Democrat for Senate: Kill practicing 'gays' Candidate says incumbent Republican not advocating biblical values enough Posted: March 7, 2006 1:00 a.m. Eastern

A Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Ohio wants to make homosexual behavior a capital crime punishable by the death penalty.

Merrill Keiser Jr. is a trucker with no political experience, but he hopes to beat fellow Democrat Rep. Sherrod Brown in the May primary. The winner will try to unseat Republican incumbent Sen. Mike DeWine, assuming he wins the GOP primary.

"Just like we have laws against murder, we have laws against stealing, we have laws against taking drugs – we should have laws against immoral conduct," Keiser told WTOL-TV in Toledo.

Keiser, 61, says he's running as a Democrat because that's how he was registered the last time he voted.

The trucker, who hails from Fremont, Ohio, says there needs to be more adherence to biblical values in government, business and education – something he claims DeWine is not promoting.

"I believe that the United States has been moved in a Godless direction by the courts," he told the Sandusky Register. "To get good men on the court, we need good senators."

Some of Keiser's other positions include defense of the Second Amendment, securing U.S. borders, lower taxes to stimulate the economy, support of Israel and prayer in public schools.

Keiser told the Register the United States should make conversion to Christianity part of the war on terror to teach Muslims the error of their choice in religion.

The candidate also decries evolution, saying it is contrary to the Declaration of Independence.

"The teaching of evolution works against the liberties we have in the United States," he told the paper. If a person believe in evolution, he or she "has no rights," he's quoted saying.

He also opposes the United Nations, abortion on demand and thinks so-called global warming is a false concern.

Liberal blogger Deborah White was less than thrilled with Keiser's candidacy and the media's response to it.

"What if this hate-filled moron called for the execution of all blacks or all Jews?" she asked. "Would the public outcry be similarly subdued? Would the press still report it as a cute curiosity or merely an alternative viewpoint? Where is moral outrage in 2006?"

White speculated Keiser was planted by the GOP.

"He must be a Republican plant," she wrote. "Please ... someone tell me I'm correct."

there needs to be more adherence to biblical values in government

So Jesus forgave prostitutes and tax collectors and this dipwad wants us to kill homosexuals? His stupidity is surpassed only by his hypocrisy.

Nope. Just an idiot.

Nope. Just an idiot.

You're being redundant...he's a democrat.

I thought the liberal churches were flying rainbow flags...I guess not all of them.

You're correct, it's hard to decide in what area he's the furthest gone on.

"The wages of sin is death. Most of us deserve to die."

Apparently, the wages of righteousness is also death, at least in the corporeal sense. And in the unforgettable words of that great American Western anti-hero, "Deserves got nothin' to do with it."

I do not see why this is surprising. Democrats are virulent anti-gay when it suits their political purposes. Remember when they chased a Republican Senate candidate out of the 2002 race by suggesting he was homosexual. And, of course, the whole slander of Chaney's daughter in the last campaign. I would say this guy is mainline Democrat.

[smith288]

I think he's on to something - but in the wrong party.

I think he is a nutcase....and is in the right party.

[MinnesotaLibertarian]

Right we Republicans advocate death to Homosexuals all the time right.

I don't think she's really suggesting that. I think she just means that he's a plant to make Democrats look bad. I don't think that's true, though. I think this guy's just a total idiot. I have no idea when he registered a Dem, but his whole platform, ranging from the insane (kill gays) to the normal (cut taxes), is the exact opposite of the Dem platform.

[MinnesotaLibertarian]

Smearing Democrats is not something the media cares to do because Democrats are good and this does not fit their stereotype of what a Democrat is. This guy is one of two Democratic Senate candidates. Give the guy the publicity he deserves.

This guy IS getting publicity. He was on TV and in the paper. Now, not being from Ohio, I have no idea what kind of TV station WTOL-TV or what kind of newspaper the Sandusky Register is, but if the media didn't want to make Dems look bad, they wouldn't have ran this story at all. However, I leave open the possibility that these are very tiny media outlets and the story may stay limited to them. I guess I'm just thinking out loud more than anything.

Gee, if a Republican had said that, the press would be all over him.

[M203M4]

A democrat extolling theocracy? A democrat calling for gays to be summarily executed? Hot damn, I know what he should do...

[Milhous]

Suspicious how this article attempts to associate conservatives who oppose the UN, support right to life, and disbelieve global warming with rabid homophobia.

[Smartass]

Now that's a laugher. If he wins the primary, will the Dems fund him. I don't think so!!!

It's called free speech. You don't have to like it, but the @$$hole has a right to it. By the way, don't equate two guys butt ramming each other to being Black or Jew. The Blacks and the Jews hate that from what I hear.

Name one murder done in the name of deism

That's lame and stupid, because Stalin and Mao didn't murder in the name of Atheism either. It's the lack of any moral standard, higher than what you decide is right or wrong, is what does the killing.

[peyton randolph]

No retraction? Typical clymer.

[conservative blonde]

It is wonderful to know the DemocRATS have some wingbats just like the Republicans do.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Actually he sounds like a real Communist posing as a republican, posing as a Democrat.

If communists gained control of this country the first thing they would do is blow up every planned parenthood, round up and kill all the college professors and send every gay to one of those gaylags up north.

Funny thing is, so would the Muslims.

[mugs99]

Romans 1 Paul clearly says that homosexuals deserved death. He did not tell Christians to create laws for it, though, but he said it does deserve death.

Paul didn't write the Constitution and our laws aren't based on a holy book.

Jesus _did_ save the adultress from stoning. There was a reason for that.

Care to expand on that reason? Are you saying the adultress was a lesbian? Or are you saying He disapproved of the "God of the Old Testament"?
