http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/07/16/1314206/-Minnesota-Republican-Bob-Frey-dinosaurs-have-always-lived-with-manThe Minnesota Republican who claims AIDS is caused by sperm eating your colon is, it turns out, just full of top-notch science:
Bluestem Prairie also reports that Frey used to run a group called Creation Science Seminars, which claimed that teaching Creationism would reduce the rate of violence that the theory of evolution had apparently brought upon communities.

Who's boggarting all the dinosaurs?

(3,596 posts)I don't recall reading anything in Genesis about God creating the dinosaurs or Noah herding two of each dinosaur species onto the ark. I must have gotten the wrong version of the Bible.
What a twit. In general Minnesota is a state of relatively intelligent persons but you put this guy along with Bachmann together than they have 1/4 of a normal brain.

(37 posts)Sodomy causes AIDS. Bob Frey says so. And he has a "scientific" explanation on how that happens.

(5,632 posts)No, this dude didn't say that ... I am linking the internet outrage generated by a picture of Spielberg next to a triceratops model from Jurassic Park. There are people who really think dinosaurs are still around, apparently ... and idiots like this don't help.
These zany Republicans. What will they come up with next?

(146,308 posts)He has one other right-wing Republican running against him in the August primary, along with a Democrat who will be on the November ballot. Carver County is a nutcase conservative center and District 47a, which this moron is trying to represent, is very likely to elect a Republican. Will it be Bob Frey? Could be. I don't follow that district very closely, but it has a history of electing morons.
As they say here in Minnesota, Uff da!

I live in 61B, so I'm lucky to have Thissen.

(146,308 posts)The Democratic candidate, who has no primary opponent is Matthew Gieseke. His website: http://www.matthewgieseke.org/
If Frey wins the Primary, there might be an opportunity to flip the district if his moronic statements are used to campaign against him. I don't know, and am focused closer to my own district, 67a, for the state house.

(59 posts)They still do. We eat roast dinosaur every thanksgiving. Colonel Sanders serves Kentucky fried dinosaur. The smallest dinosaurs that ever lived are alive today. We call them hummingbirds.
Ever since Jurassic Park I can never look at wild turkeys the same way. If I see them out in a field I stop the car and just watch them a while. How they move, the way they bob their heads when they walk. And just for a moment I'm back in the Mesozoic. Wild turkeys are just about the size of the real Velociraptor. And they had feathers. Spielberg got a lot wrong about the stars of JP. He made them way too big, for one thing. Jack Horner, the real life inspiration for the Sam Neil character, looked at a skeleton discovered by one of his grad students and told him "kid, you just found Spielberg's Velociraptor." He named it Utahraptor.
