It seems the bigoted Senator thinks that gays are a bigger threat than terrorists:
Sen. Chris Buttars: “Homosexuality will always be a sexual perversion. And you say that around here now and everybody goes nuts. But I don’t care.”
[…] “They’re mean. They want to talk about being nice. They’re the meanest buggers I have ever seen.”
And just seconds later, Buttars draws a comparison between some gays and radical Muslims.
“It’s just like the Muslims. Muslims are good people and their religion is anti-war. But it’s been taken over by the radical side.”
[…] He also talks about gay marriage being the beginning of the end.
Buttars: “What is the morals of a gay person? You can’t answer that because anything goes.”
And finally, this is how senator Buttars refers to the “radical gay movement.”
“They’re probably the greatest threat to America going down I know of.”
This was all from a documentary being filmed on the passing of Proposition 8 in California. I suppose the Senator deserves some credit for being honest enough to not try and hide his bigotry, but he’s still an asshat.
Well, at least he is honest…
My guess he was made fun of for his last name in school and it traumatized him.
I know that was mean…but sometimes I can’t help myself.
Here are the major problem areas: Jews, blacks, gays, mexicans, mixed races and terrorists. In that order.
I’d also like to give him points for honesty, but damnit….why is it that these bozo’s are only honest when they’re saying scary, reprehensible shit like this? It’s like an election or something: “I’m one scary bastard… but at least I’m not gay or Muslim.”
Problem areas for who? If you’re talking about people like Buttars, then it’s obviously: gays, terrorists, mexican, mixed races, blacks, Jews.
If you’re talking about yourself, then your problem area is clearly your own mouth.
No, I’m talking about the big picture. The World.
Like I said…
Sen. Buttars is a lovely individual. He’s the former Executive Director of this this place.
I just cant understand how people like this get elected..
I mean,this guy is a SENATOR!
What a human piece of shit
“They’re probably the greatest threat to America going down I know of.”
*juvenile snickering*
Look at Schwarzenegger. 48% of California’s vote, son of a ranking Austrian Nazi official and himself wearing Nazi belt buckles during photo shoots.
If it weren’t for the possibility of a Mexican, Chinese or Israeli getting into the presidency, I’d support his efforts to get the constitution amended so he could get elected.
He’s a state Senator, which is probably how he gets away with it. Once you get to the national stage this sort of crap plays less well with your credibility. Even if people in Utah agree with Buttars privately, few people want other people to see them for the small-minded assholes that they really are.
Usually we only see this kind of open mindedness from asshat’s like Moloch. Senators are usually too scared to open their mouths.
Chris Buttars is not honest. In fact, he can’t seem to stop lying:

Now, now, it’s not a lie if it’s told to prevent someone from loosing his eternal soul. You just don’t realize that the means always are justified by the end, especially when the end is Eternal Salvation! Gagg, Hack!
I hear the insult “asshat” used quite often on message boards and I still don’t know exactly what it means. However, I’m pretty sure that “Buttars” does mean “asshat” in some language.
Honestly I don’t care what his other titles are, as long as one of them is “Unemployed.”
I think “Disgraced and disavowed by the people of Utah” would be pretty nice too, though.
