorcism of Obama, ran an utterly embarrassing campaign yet nonetheless managed to defeat his Democratic opponent by nearly 40 points.


Since Klingenschmitt is now officially an elected Republican legislator, it seems like a good opportunity to take a look back at the radical views he will now be bringing into the Colorado legislature.


Klingenschmitt is a viciously anti-gay theocrat who believes that gay people "want your soul" and may sexually abuse their own children, which is why he says they should face government discrimination since only people who are going to heaven are entitled to equal treatment by the government:

The RW wackos will just love this idiot.

Republican Who Performed ‘Exorcism’ On President Obama Elected to Colorado State House

No, this is sadly not satire. Colorado barely held onto their Democratic governor in last night’s hotly contested election. They did, however, elect a radical, anti-LGBT, Obama-hating chaplain to their state House of Representatives.

The Colorado Springs Gazette reports that activist Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt, who made national headlines last year for his attempt to exorcise a “demonic spirit” from President Barack Obama, won his position with 70 percent of the vote in the El Paso County district. The district is solid Republican, with a 2-1 registered advantage.

When giving his exorcism, Klingenschmitt described the President as a “demonic enemy of the Constitution.”

“We pray against the domestic enemies of the Constitution against this demon of tyranny who is using the White House occupant. That demonic spirit is oppressing us.”

The right-wing lunatic also accused a little girl in Maine of suffering from “mental problems” when the state Supreme Court granted her the right to use the bathroom of the gender she identified with. This transgender girl had an identical twin brother, to which he felt it necessary to say, “for one of them to suddenly start dressing like a girl, it’s not just a choice, but it’s a demonic spirit. It’s easy to say that one of those two boys is possessed by a demon. And really what the parents ought to do is take that boy to an exorcist, take that boy to a minister. Or at least, discipline the boy. Maybe give him a spanking.”

This guy belongs in a loony bin.

No, not a mental hospital.

A loony bin.

The Most Extreme Election Winner You Have Never Heard Of

It’s hard to overstate just how extreme Colorado’s new state Sen. Gordon Klingenschmitt (R) is; it might even be impossible. RightWingWatch has been tracking Lt. Klingenschmitt — a.k.a. “Dr. Chaps” — since 2006 when he first became a darling of the religious right after a Navy court found him guilty of appearing in uniform at a political protest. As a military chaplain, he objected to requirements that chaplains offer non-sectarian prayers, and claiming persecution, he has since broadcast his very conservative views through his “Pray in Jesus’ Name Project.”


Klingenschmitt regularly publishes videos featuring rather loose-lipped rants on a number of topics. In particular, he is virulently anti-LGBT and is dedicated to running the country according to Christian beliefs. RightWingWatch posted its own round-up of videos they’ve curated over the years in honor of his election. Here is a collection of choice Klingenschmitt quotes:


1. “Almighty God, today we pray imprecatory prayers from Psalm 109 against the enemies of religious liberty…who recently issued a press release attacking me personally… Let their days be few, and replace them with godly people. Plunder their fields and seize their assets. Cut off their descendants. And remember their sins. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”


2. “She gave her life to Jesus. She welcomed the Holy Spirit. And I looked into her eyes as she began to weep and I said, “You foul spirit of lesbianism, this woman has renounced you, come out of her in Jesus’ name,’ and she began to wrestle with that and suddenly her eyes began to bug out and then she began to weep, and weep, and weep as the Holy Spirit forgave her sins… She was baptized the next day and then she became one of the best evangelists in our church, started carrying around her Bible telling all of her friends about Jesus and she started dating boys.”


3. “Almighty God, please bless Lowes Home Improvement stores for their wise decision to stop advertising for the TV show All-American Muslim, which is nothing but Islamic propaganda designed to whitewash the fact that practitioners of militant Islam not only slaughtered over 3000 American civilians, but routinely kill millions of Christians worldwide.”


4. “Sen. Franken recently released a video in which he blames the high rate of suicide among homosexual teens on school bullying, by abusing these sad tragedies as his own propaganda tool. By spreading even more lies to more teens, Franken is ultimately causing more suicides. Teen suicide is tragic enough without Senator Franken recruiting more kids into homosexuality, which causes depression, self-hatred, self-rejection and self-murder.”


5. “Sexual harrassment [sic] is banned in the military, unless you’re a homosexual abusing a Christian, then it’s openly encouraged.”


6. “Federal bureaucrats will enforce Obamacare to exterminate the elderly, systematically. We must take a stand.”


7. “Picture this: four NFL players coming out as gay, and then this whole youth movement of coaches recruiting children into the homosexual lifestyle and punishing Christians because they voice an opposition to that sort of thing in the locker room… that is a demonic use of the sporting industry.”


8. “Is bestiality now a perceived sexual orientation? Well since it’s not defined in the ENDA bill, yes it is!”


9. “An atheist chaplain would be the perfect vehicle for convincing wounded warriors that they should end their lives because there’s nothing in the future and there’s nothing now, so why not just save money and kill themselves.”


10. “In other words, it doesn’t matter what your skin color is, it matters what’s inside of your heart. And if your heart is full of corruption or sin or immorality — in this case, homosexuality — then you should be discriminated against.”


11. “You know what, citizens, if you don’t have a gun, I’m telling you — as a Christian chaplain — sell your clothes and buy a gun. It’s time.”


12. “I want to put up there again this picture of this gay couple, these two men, holding up a baby. I want you to notice that one of them, one of the men, almost has his tongue hanging out, like he’s licking his chops, like, ‘This baby is ours now!’ And that’s fine, you may call that love, but it looks to me a little bit like lust.”


13. “These abusive parents now have used this little boy to try and claim that he’s a girl to try and tell the world that they ought to let transgender adults into your little girl’s public bathrooms… There is a demon of rape inside of this movement to violate your daughters.”


14. “There is NO mention of sexual orientation in the Constitution, and any judge who imagines one is a domestic enemy of the Constitution, and should be impeached and removed from office.”


15. “Child molesting is therefore a favorite “recruiting” tool of adult homosexuals. They violate children, and when the victim is later confused, they lie and say ‘you were born that way.’”

This is one sexually confused, sexually repressed, sick little twitch.

And damn, the American Taliban is alive and well in this one.

Beady eyed little twerp, ain't he?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

That he is.

He's also a sexual pervert.

Damn! Off with his head!

Doesn't that sentence tell you anything? You communists are pretty fucking stupid. You try to make this guy look awful and then you have to acknowledge that he beat a Democrat by 40 POINTS!

Do you understand simple logic. If you make this guy out to be the best thing since sliced bread then that takes some sting out of getting beaten by 40 points, but when you make him out to be an idiot then you make yourselves look even more idiotic because you couldn't beat this guy, You make Democrats look like the party of losers and idiots by taking the tactic of slamming this guy.

 

[mdk]

I am not sure what is more embarrassing? His positions or the fact that the Democrats couldn't find a decent candidate to beat this loon?

 

[mdk]

Does anybody know the last time a Democratic candidate won the 15th statehouse district?

It has always been conservative except for the Great Depression when the agricultural folks needed help. The rise of the industries in Pueblo and Colorado Springs during WWII put and end to that.

That's a bit extreme. Still... Liberals can't stand the thought of anyone harboring differences of opinion, different morals and mores, or traditional family values.

Mr. H., you just condemned the hypocrisy of most of the TPM as well.
