Clint McCants announces his resignation from Ark. school board
on Anderson Cooper's program tonight.

Admits he made a mistake, apologized. Also said he had to send his wife and children out of state for their own safety.

Karma, gotta love it!

3. ByeBye.
Let the accusations of "Witch Hunt!!!" begin.

What's this about safety? I don't approve of that horseshit, nor lying about threats.

I don't doubt that some leather daddies are mighty pissed, But pukes...especially drunk pukes, are such fucking liars and like to project.

6. Evidently, he's been getting death threats.
The parents of one of the kids who committed suicide were on right after McCants, asked everyone to stop threatening him, said they are praying for him.

7. I hate that shit. NO ONE should be subject to that.
I'd like proof nevertheless. Tighty-rightys' true religion is lying.

4. I can't feel sorry for him.



He's a dickhead and he made his own bed. Now it's time to sleep in it.

18. Absolute bullshit
Nobody has threatened him. Who would? Violence is NOT the M.O. of Gays or their supporters.

Never has been.

15. he was outed.
It was supposed to be only for his pals to see on Facebook. Facebook is usually such a stronghold for secrets, how could this have happened? :D

16. There was a peaceful protest against him - link
see here: http://bluearkansasblog.com/?p=4462

I condemn all those that turn to treats of violence. Years of public shunning is OK with me tho!

19. Is there proof of threats of violence?
Or will this mere statement from the disgraced hater be enough "proof" that the left is as crazy and violent as the right.

21. I too wonder if he is making it up for sympathy and to prove he is the oppressed party here
Hopefully someone will follow up to see if police were notified or not...

20. You meant "threats" of course.
"treats of violence" are for consenting adults with a handy safe word.

Have a good sleep! :)

17. What with this "for their own safety" shit?
Gays and their supporters aren't exactly Rand Paul supporters.

We don't NEED violence to make our political points.

22. It keeps bothering me about the threats to his family. Has he turned the evidence in to the FBI?
Edited on Fri Oct-29-10 01:26 AM by Kurovski
If he hasn't, he's one shit of a lousy dad. Children should never suffer from the idiocy of adults.


EDIT: actually, while not threats, I see some violent language was used in a thread here on DU. So, who knows? i hope they find out.

25. Mark Twain was right, as always.

"First god made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards."
