Given how savagely anti-gay the mainstream Oklahoma Republican party is, it’s no surprise that the state’s Tea Partiers are so rabidly hateful that they come across more as dark satire than as serious bigots. To wit: This week, an Oklahoma magazine discovered that last summer, Tea Party state House candidate Scott Esk endorsed stoning gay people to death: “I think we would be totally in the right to do it,” he said in a Facebook post. Esk went on to add nuance to his position:
That [stoning gay people to death] goes against some parts of libertarianism, I realize, and I’m largely libertarian, but ignoring as a nation things that are worthy of death is very remiss.
When a Facebook user messaged Esk to clarify further, he responded:
I never said I would author legislation to put homosexuals to death, but I didn’t have a problem with it.

You posted from Slate.
‘Nuff said.
Yea? But they are teeny tiney stones.
Huh?
Apparently neither of them read John 8:1-11.
That’s what Sharia Law is for.
Hey hey, ho ho, stoning gays has got to go.
Just make it a misdemeanor again, that’s all.
Of course, the queers would think that is as bad as stoning. Heck, not making a “wedding” cake for them is like stoning them.
Another dem plant. Not newsworthy, and the fact its on a rag like Slate tells you a lot.
I have my doubts about the TEA Party, but Muzzies sure don’t like fudge-packers and probably wouldn’t hesitate to chuck a couple of rocks at one.
So? Other people post from Slate as well. Plus this has been reported on other sites.
Did he say it or not?
Lets be honest, if homos like Dan Savage had the chance, would they stone Christians to death?
Answer: yes
Wanting gays to keep their private lives private is one thing. Wanting them executed is a whole other matter.
so ALL tea party people must support that!!!
-or- he’s a muslim
Maybe he just meant supplying them with marijuana . . .
What difference does it make?
Agree.
Maybe he should stone his own. LiberTopians are 'largely' responsible for the homo advocacy movement.
If there is a group claiming to be tea party supporting him, then that’s a problem ... and not just for that group.
I want to find out more
Its a plant for crying out loud. Couldn’t be more obvious.
